It runs round three sides of the four rooms called a house, and is at once my day-nursery, my lumber-room, my summer-parlor, my place of exercise everything, in fact. And it is an incessant occupation to train the creepers and wage war against the legions of brilliantly-colored grasshoppers which infest and devour the honeysuckles and roses. Never was there such a place for insects!
"What have you thought of doing?" I inquired. "I don't know yet. My husband has an aunt who's interested in a day-nursery for the children of working-women. I thought I might help this, but my husband says it does no good whatever it only makes paupers of the poor. Do you think so?" "I think more than that," I replied.

Lay this young woman flat on her back on the floor, sprinkle her with water, and let her come to. I'm going to find out what she means."

"She was in the day-nursery," Nurse Pool suggests, in a whisper, and to the day-nursery they go.
Earley's slow Gloucestershire speech rumbled on in muffled obbligato to the higher, carrying, little voices.

Jan shivered, though the air from the open window was only fresh, not cold.
These joys have been reserved for their little sisters, who, sooner or later, will step into their vacant places in the box-factory. What was denied Angelina it is the blessed privilege of Angelina's baby to revel in. Angelina's baby the little baby that she kept in the day-nursery when we worked together at Springer's now goes to a free kindergarten.
