"Just a minute," said John, bringing his unbandaged hand above the covers. Brennan stopped and, turning, saw the hand extended toward him. "I don't care what you say, Brennan," John said, "you've got to shake hands with me." Brennan hesitated and then returned to the bedside, grasping John's hand. For a moment they regarded each other silently.
I told him if I could help in any way to let me know. An hour later I saw him and Elizabeth going down to the same stream and the same old willow tree. They got. And the next day Elizabeth looked like some one who had been unbandaged and was letting out breath that for a long time had been held in.
He stood beside the bandaged veteran as she rode away, a graceful, independent figure. "Is she all tiger, or part woman?" he said, turning to Mathews, whose eyes had a singularly thoughtful look. The latter turned to him with a quick gesture, and threw up his unbandaged hand. "My boy," he said, "she's not a half of anything. She's all tiger, or all woman! God only knows!"
They sat under their tree even after the games and races had begun and were rather glad that in the excitement over the afternoon's programme they two were forgotten and free to roam about. They went down to the creek where the burned arm was unbandaged. Jocelyn was rosily pleased to see David frown at the ugly raw scar.
Night was coming on, and we were putting up the shutters, when a shell fell close by in the trench. Next, our floor was covered with dripping men, five of them unbandaged. Shells and wounds were connected in my mind by that close succession. No one was secure in that wrecked village of Pervyse. Along the streets, homeless dogs prowled, pigeons circled, hungry cats howled.
Her face was turned full towards the man hidden by the creepers, who was watching her with intense interest, but she was unconscious of his gaze. Wombo retreated slowly. Oola, cowed, whimpering, behind him. Then, she made an appeal to Lady Bridget, stretching out her unbandaged arm imploringly. That fellow medsin man husband belonging to me.
A chill struck him as he saw the angry red bullet-mark, and a tiny stream of blood winding from it down her white breast. Very carefully he lifted her to see that the wound in her back had closed perfectly. Then he washed the blood from her breast, bathed the wound, and left it unbandaged, open to the air. Her eyes thanked him. "Listen," he said, earnestly.
As for her costume, it was very odd indeed. Fancy a pagne, or skirt, all formed of little strips of material bedizened with red and black hieroglyphics, stiffened with bitumen, and apparently belonging to a freshly unbandaged mummy.
When his eyes were unbandaged, he was in a decent sitting-room, with tokens of family occupation lying about. This oath was taken; and then the gentleman, not without some emotion, acknowledged himself to be the missing father of the heir. It seems that he had fallen in love with a damsel, a friend of the person with whom he lodged.
Nothing else in the world matters. Just rest and get well for me." He kissed the hand against his lips, then reached up the unbandaged arm, and with gentle fingers pulled mine away. "But there is one thing I must talk about," he said solemnly, "something you must do for me, Madge, for I cannot get up from here to see to it.
