The surgeon urged the two women to leave the room.
"The left arm is dislocated at the shoulder, without fracture," said the surgeon.

"Lend me a hand, will you?
Hold his body firmly--here and here--with all your might, while I pull the joint into place.

If his head or spine are not injured the pain may bring him to consciousness.
That will be a good thing.

Now, ready--one, two, three, pull!" The two men gave a vigorous jerk, and to Gianbattista's surprise the arm fell back in a natural position; but the injured priest's features expressed no pain.

He was evidently quite unconscious.
