Mr. Roumann opened his eyes.
"Take the rod from his tongue, Andy," directed Mr. Henderson.

"Are you much hurt?" asked the professor.
Mr. Roumann passed his hand slowly across his head.
"I feel rather strange here," he said. "There seems to be some injury."
Mark silently pointed to the cut. Mr. Henderson quickly examined it.
