I was just a girl in the village school, when, one day, your grandmother came in to ask the mistress if there was any scholar there who would do for a nurse-maid; and mighty proud I was, I can tell ye, when the mistress called me up, and spoke of me being a good girl at my needle, and a steady, honest girl, and one whose parents were very respectable, though they might be poor.
Hanmer, will you be that friend?" "You are choosing a rough sort of nurse-maid." "But will you?" She faced him, wonderful in the moonlight. His eyes dropped. His voice stammered, "I I will do my best, Miss Josselin." She held out a hand. He took it perforce in his rope-roughened paw, held it awkwardly for a moment, and released it as one lets a bird escape. Ruth smiled.
While German critics were deliberating as to what grouping of characteristics could best express Bettina as a type, the American public had already discovered in her a rare personality the recipient and custodian of Frau Rat's fondest memories of Goethe's childhood; the "mythological nurse-maid," to whom, though in her proper name as well as to her first-born son, successive editions of Grimm's Fairy Tales had been dedicated; the youthful friend of Beethoven, from whom she had received treasured confidences as to the influence exerted by Goethe's verse upon his mind and art; at times the haunting Muse of Germany's greatest poet and, since 1811, the wife of the most chivalrous of German poets, Achim von Arnim.
I greatly prefer to let people take care of their own affairs; but I feel bound to say to you that after Ida Mayberry neglected her duty to go off with you, I determined to advise Mrs. Cristie to dispense with the services of such a very untrustworthy nurse-maid." Lanigan Beam sprang to his feet. "Don't you do that!" he cried. "I beg of you not to do that." "Why not?" said Lodloe.
"It would be Nature! 'Blessings on thee, little man!" "That's all very well. But I want Cedric to have curls " "Curls!" he cried. "And then a Fauntleroy suit, I suppose!" "No at least not while we're poor. But I want him to look decent " "If you have curls, then you'll want a nurse-maid to brush them!" "Nonsense, Thyrsis! Can't a mother take care of her child's own hair?"
Cristie's nurse-maid were sitting on a bench under the trees, reading out of the same book, while Mr. Tippengray was pushing the baby-carriage up and down on the grass, and Mrs. Cristie and Mr. Lodloe were putting up the lawn-tennis net. "I could see for myself," Mrs.
The nurse-maid was perfectly willing to go in the village cart, and was not at all afraid of horses, and Walter Lodloe had no objection to sit on the back seat of the wagon with his lady-love, and help take care of the baby.
A few times in her life so few that she could tell them off on her pink fingers she had been taken to the theater, Jane accompanying her by right of nurse-maid, Miss Royle by her superior right as judge of all matters that partook of entertainment; Thomas coming also, though apparently for no reason whatever, to grace a rear seat along with the chauffeur.
Their mother is a farmer's wife and is at work at home. They have no nurse-maid to take them, and they don't need one. They know their way, and all the woods and fields and hills. Catherine can tell the time by looking at the sun, and she has guessed all sorts of pretty secrets of Nature that town-bred children have no suspicion of.
Already her mind was busy with arrangements for the baby's comfort and making plans for her future the blue-room looking into the garden for the nursery, and the blacksmith's eldest daughter for a nurse-maid, and some little white frocks and pinafores made; and what should she be called? Some simple name would do. Mary, perhaps. And then suddenly Mrs Vallance checked herself.
