Griffith should be placed in a family where there was a gentleman or lady who would have some hauthority, and could not be put aside with his good-'umoured haffability 'You're an old fogy, Peter. 'Never mind, Nursey, I'll be a good boy next time, and the like.
They starved together heroically, and Nurse Blaber was good enough to signify approval when she came to clear away. 'Nursey? Miss Henschil insinuated, and flushed. 'Do you smoke? said the nurse coolly to Conroy. 'I haven't in years. Now you mention it, I think I'd like a cigarette or something. 'I used to. D'you think it would keep me quiet? Miss Henschil said. 'Perhaps.
"Well, well, well, did it nearly fighten its pessus, pessus life out with its horrid, awful, uggy beard? Well, it never, never sall aden, never! No, nursey wouldn't let it." That's it, Jack; sit down and make the best of it. Your reign as lord and master is over and done with. Lo! Baby is king, and Mrs. Muggins is his prime minister!
Every Saturday he was away alone to the forests, fields, and hills, and always came back loaded with spoils; for he seemed to know the meadows where the best flag-root grew, the thicket where the sassafras was spiciest, the haunts where the squirrels went for nuts, the white oak whose bark was most valuable, and the little gold-thread vine that Nursey liked to cure the canker with.
"This is no place for the like of you; get out at once or I'll let Miss Hester Thornton know." "Oh, nursey, nursey, you'll kill me," exclaimed Annie in a voice choked with laughter. "Do you mean to say you don't know me?" "My sakes alive, Miss Annie Forest!" exclaimed the old woman. "Who'd have thought you'd have been up to this folly? What are you doing, masquerading like them hateful gipsies?
"O, I daresay it is nothing much. Only old nursey said yesterday she was in bed with a bad cold, or something of that sort." "We'll call and inquire as we pass, that is, if you are inclined to go with me." "How can you put an if to that, papa?" "I have just had a message from that cottage that stands all alone on the corner of Mr.
And yet, of course, you're wonderfully handsome. How d'you account for it, Nursey? Nurse Blaber shook her head. 'I was hired to cure you of a habit, dear. When you're cured I shall go on to the next case that senile-decay one at Bourne-mouth I told you about. 'And I shall be left alone with George! But suppose it isn't cured, said Miss Henschil of a sudden. Suppose it comes back again.
Let me think. What did Nursey do when I had measles? She burned some sort of paper and made it smell nice again. I must burn some paper too, else Stella'll suffocate, won't you, dear?" No sooner thought than done. Jacob had left his coat hanging near the tool-house while he went to dinner, and he always carried matches in his pipe-pocket. Lady Bird knew that.
In one or two "genteel" houses the blinds were still down; in reference to which I resolved that when I grew up I would not waste the best part of the day in bed, with the sun shining, the birds singing, the flowers opening, and country people going about their business, all beyond my closed windows. "Nurse, please, I should like always to have breakfast at six o'clock. Do you hear, Nursey?"
The stage child is affectionate to its parents and its nurse and is respectful in its demeanor toward those whom Providence has placed in authority over it; and so far it is certainly much to be preferred to the real article. It speaks of its male and female progenitors as "dear, dear papa" and "dear, dear mamma," and it refers to its nurse as "darling nursey."
