"He is still alive!" A nobleman stepped forward to check Godoy's pulse, then turned back and called out loudly.
More than ten minutes later, the Court Physician arrived, instructed the servants to carefully lift Godoy onto a stretcher, and moved him back inside to administer aid.

"Your Highness, the physician says your guard should no longer be in danger of losing his life, but he has broken his right arm, and there are some additional lacerations."
