Osterman
had
not
at
any
time
since
the
shooting
,
lost
consciousness
.
He
lay
upon
the
floor
of
Hooven
’
s
house
,
bare
to
the
waist
,
bandages
of
adhesive
tape
reeved
about
his
abdomen
and
shoulder
.
His
eyes
were
half
-
closed
.
Presley
,
who
looked
after
him
,
pending
the
arrival
of
a
hack
from
Bonneville
that
was
to
take
him
home
,
knew
that
he
was
in
agony
.
But
this
poser
,
this
silly
fellow
,
this
cracker
of
jokes
,
whom
no
one
had
ever
taken
very
seriously
,
at
the
last
redeemed
himself
.
When
at
length
,
the
doctor
had
arrived
,
he
had
,
for
the
first
time
,
opened
his
eyes
.
“
I
can
wait
,
”
he
said
.
“
Take
Harran
first
.
”
And
when
at
length
,
his
turn
had
come
,
and
while
the
sweat
rolled
from
his
forehead
as
the
doctor
began
probing
for
the
bullet
,
he
had
reached
out
his
free
arm
and
taken
Presley
’
s
hand
in
his
,
gripping
it
harder
and
harder
,
as
the
probe
entered
the
wound
.
His
breath
came
short
through
his
nostrils
;
his
face
,
the
face
of
a
comic
actor
,
with
its
high
cheek
bones
,
bald
forehead
,
and
salient
ears
,
grew
paler
and
paler
,
his
great
slit
of
a
mouth
shut
tight
,
but
he
uttered
no
groan
.
When
the
worst
anguish
was
over
and
he
could
find
breath
to
speak
,
his
first
words
had
been
:
“
Were
any
of
the
others
badly
hurt
?
”
As
Presley
stood
by
the
door
of
the
house
after
bringing
in
a
pail
of
water
for
the
doctor
,
he
was
aware
of
a
party
of
men
who
had
struck
off
from
the
road
on
the
other
side
of
the
irrigating
ditch
and
were
advancing
cautiously
into
the
field
of
wheat
.
He
wondered
what
it
meant
and
Cutter
,
coming
up
at
that
moment
,
Presley
asked
him
if
he
knew
.
“
It
’
s
Delaney
,
”
said
Cutter
.
“
It
seems
that
when
he
was
shot
he
crawled
off
into
the
wheat
.
They
are
looking
for
him
there
.
”
Presley
had
forgotten
all
about
the
buster
and
had
only
a
vague
recollection
of
seeing
him
slide
from
his
horse
at
the
beginning
of
the
fight
.
Anxious
to
know
what
had
become
of
him
,
he
hurried
up
and
joined
the
party
of
searchers
.
