Almost tenderly the Little Girl reached up and drew the White Linen Nurse's ear close down to her own snuggling lips. "Damned nervous!" she confided laconically. Quite against all intention the White Linen Nurse giggled. Floundering to recover her dignity she plunged into a new error. "Poor little dev ," she began. "Yes," sighed the Little Girl complacently. "That's just what the Parpa calls me."
"He'll be there. And don't forget to report once a day to the Chief." "I won't." "And if anything unexpected turns up," said Carter, "and you need help, take a good look at that nurse that is passing." Jane turned curiously to inspect a buxom girl in a drab nurse's costume who was wheeling a baby carriage along the sidewalk near-by.
As soon as I saw this Coppelius, therefore, the fearful and hideous thought arose in my mind that he, and he alone, must be the Sand-man; but I no longer conceived of the Sand-man as the bugbear in the old nurse's fable, who fetched children's eyes and took them to the half-moon as food for his little ones no! but as an ugly spectre-like fiend bringing trouble and misery and ruin, both temporal and everlasting, everywhere wherever he appeared.
Then with some swift movement she lifted the shade that was over the lamp. He, too, turned his head and opened his eyes. Oh, God! there over him leant Isobel, clad in a nurse's robes yes, Isobel unless he were mad. Next moment he knew that he was not mad, for she said one word, only one, but it was enough. "Godfrey!" "Isobel!" he gasped. "Is it you?" She made no answer, at least in words.
It seems curious that he should deplore the fact that Jay had turned into a bus-conductor more deeply than he had deplored her experiments in sweated employment. I think that a uniformed sister or wife is almost unbearable to most men, except, perhaps, one in the nurse's uniform, of which even St. Paul might have approved. The gaiters of the 'bus-conductor had shaken Kew to his foundations.
"And you mustn't try to come if it isn't fine, for my aunts won't let me go out if it rains even the tiniest bit. And of course you must ask your nurse's leave." "Very well," said little Phil as he trotted off. "I'll try to remember all those things. I'm so glad you'll play with me again; and if you see the cuckoo, please thank him." "Helper.
I was rescued half drowned almost lifeless and taken to an old nurse's home, where I lay two weeks hovering between life and death. "On the very day I regained consciousness, I learned about the terrible fire that had wiped out the tenement home which I had known since my earliest childhood, and that my poor, hapless father had perished in the flames.
Aren't you going to shake hands?" Davy Junior clung tightly to the nurse's skirt, put one chubby finger into his rosebud mouth and stared, round-eyed, at the big man. "He's always that way with strangers," the nurse explained. "Oh!" David winced and stood up. "He's forgotten me, then. When he has had his walk please bring him to the house. I'd like to get acquainted with him again.
The kind little girl knew, when she saw her nurse's black dress, that her brother must be dead; and with the thoughtfulness of a true lady, remained very quiet, and did not annoy her with questions about trifling matters: she spoke low and gently to her, and tried to comfort her when she saw large tears falling on the work which she held in her hand, and kindly said, "Mrs.
Every now and then Laurie would see a pair of bright eyes peeping at him over the stair, then off would scurry a baby squirrel afraid of being caught, "for all the world," thought Laurie, "the way we do at home when we are forbidden to come down when mother is giving a party, so watch instead from a landing on the stair when nurse's back is turned."
