"Oh, Clara!" said Emmeline, "I see now that you are hurt.

How selfish we have been! Oh dear, oh dear!" And both Emmeline and Mary immediately surrounded her, examining her arm, and almost carrying her to the sofa.
"I don't think it will be much," said Clara.

"It's only a little stiff." "Oh, Herbert, what shall we do?
Do look here; the inside of her arm is quite black." Herbert, gently touching her hand, did examine the arm, and declared his opinion that she had received a dreadfully violent blow.

Emmeline proposed to send for a doctor to pronounce whether or no it were broken.

Mary said that she didn't think it was broken, but that she was sure the patient ought not to be moved that day, or probably for a week.
