You're not seriously hurt, and it's lucky for you I didn't follow your example.

If you had been struck with one of your own bullets, a carriage and pair would have been none too large to drive through the hole it would have made.

As it is, you're drilled clean--a nice little perforation.

All you need is antiseptic washing and dressing, and you'll be around in a month.

Now take it easy, and I'll send a stretcher for you.".
