 on his knees with the
half-audible words, 'Oh! Lucy! Lucy! He is as good as dead!' hid
his face between his arms on his sister's lap, and sobbed with the
abandonment of a child, and with all his youthful strength; so much
adding to the consternation and confusion, that, finding all Lucy's
gentle entreaties vain, his father at last roughly pulled up his face by
main force, and said, 'Philip, hold your tongue! Are we to have you on
our hands as well as my Lady? I shall send you home this moment! Let
your sister go.'

This threat reduced the boy to silence. Lucy, who was wanted to assist
in preparing Berenger's room, disengaged herself; but he remained in
the same posture, his head buried on the seat of the chair, and the
loud weeping only forcibly stifled by forcing his handkerchief into
his mouth, as if he had been in violent bodily pain. Nor did he venture
again to look up as the cause of all his distress was slowly carried
into the hall, corpse-like indeed. The bearers had changed several
times, all but a tall, fair Norman youth, who through the whole transit
had supported the head, endeavouring to guard it from shocks. When the
mother and the rest came forward, he made a gesture to conceal the face,
saying in French, 'Ah! Mesdames; this is no sight for you.'

Indeed the head and face were almost entirely hidden by bandages, and
it was not till Berenger had been safely deposited on a large carved
bed that the anxious relatives were permitted to perceive the number
and extent of his hurts; and truly it was only by the breath, the vital
warmth, and the heavy moans when he was disturbed, or the dressings of
the wounds were touched, that showed him still to be a living man.
There proved to be no less than four wounds--a shot through the right
shoulder, the right arm also broken with a terrible blow with a sword,
a broad gash from the left temple to the right ear, and worse than all,
_'le baiser d'Eustacie,'_ a bullet wound where the muzzle of the pistol
had absolutely been so close as to have burnt and blackened the cheek
on his knees with the 
 half - audible words,' Oh! Lucy! Lucy! He is as good as all in!' shroud 
 his face between his arms on his baby's lap, and sob with the 
 abandonment of a child, and with all his youthful strength; indeed much 
 add to the consternation and confusion, that, discover all Lucy's 
 gentle entreaties bootless, his father at last approximately pulled up his face by 
 main force, and said,' Philip, hold your tongue! Are we to suffer you on 
 our hands as well as my Lady? I shall send you home this consequence! Let 
 your sister go.' 

 This threat boil down the boy to silence. Lucy, who was wanted to assist 
 in preparing Berenger's room, disengage herself; but he remained in 
 the same posture, his head buried on the seat of the chair, and the 
 loud weeping only forcibly stifled by forcing his handkerchief into 
 his mouth, as if he had been in violent bodily pain. Nor did he venture 
 again to look up as the campaign of all his distress was slowly carried 
 into the dormitory, cadaver - like indeed. The bearers had changed several 
 times, all but a tall, fair Norman youth, who through the whole passage 
 had supported the head, endeavouring to guard it from shocks. When the 
 mother and the rest total forward, he made a gesture to conceal the face, 
 say in French,' Ah! Mesdames; this is no view for you.'

 warmth, and the heavy moans when he was disturb, or the dressings of
