This injury called for a surgeon, and he had nearly said so; but, reddening, checked himself, recalling the deliberate denial of care to the Jacobite wounded at Inverness, and the actual removal of their instruments from the few of their own surgeons imprisoned with them.

Ohhhh, yeah, that was a really powerful line <3 :( To actually remove the surgeons' instruments... that's a special kind of cruelty, ugh.
