This unexpected inquiry put me into such a difficulty that I began saying in the absurdest way that if there had been any such person I had no doubt she would have been quite well and would have been very much obliged and would have sent her compliments, when the nurse came to my rescue. "Well!" she cried, picking up the pocket-handkerchief, "if that don't make seven times!
He clasped his head with both hands, and tried to remember; but it was startling to find that there was a wet bandage round it, and inside it there was a dull throbbing ache, so he soon gave up trying and lay quietly with his eyes fixed on Nurse, and the funny shadow she made on the wall.
But I can get you a loaf of bread at the five and ten cent store, I dare say." "Do, please," asked the muskrat lady. "And if you see a cocoanut tree you might bring home a cocoanut cake for supper." "Oh, my!" laughed the rabbit gentleman. "I'm afraid there are no cocoanut trees in my woods. I could bring you home a hickory nut cake, perhaps." "Well, whatever you like," spoke Nurse Jane.
Kingsmill, to be sure, was no nurse of Toryism; the robust employers of labour who sent their sons to Whitelaw either to complete a training deemed sufficient for an active career, or by way of transition-stage between school and university were for the most part avowed Radicals, in theory scornful of privilege, practically supporters of that mode of freedom which regards life as a remorseless conflict.
"He were out when I got there, and he never came home while I stopped." "Thou'st never left Mrs. Wilson alone wi' poor Alice?" asked Job hastily. "No, no," said Margaret.

The nurse begged her in a whisper to leave the General. "He won't know." But when Jean moved, that poor left hand tightened on hers and she shook her head.

Emma, the oldest girl, is down in the darkness at the road to meet the beloved nurse and help her dismount. She holds the lantern while the saddle-bags are swung off and old "Bess" is blanketed and tethered. As she enters the cabin Miss M goes immediately to the bed, and holding the lantern for light, examines her little patient and finds a bad case of pneumonia.
She turned to the door of a room opening off the kitchen, but Theodosia, who had hardly heard her, was before her. She was inside the room before the nurse could prevent her.
