"I know her well," said the female, who was none other than the Bible-nurse who visited the sick of that district; "if you have not arrested her for for " "Oh no, madam," interrupted Giles, "I have not arrested her at all, but she seems to be unwell, and I was merely assisting her." "Oh! then give her over to me, please. I know where she lives, and will take care of her."
"Somebody cares a little, don't you think?" she whispered, when the starving woman made a brief pause for breath. "Yes, thank God," answered Mrs Frog, returning to the meal as though she feared that some one might still snatch it from her thin lips before she got it all down. When it was finished the Bible-nurse led Mrs Frog into another room. "You feel better stronger?" she asked.
The door happened to be open, and the figure of a man with white hair and a kind face was seen within. Entering, the Bible-nurse whispered to this man. Another moment and Mrs Frog was seated at a long deal table with a comfortable fire at her back, a basin of warm soup, and a lump of loaf bread before her. The Bible-nurse sat by and looked on.
She and her mother had received some food from one who cared for them, through the Bible-nurse. "Mother, you've been drinkin' again," said Hetty, looking earnestly at her parent's eyes. "Well, dear," pleaded Mrs Frog, "what could I do? You had all forsaken me, and I had nothin' else to comfort me." "Oh! mother, darling mother," cried Hetty, "do promise me that you will give it up.
You know why I have sent for you?" "Yes, Mrs Twitter. It it is very kind. Our Bible-nurse told me, and I shall be so happy to come, because but I fear I have interrupted you. I I can easily come back " "No interruption at all, my dear. Here, take this cup of tea " "And a crumpet," added Mrs Larrabel, who sympathised with the spirit of hospitality.
"He's in prison, and Bobby's gone to the bad," said Mrs Frog, still in a tone of sulky defiance. "I see no sign of food," said the Bible-nurse, glancing quickly round; "are you hungry?" "Hungry!" exclaimed the woman fiercely, "I've tasted nothin' at all since yesterday." "Poor thing!" said the Bible-nurse in a low tone; "come come with me. I don't say more.
