noon before
Mrs. Condiment will see that your effects are transferred to another apartment . `` And you , friends , '' he continued , addressing the men present , `` be so good , so soon as we have gone , to undress that fellow and put him to bed , and examine his injuries while I send off for a physician ; for I consider it very important his life should be spared sufficiently long to enable him to give up his accomplices . '' And so saying , Old Hurricane drew the arm of Capitola within his own and left the room . It was noon before the physician arrived . When he had examined the patient he pronounced him utterly unfit to be removed , as besides other serious contusions and bruises , his legs were broken and several of his ribs fractured . In a word . It was several weeks before the strong constitution of the outlaw prevailed over his many injuries , and he was pronounced well enough to be taken before a magistrate and committed to prison to await his trial .
