In spite of her gay assurance before the House Surgeon, however, it was rather a sober nurse in charge of Ward C who sat down that afternoon with a book of faery-tales on her knee open to the story of "The Steadfast Tin Soldier."
"Then all I have to say is that I consider it an extremely idiotic performance which had better be stopped. Children should not be indulged." And he went away muttering something about the poor always remaining poor with their foolish notions of throwing away money; and Margaret MacLean went back to the book of faery-tales.
"Look here," and the House Surgeon reached across the desk and took a firm, big-brother grip of her hands, "faery-tales have to have stepmothers as well as godmothers think of it that way. And remember that those kiddies of yours were never born to ride in pumpkin coaches." "But I'm not reaching out for faery luxuries for them.
In another moment he was standing beside her chair, looking at the book on her knee. "Humph! faery-tales! Is that not very foolish? Don't you think, Miss Margaret, it would be more suitable to their condition in life if you should select hmm something like Pilgrim's Progress or Lives of the Saints and Martyrs? Something that would be a preparation so to speak for the future."
