I have sold the goodwill of my round to Joseph Petowski, and have transferred to him all my customers." Some of the recreant brotherhood, remorsefully admiring, cheered him up by appearing on the platform of the station to wish him God-speed. "Next year in Jerusalem!" he prophesied for them, too, recouping himself for the poulterer's profane scepticism.
She opened it rather shakily, and it was a leaf from the ward order-book, for at the top it said: Annie Petowski may sit up for one hour. And below that: Goldstein baby bran baths. And below that: I love you. "E.J." was the Junior Medical.
Then Annie Petowski or Jennie Goldstein or Maggie McNamara would watch the Nurse with open hostility and defiance, and her rustling exit from the ward would be followed by swift cessation of cries, and, close to Annie or Jennie or Maggie's heart, there would be small ecstatic gurglings and peace.

"Perhaps if I could find I think I'll go to the telephone. Watch the ward carefully, Elizabeth, and if Annie Petowski tries to feed her baby before three o'clock, take it from her.
And the Nurse would look severe and say: "Good gracious, Annie Petowski, surely you don't want to feed that infant again! Do you want the child to have a dilated stomach?" Fear of that horrible and mysterious condition, a dilated stomach, would restrain Annie Petowski or Jennie Goldstein or Maggie McNamara for a time.
