Excerpt from A Son of Gad: An Anglo-American Story of to-Day

The laird was delivered into the tender hands of Janet, Ian's wife; but he must needs do the bandaging himself, and he did it in a smother of self-anger. As for the pain, he gave no Sign of suffering; his mouth was tight, his face grimly set as if he dared the worst and were defiant. The binding done, he took to a back room, rumbling angrily like an incipient earth quake.

Can I bring you anything to read, sir? Asked Janet, touched by the pathos of the disabled, desolate figure.

Read! He cried. God's Sake, woman, what do I want with reading? But if you bring me Something to kick, I'll be obliged to you.

I was thinking, Sir, reading will be better than kicking, rejoined Janet, who was privileged and not afraid to take liberties.
