I never shall forgit it, for I was hankerin' after baby, and dreadful worried about the others, all bein' croupy, and Florindy with no more idee of nussin' than a baa lamb. The rain come down like a reg'lar deluge, but I didn't seem to have no ark to run to.
But Hetty never minded it, I could see, though she's been at the nussin' o' the child ever since it was a babby. It's my belief her heart's as hard as a pebble." "Nay, nay," said Mr. Poyser, "thee mustn't judge Hetty too hard. Them young gells are like the unripe grain; they'll make good meal by and by, but they're squashy as yet.
Snow she's a a sort of relation of Jerry's" just a suspicion of a smile accompanied this assertion "and she's done consid'rable nussin' in her time. I've been talkin' the thing over with her and she's willin' to look out for John till he gits better." The physician adjusted his eyeglasses and looked the volunteer nurse over keenly.
I know how to do that, for I have done a lot of nussin' in my life. And then it seemed nat'ral to ask her to put out her tongue, and when she did it I gave a look at it and nodded my head. `Do you think it is her brain? said the old woman, half whisperin'. `Can't say anything about that yit, said I. `I must go down-stairs and get the medicine-case.
"Good!" said a voice from some quarter, and Mrs. Hamilton continued: "I have sent for you to give you twenty-four hours' warning to leave this house." "I shan't budge an inch until marster says so," said Polly. "Wonder who's the best title deed here? Warn't I here long afore you come a nussin' t'other one?" And Polly went back to the kitchen, secretly fearing that Mr.
Miss Liz had offered to do this, and so had Jane and Ann, but the old woman indignantly waved them aside. "What d' you-all know 'bout nussin'?" she had asked, with a fine degree of scorn. But the true reason was that Bip loved Mesmie, and this gave Mesmie a claim upon Aunt Timmie's love. Uncle Zack was sitting, shortly after noon a week later, on the door step of Bradford's cottage.
"I s'pose you ain't heard what's happened to Johnnie?" Mary rose, a hand upon her chair. "No! no! He don't want no nussin'. You set down. I can't talk so ready to jump an' run. My! how good that tea does smell!" Mary brought a cup, and placed it at her hand, with the deft manner of those who have learned to serve. Mattie sugared it, and tasted, and sugared again.
When she had about finished a story about how one of the slave women, "bust de skull" of the head of her marster," 'cause she was nussin a sick baby an' he tell her she got to git out in dat field an hoe" and the gory details of what the shovel did to the white marster's head, it was time for the visitors to close the interview.
It wuz giv to me by a black feller who's a nussin' in the little hospital. A young man guv it to him last night, and promised to give him his gold watch ef he'd find you out and git it to yer." "Hospital young man gold watch!" ejaculated Agnes in a disjointed way, as she took the letter.
She had seen better days herself, and knew what it was never to want for anything. One of her cousins merried a very rich old gentleman, and she had heerd that he said he lived ten year longer than if he'd staid by himself without anybody to take care of him.
