ure either of where he was or how he came there. The officer, too, had opened his eyes and shown other signs of returning consciousness. His wounds were clearly of no very serious nature. There was no danger of their pursuing me even should they wish to do so,Matthew OConnor Tröjor, for their horses had trotted off to join the numerous other riderless steeds who were wandering all over the moorlands. I mounted, therefore,Cam Atkinson Tröjor, and rode slowly away, saving my good charger as much as possible,Belstaff Maple Jackor, for the morning’s work had already told somewhat heavily upon him.
There were many scattered bodies of horse riding hither and thither over the marshes, but I was able to avoid them, and trotted onwards, keeping to the waste country until I found myself eight or ten miles from the battlefield. The few cottages and houses which I passed wore deserted, and many of them bore signs of having been plundered. Not a peasant was to be seen. The evil fame of Kirke’s lambs had chased away all those who had not actually taken arms. At last,Nike Kobe 9 Elite Damskie, after riding for three hours,NHL Mens Philadelphia Flyers Black Rink Warrior Pullover Hoodie, I bethought me that I was far enough from the main line of pursuit to be free from danger, so I chose out a sheltered spot where a clump of bushes overhung a little brook. There,Rick Nash Tröjor, seated upon a bank of velvet moss, I rested my weary limbs, and tried to wash the stains of battle from my person.
It was only now when I could look quietly at my own attire that it was brought home to me how terrible the encounter must have been in which I had been engaged,Brandon Sutter Tröjor, and how wonderful it was that I had come off so scatheless.

My headpiece was dinted with blows. A petronel bullet had glanced off my front plate,Chris Kunitz Tröjor, striking it at an angle, and had left a broad groove across it. Two or three other cracks and stars showed where the good sheet of proof steel had saved me. My left arm was stiff and well-nigh powerless from the corporal’s stab,Dame Moncler Herisson, but on stripping off my doublet and examining the place, I found that though there had been much bleeding the wound was on the outer side of the bone, and was therefore of no great import. A kerchief dipped in water and bound tightly round it eased the smart and stanched the blood. Beyond this scratch I had no injuries, though from my own efforts I felt as stiff and sore all over as though I had been well cudgelled, and the slight wound got in Wells Cathedral had reopened and was bleeding. With a little patience and cold water, however,Johan Franzen Tröjor, I was able to dress it and to tie myself up as well as any chirurgeon in the kingdom.
Having seen to my injuries I had now to attend to my appearance, for in truth I might have stood for one of those gory giants with whom the worthy Don Bellianis of Greece and other stout champions were wont to contend. No woman or child but would have fle
