"Think not of that, kind John," said Eustace; "death must come sooner or later, and a sword-cut is the end for a Knight." "You will not, shall not die, Sir Eustace!" cried Gaston. "Your wounds " "I know not, Gaston; but the point is now, not of saving my life, but the Castle. Speed, speed, Ingram! Tell the Prince, if this Castle be taken, it opens the way to Bordeaux itself.
Godfrey tried to speak, but could not do so above a whisper. "He will do now," the man said without paying any attention to his words. "He must have a thick skull or that sword-cut would have finished him. Give him some wine and water now, and some soup presently. We must not let him slip through our fingers." Some liquid was poured between his lips, and then he was left alone again.
"All ready," answered the captain, beginning to collect things "I have just finished two head-pieces out of the boar-hide for myself and Maikar, which will turn an arrow or a sword-cut, unless delivered by a strong arm. Don't you think them handsome?" "They are suitable, at any rate," said Maikar, "for they are as ugly as our faces."
As cheerfully as might be they talked till Edmund had finished his meal, and then Rose begged him to let her examine and bind up the wound. It was a sword-cut on the right shoulder, and, though not very deep, had become stiff and painful from neglect, and had soaked his sleeve deeply with blood.
"I'd bargain to eat all of Master Edmund's brains you ever saw." "He's as dead as a red herring." "I say he is as life-like as you or I."

That, too, was a wedding-present from Athalie.
His left hand was being continually plucked at by the children while he talked, and after Merthyr had dispersed them with a shower of small coin, he showed the hand, saying, glad of eye, that it had taken a sword-cut intended for Count Ammiani. Merthyr sent him back to mount the carriage, enjoining him severely not to speak.
There was a sword at his side, and a sword-cut on his forehead, which, by the arrangement of his hair, he seemed anxious rather to display than hide.
"The better part of three days. 'Twas like sword-cut in a great mountain plain, and on the third day we came to a wall of rock which was the head of it. This we scaled, how I do not know, by cracks and fissures, the stronger dragging up the weaker by means of the tow-rope which by the mercy of God we carried with us.
"How is Lieutenant Lyon?" inquired the captain with no little anxiety in his tones and his expression. "I reckon he's got a sword-cut on the arm; but he's right side up, and don't say nothin' about it." "What were the losses?" "We had two killed and four wounded." "Who were the killed?" "Orly Lyon and Barron." "Both new recruits, and one of them is the nephew of Major Lyon."
