young man - up!" He cal ed down
to the anxious male wringing his hands and then
banging once more; he caught himself, stopped and
looked up, "Please sir! My apologies, tis urgent - it's
me brother - I've taken off two of his fingers - he's
bleedin' awful! I didn't mean to do it - twas an
accident - hurry sir, please - he could die - blood is
everywhere!" Just like that, he was alert, awake,
refreshed, and ready to go! "Very wel - I need to
wash, get dressed, sit there, wait for me, I haven't a
clue of where you live, we shal take my carriage to
hasten the journey."
The young male nodded, rubbing his
midsection that was tight with worry, he was wishing
to tel him hurry, but kept it back - sitting on the
doorstep, he rocked and waited. Closing the window
to and turning back to the room, Quinton looked to
the bed, it was empty. "Where has she gone to
now?" He blasted, whipping his night shirt up and off
of his body, standing nude – displaying to no one in
particular a body lean, strong with whipcord muscles.
Going straight to his clothing, he began
dressing hurriedly, watching his door for her return.
Due to the emergency, he had little time to locate her
as he rushed through his home - going for the
remedies he would use for blood loss and closing off
wounds, tossing al into his medical grip. In a hurry
and impatient with wondering where she'd gone to;
he cal ed out, "Suga?! Suga?!" Stil there was no
sight of her, "Blast you Suga Caine, where have you
gone to?!"
There was no answer, he could not wait, nor
worry. He rushed out his back door, heading for his
smal stable barn when once more, he was brought
to a stop – straight ahead was his horse and
carriage being led from the barn, by none other than
- Suga.
"Al ready masta, I do it for you - you gots to go
- I tol' this horse, hurr'up now - masta ain't got time for
no foolishness!" She'd hurried and was out of breath,
her voice was sweet, feminine, sultry, low - he
couldn't believe his ears, he couldn't believe his
eyes. She was sweating, wrapped in the sheet with it
knotted about her as best she could and bare foot;
his horse, carriage, ready to go.
"Suga, are you mad!? Back inside with you! I
can do such things myself!" He scolded.
"I got's t'do my bit! You don’ enuff now, gone -
don't worry 'bout me - he waitin' - gone!" She
ordered him in her sweet concerned way. Just like
that, head down, she dashed off back into the house,
so that he could climb into his carriage and be off.
Quinton suddenly smiled once more, he was
breaking a record, he’d smiled more since having
Suga than he had that year. Driving to the front for
the young man, who hurriedly leapt on board and
they were on their way.
Sure enough, Quinton arrived to quite a mess,
and true, the man he was to treat had lost a great
deal of blood – the family had also col ected his
fingers, as if he could put them back on.
Cleaning the wound, Quinton wondered if the
body could heal itself back in such a way, as to reknit
the appendages back fol owing such a severing.
Even at his thoughts, he’d heard of no success as of
yet for such a procedure; being honest, he explained
that unfortunately, it was impossible. To do so, would
endanger him further with gangrene and worse.
The family and the young man, had little choice
but accept his advice and he carried on with
cleaning al areas of the two finger stumps, and then
painstakingly sewed them closed, pul ing the skin
over to stitch them. Two or more hours later, the
deed was done, the fingers bandaged with him
warning, if infection set in – to contact him
immediately.
Afterward, the mother fetched warm water for
him to clean up; her husband asking what they could
possibly give as payment. Giving it some thought,
Quinton informed them, “I'm in need of cloth, cloth for
garments, I’ve a new servant who has come to me
with little, in fact, nothing. Have you cloth which can
be made
