His nurse, not his ordinary one, but the state nurse-maid, an elegant and fashionable young lady of rank, whose duty it was to carry him to and from the chapel, had been so occupied in arranging her train with one hand, while she held the baby with the other, that she stumbled and let him fall, just at the foot of the marble staircase.
The little nurse-maid, a simple peasant girl, looked on in mute amazement when her mistress entered the room where the children were. "Maria," she said, "I am going home, over the seas to England. Will you come with me?" The only thing poor Dora had learned during those quiet years was a moderate share of Italian.
A Question for Physicians. Professor William James's Opinion. Hysterical Disease? Little Hands. Domestic Arson. The Wem Case. "The Saucepan began it." The Nurse-maid. Boots Fly Off. Investigation. Emma's Partial Confession. Corroborative Evidence. Question of Disease Repeated. Chinese Cases. Haunted Mrs. Chang. Mr. Niu's Female Slave. The Great Amherst Mystery. Run as a Show. Failure.
But Thyrsis answered promptly, "Yes, dear," and continued to watch. And Corydon continued to play. Apparently she knew something about babies how to amuse them and how to handle them, and had even heard rumors about how to feed them. She was asking questions of the nurse-maid, and displaying interest Thyrsis would have been no more amazed had he found her in converse with a Chaldean astrologer.
She glanced at her wrist watch and there was a shade of defiance in the very way she raised the arm that wore it. "They make a baby of me here," she told herself, "they treat me like a silly child. It's a wonder that they don't send a nurse-maid with me to my classes. It's a wonder" she was growing vehement "that they give me credit for enough sense to wear rubbers when it's raining!
"I'm not going to give her notice at all," said Rose. "I'm going to find her another place. I shan't have any trouble about it though. As you say, she's a very good nurse-maid, and she's a pleasant sort of a human being besides. But as soon as I can find her another place, I'm going to take over her work." To this last observation it became evident that Mrs. Ruston meant to make no reply at all.
In that far world "outside," George Allan would have been at an age when ringlets and a nurse-maid are just beginning to chafe a proud man's spirit; but here in the North he was already "Some Musher," and was eager to win the honors that would prove him a worthy son of the Greatest Dog Man in Alaska.
But no worry of this sort could keep her awake very long, and after a night of sound and healthful sleep she told her host and hostess, the next morning at breakfast, of the Mr. Lodloe who had kindly undertaken to bring her a nurse-maid. "Lodloe," repeated Mr. Petter. "It strikes me that I have heard the Rockmores mention that name. Is it a Germantown family?"
Ess Kay explained that I was interested in her apartment being up so high, and thought her plucky to live in it before the house was finished. This amused Mrs. Taylour very much. "We are just thankful to be in it," she said. "I was tired out with housekeeping, the servant question is too awful." "I see you've a trained nurse-maid for Rosemary," said Mrs. Ess Kay. "We met them going out."
She had been considering the subject of her nurse-maid and Lanigan Beam, and had decided that it was her duty to interfere with the growth of that intimacy. She felt that it was her duty to exercise some personal supervision over the interests of the young person in her service, and had given her some guarded advice in regard to country-resort intimacies.
