The nurse threw a signal to the doctor. "All right, old man, we must stop this chaff. Buck up and in two weeks we will let you go where you like. I have something in mind for you, but we won't speak of it to-day." The harvest was safely stored.
"You see she was a mighty good woman and you ought to know her, for she was my old nurse" The girl glanced at him with a sudden impatience. "Honest Injin," said Jack solemnly; "she did nurse me through my last cough. I ain't playing old family gags on you now." "Oh, dear," burst out the girl impulsively, "I do wish you wouldn't ever play them again.
She had some object in view, I thought, almost as abstract as his own some object to which, as I judged, she was devoting her life quite as single-mindedly as Sebastian himself had devoted his to the advancement of science. "Why did she become a nurse at all?" I asked once of her friend, Mrs. Mallet. "She has plenty of money, and seems well enough off to live without working."
I did not die, for somebody coming, gave me a strange, bitter draught; a decoction, I believe, of a bitter root which grows on commons and desolate places; and the person who gave it me was an ancient female, a kind of doctress, who had been my nurse in my infancy, and who, hearing of my state, had come to see me; so I drank the draught, and became a little better, and I continued taking draughts made from the bitter root till I manifested symptoms of convalescence.

"God! his wounds!" cried the Doctor, starting forward. As Farnsworth had feared, they had broken open and were bleeding again.
And the Nurse would look severe and say: "Good gracious, Annie Petowski, surely you don't want to feed that infant again! Do you want the child to have a dilated stomach?" Fear of that horrible and mysterious condition, a dilated stomach, would restrain Annie Petowski or Jennie Goldstein or Maggie McNamara for a time.
Bred up to the art of sculpture, he had early in life sought Rome, as the nurse of inspiration; but even then he had brought with him the dark and brooding temper of his northern tribe.
Her nurse had bragged about her to his nurse when Charity was just beginning to take notice of other than alimentary things. By that time Jim was a blase roue of five and his main interest in Charity was a desire to poke his finger into the soft spot in her head.
The vicar wanted a governess, and one of my aunts suggested me as a stop-gap, and thither I went with my little Mabel, our board and lodging being payment for my work. I became head cook, governess, and nurse, glad enough to have found "something to do" that enabled me to save my little income.
