If not, it was left with the head-nurse, and when I made my own rounds it would be my guide in consulting the tastes of the patients themselves as to the kind of food they preferred and its preparation. Of all this I made notes. I made it a point to feed the very ill patients myself.
"Oh, Keziah she was moped to death, poor old woman I found her a nuisance. And then those babies of Rose's were so irresistible. I thought she'd better go. As Rose's head-nurse, I believe she is in her element." "Is Rose happy with her draper?" "I don't know I suppose so." "You don't see much of her?" "Not much." "And Mary?" "I haven't seen her for months.
And she laughed over their doings, and wept over Old Faithful's death, while Bija and Mirak sat cuddled up close beside her, listening also and enjoying the tale of their own adventures as if they had happened to other children! "Surely," she said softly when Head-nurse ended, "my dearest brother on whom be peace must have protected them! Lo!
The old slave had been appointed head-nurse to the high-born child, and acquitted herself in her new office with an amount of importance which was very comical. Hiding her old limbs under rich Persian robes, she moved about exulting in the new and delightful right to command, and kept her inferiors in perpetual motion.
They looked at each other, then at the child staggering along under the Prince's plumed turban, then at Prince Askurry himself standing bareheaded before his nephew. It was an ill omen. And yet as Head-nurse said proudly when they got back to the rooms that had been given them in a frowning bastion of the palace, Baby Akbar had once more scored off his uncle.
He bowed low to the Baron and the Head-nurse, and left the tower. "The idea of his talking as he did," said the Baron. But the nurse was pinning her shawl, and she hurried out of the tower and overtook the Pop-corn man. "How are you going to manage it?" whispered she, touching his sleeve. The Pop-corn man started. "Oh, it's you?" he said. "Well, you wait a little, and you will see.
It was all in vain! Head-nurse was firm. They must bring the tents to the Heir-to-Empire; the Heir-to-Empire should not go across a tight rope to the tents.
If she, Head-nurse, died of sunstroke what matter, but if Foster-mother failed, what even though one back tooth had been gloriously cut would become of the Heir-to-Empire, the Admired-of-the-World, the Great-in-Pomp, etc.? So, to comfort herself she went on mumbling titles as she struggled along, the sun beating fiercely on her bare head.
Howard and another lady visited a workhouse in Liverpool, and procured a newly-born child from its mother, Mary Best, a pauper, then an occupant of one of the lying-in wards of the workhouse hospital. In support of his assertion he was able to produce three witnesses Mrs. Higginson, the head-nurse, and Mrs. Stuart and Mrs.
But little Prince Akbar, half awake, protested in defence of his dear dog. "Tumbu only barks when he wants something, nurse; go and see what it is." "A likely story!" cried Head-nurse. "Well," interposed Foster-father philosophically, "some one must go if any one is to sleep."
