Ned did not stay unconscious long. He was half-conscious. He dimly heard the pleading voice of little Mary, he felt her caresses1, he was aware that the shots and the shouts and the whoops2 continued, he felt the throbbing3 pain of his wound, he felt himself lifted and carried, lax, and deposited again; and he felt a sharper, sickening agony as fingers manipulated the arrow, while a kindly4 voice soothed5 him. That must be the surgeon, Dr. Lippincott.
He shut his lips firmly, not even to groan6. It was the part of the soldier to bear pain; and if he was only a boy, he also was a soldier. A “snip” sounded, upon the arrow, and for a moment the shock was almost too much to stand. Then the shaft7 was gently but firmly slipped from the hole. The surgeon had cut off the head and had drawn8 the arrow out backward, for the point was of course barbed.
“You’ll do nicely, my lad,” spoke9 the surgeon. “It’s only a flesh wound. It followed outside the skull10. Good!”
[216]
