I just I just can't bear to see him to see him " The Staff Doctor picked up the clean towel, which belonged on the Nurse's left arm, and dried her eyes for her; then he sighed. "None of us likes to see it, girl," he said. "I'm an old man, and I've never got used to it. What do they send you to eat?" "The food's all right," she said rather drearily. "I'm not hungry that's all.
I took one lingerin' last look and felt proud of myself when I saw the hump in the pack made by my bag of beans. "'That-like flummery food's no kind of diet to be trackin' up pay-rock on, I says to kind of cheer myself. "Four weeks later I struck it. And six weeks after that I had things in shape so't I was able to leave.
"We're a big family, Jack; and the extra children's allowance was dropped last week. There's eight of us, and food's scarce. Little Annie's going fast, I think. The doctor came this morning, and said she wanted strengthening food. He might as well ha' ordered her a coach-and-four. Baby died last week, and mother's ailing. You were right, Jack; what fools we were to strike!
"I don't know why you stay anyhow," she said, staring into the yard where Jinx was burying a bone in the heliotrope bed. "The food's awful. I'm used to it, but you're not." "You don't eat anything, Edith." "I'm not hungry. Willy, I wish you'd go away. What right we got to tie you up with us, anyhow? We're a poor lot. You're not comfortable and you know it. D'you know where she is now?"
Well, one thing: the food's raw, so nothing can get cold anyway." The Doctor examined the baby and found at once that it was thoroughly chilled. "Fire FIRE! That's what it needs," he said turning to Long Arrow "That's what you all need. This child will have pneumonia if it isn't kept warm." "Aye, truly. But how to make a fire," said Long Arrow "where to get it: that is the difficulty.
Well, it's better than the mop Pete swabs up the floors with. If you'd said that, I'd sure have gone straight off into a trance, and and got buried alive. But your appetite's awful, Kate, and I can't sit here forever. I'd say food's mighty important, but it's nothing beside a man waiting for you somewhere, and you don't know where. Guess I'll have something to eat before I go to bed.
"We don't see much of the farmer himself; he's pretty nearly always out, or sleeping after a night on the loose. But he's nice enough in other ways; and it's a house where they feed you properly." "Well, there are places where the food's worse," said Kalle, "but there can't be many. Most of them, certainly, are better." "Are they really?" asked Lasse, in surprise.
And he can treat us like the others in the hamlet or I don't know where the food's to come from." But the inn-keeper thought differently. However often the children came in with basket and list, they returned empty-handed. "He seems to think there's still something to get out of us," said Lars Peter. It was a sad lookout.
And how many of us are going to wash our hands before supper or bensh afterwards, I should like to know. Why, it's as much as can be expected if the food's kosher, and there's no ham sandwiches on the dishes. Lord! how my old dad, God rest his soul, would have been horrified by such a party as this!"
The old gentleman couldn't see that there was anything specially pleasant in making long flights. "When I travel, it's generally because I'm hungry," he said. "It's because I'd starve if I stood still. And in winter I have to step lively, I can tell you. Food's scarce then, for us crows.
