"The only thing I want to live for at all is to be with mamma," I said "to take care of her and try to make her happy. I do not want any other life than that." "But," said my nurse, and I have often thought since what sense lay in her words, "do you know, Miss Laura, that my lady, who is so clever herself, will want an educated companion?
