On his next trip Santa Claus found so many stockings hung up in anticipation of his visit that he could fill them in a jiffy and be away again in half the time required to hunt the children up and place the toys by their bedsides. The custom grew year after year, and has always been a great help to Santa Claus.
The eternal sameness of it all will so distress us we shall awake one morning, find them at our bedsides, give a kick, and die from sheer ennui. They'll use our banners to boil their fat puddings in, they'll roast oxen in the highways, and after our girls have married them they'll turn them into kitchen wenches with frowsy skirts and ankles like beeves!"
"Oh, one doesn't eat the lark for dinner. He's a breakfast bird, you know. One rises with him. Bedsides, we should try to keep our lark in fine feather instead of subjecting it to the discomforts of a gridiron in some " His observations came to an abrupt close as both he and his companion pitched forward violently, barely saving themselves from projection through the glass.
In the good old times, when pestilence avenged the poor and oppressed upon their oppressors, what grim and dismal plagues may not have stalked by night and noonday out of those hideous streets, and passed the marble bounds of patrician palaces, and brought to the bedsides of the rich and proud the filthy misery of the Ghetto turned to poison!

And not until all who had been hurt were made comfortable, did Herbert Greyson throw himself upon horseback, and ride off to the county seat to summon the authorities, and to inform Major Warfield of what had happened. No one thought of retiring to bed at Hurricane Hall that night. Mrs. Condiment, Capitola and Patty sat watching by the bedsides of the wounded.
Because they could not speak French, perhaps, these rare arrivals were mostly Turcos and Senegalese, so that when they awakened in these wards and their eyes rolled round upon the white counterpanes, the exquisite flowers and the painted ceilings, and there beheld the beauty of women bending over their bedsides women whose beauty was famous through Europe they murmured "Allahu akbar" in devout ecstasy and believed themselves in a Mohammedan paradise.
Blow your damned brains out, if you have any; blow your damned brains out, and let's have an end of the whole disgraceful business." This referred specially to Tom's unwillingness to enter upon the study of medicine, which had been chosen for him. "I should make a better farmer," he said, bitterly, after a prolonged discussion. "I'm not the build for women's bedrooms and children's bedsides.
I might be calling him away from much more serious cases, from the bedsides of babies whose diet had been far more deadly; but I should be justified. Now the Eugenic moral basis is this; that the baby for whom we are primarily and directly responsible is the babe unborn. The one duty can conceivably be as definite as or more definite than the other.
I have had an idea, ever since you have been better, of simply planting her at your bedside, but it is only in romances that young girls are brought to the bedsides of handsome young wounded men who interest them. It is not done. What would your aunt have said to it? You were nude three quarters of the time, my good fellow.
