And yet he is not liberal by nature. That very day that he sent Mrs. Crampton to the Models with all those good things jellies and beef-tea and chicken and actually two bottles of port wine he was as angry as possible with Phoebe, because she had broken his medicine glass. Mrs. Crampton had orders to deduct the price of the glass from her wages.
Madame Balli had also brought several boxes of delicacies for the private kitchen of the infirmières, where fine dishes may be concocted for appetites still too weak to be tempted by ordinary hospital fare: soup extract, jellies, compotes, cocoa, preserves, etc. Mr.
