"There!" said he, when he had at length attended to my hurts and made me tolerably comfortable.  "I think you will do pretty well now for an hour or two.  The wound in your breast looks very much inflamed, but that is only to be expected from the character of the weapon with which it was inflicted.  But I have applied a lotion which ought to allay the inflammation somewhat, and I will prepare you a nice, soothing, cooling drink, of which you may take as much as you please; and when you have finished it, Francois, who will remain here to look after you, will bring you a further supply.  But what you now need more than anything else is sleep; so, if you should experience the slightest inclination that way, please yield to it without hesitation.  And now, senor, I will bid you _adios_ for the present, but will come and have another look at you before dark."
