"Better let ther capt'in say what we shall do wi' yon cuss o' creashun!" suggested one who was apparently a leading spirit; "it's his funeral, ain't it?" "Yas, yas, it's his funeral!" "Then let him do ther undertakin'." Robber Dick was accordingly supported to a sitting posture, and the blood that flowed freely from his wound was stanched.
Putting his sword up to his head, he found that he had been saved by the very means which were now giving him so much pain. The intense cold had frozen the blood, as it flowed; and stanched it more effectively than any surgeon could have done. Ralph after rubbing his hands and arms, to restore circulation now endeavored, by the remains of twilight, to see where he was, and how he had been saved.
On the first of May, Peter's bleeding heart had been so far stanched as to enable him to begin skirmishing around the affections of a girl named Smith; and if she refuses him, he thinks that tombstone may yet come into play. But we all have our doubts about it. Game was so plenty about our neighborhood last fall that Mr. Fogg determined to become a sportsman.
Lucy, who was now ten years old, sprang forward to meet him; he lifted her, and for awhile she lay with her head on his shoulder and her arms round his neck, sobbing bitterly, while Charlie clung to his brother's disengaged hand. "Don't cry, Lucy, don't cry little woman; it will all come right in the end;" but Lucy's tears were not to be stanched.
Assuredly it was stained red with blood from my lungs ere I could utter two words. The Maid stanched the blood, saying "Did I not bid thee to be silent? The saints forgive my lack of faith, whereby this blessed thing has failed to heal thee!
'But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God' and the bleeding heart was stanched, and the yearning for some one to love and be loved by was satisfied, when he turned himself from the desolation of earth to the riches in the heavens. He was standing on the edge of possible death, for his followers were ready to stone him.
On all other matters the son and brother had become more silent than ever, was being nicknamed far and near, flatteringly and otherwise, for his reticence; but let Ruth sit down with him alone and barely draw near this theme, this wound, and his speech bled from him and would not be stanched.
His short sword glistened, reversed, and her cheek was laid open by the hilt. She staggered back. The soldiery moved on. The women surrounded her and stanched the wound. To her the blow held the difference between a cut and a cancer; she knew that it could never heal; and, as the blood poured down her face, for the first time she divined the uselessness of revolt.
His howls were redoubled when he was clutched from behind and swung over the Black Captain's shoulder, but in five minutes his tears were stanched, and he was playing with the officer's accoutrements.
Now, if the body had been dragged, or even carried, to the door, blood must have become smeared about the floor, or at least there would have been drops, but there were none, and this seemed to hint that the corpse might have come to itself, sat up on the sofa, stanched the wound, and walked out.
