The young girl leaned on her nurse's arm, and walked unsteadily. Their worldly possessions, besides the clothes they wore, consisted of a piece of Castile soap, a comb, and Pina's work-case. The Nuncio departed amidst a tremendous clatter of hoofs and rumbling of wheels, after being accompanied to his coach by the Legate of Ferrara himself.
"Does further action depend in any way on me?" asked Edmund at last, without, however, offering the explanation the other wanted. "No," said Murray quite civilly, but his manner was dry. "I don't see that it does. I think we can get on for the present." As he spoke the door opened, and the parlourmaid showed in a tall, handsome woman in a nurse's dress. Murray looked from her to Sir Edmund.
For all her nurse's experience, Ellen Harriott was not a woman of the world. Except for the period of her hospital training, she had passed all her life shut up among the mountains. Her dream-world was mostly constructed out of high-class novels, and she united a shrewd wit and a clever brain to a dense ignorance of the real world, that left her like a ship without a rudder.
She had quite forgotten Nurse's warning, when she came suddenly upon a figure crouched in her path, and gazing at her with large, black eyes. Her fat cheeks turned pale, and with a cry of, "It's Bogy!" she let down the whole contents of her dress into one of Jan's leaf- pictures. "Don't hurt me! Don't take me away! Please, please don't!" she cried, dancing wildly. "I won't hurt you, Miss.
At the same moment, I heard a noise, as of struggling, in the bedroom, and the nurse's voice in eager remonstrance.

In an instant, without thought of consequences, the child darted to the nursery door and down the broad oak staircase. "Poor pussy, I will run and fetch her in.
She crossed the room, and placed her hand affectionately upon Frau Brandt's shoulder. "My dearest old Nurse! Do not distress yourself. This is not yet a question of actuality. Let us not cry before we are hurt." And she stooped, and kissed her nurse's brown old brow.
Miss Langdale said nothing, but it was plainly evident that she objected strongly to the strain on her patient's strength. "That will be sufficient," nodded Craig, noticing the nurse. "Thank you very much. I think you had better let Mrs. Wardlaw rest in her own room." On the nurse's arm Mrs. Wardlaw withdrew and I looked inquiringly from Kennedy to Doctor Leslie.
Adoree cried, in a stricken voice. "How could you at this time?" "You said she wanted me. I couldn't take time " "Yes! She has been calling for you, but I'm sorry I found you." A silent-footed figure in a nurse's uniform emerged from the dining-room, and her first expression of relief at sight of Bob changed swiftly to a stare of startled wonderment.
In 1885 he was joined in Venice by his son. It was 'Penini's' first return to the country of his birth, his first experience of the city which he had only visited in his nurse's arms; and his delight in it was so great that the plan shaped itself in his father's mind of buying a house there, which should serve as 'pied-a-terre' for the family, but more especially as a home for him.
