Three months passed away in this delightful intercourse, when my aunt fell ill. I passed a whole month in her chamber nursing her, but her disease was mortal and she died, leaving me for some time inconsolable, Death is so dreadful to the living; the chains of habit are so strong even when affection does not link them that the heart must be agonized when they break.
Herm alone, with its long white spear of sand and shells, is like a sword-fish among the nursing whales. In the distance the long ridge of Sercq looks as bare and uninteresting as would the actual back of a basking whale. It is only when you come to a more intimate acquaintance that all her charms become visible.
Since the news of Miltoun's illness, and of Mrs. Noel's nursing, the little old lady had possessed her soul in patience; often, it is true, afflicted with poignant misgivings as to this new influence in the life of her favourite, affected too by a sort of jealousy, not to be admitted, even in her prayers, which, though regular enough, were perhaps somewhat formal.
The weeks which, a few years after her John's recognition, she spent with self-sacrificing devotion beside her husband's couch of pain, which was to become his deathbed, passed amid anxiety and grief, and when her affectionate, careful nursing proved vain, and Pyramus died, deep and sincere sorrow overpowered her.
A young lady who can have male friends, as well as friends of her own sex, is not usually pressing and secret in her confidences, possibly because such a young lady is not always nursing baby-passions, and does not require her sex's coddling and posseting to keep them alive.

You cannot do it, I say. No, not if you were a Talleyrand in love matters; and, so completely versed in the pathology of the "fitful fever," as to be able to diagnose it at a glance; besides nursing the patient through all the several stages of the disease watching every symptom, anticipating each change, bringing the "case," finally, to a favourable issue!
She should also be able to judge whether they are properly clothed and cared for. If possible, every girl should have some knowledge of nursing. She may not be a trained nurse, but she should have some of the knowledge and skill of the trained nurse. One of the finest of the home employments is this great work of caring for people and keeping them well.
The art of nursing, as now practised, seems to be expressly constituted to unmake what God had made disease to be, viz., a reparative process. To recur to the first objection. If we are asked, Is such or such a disease a reparative process? Can such an illness be unaccompanied with suffering? Will any care prevent such a patient from suffering this or that? I humbly say, I do not know.
Now, Ethel, you and I will show what intelligent nursing can do. 'I believe you are delighted, growled Aubrey. 'So should you be, at the valuable precedent you will afford. 'I've no notion of being experimented on to prove your theory, said Aubrey, still ready for lazy mischief. For be it known that the roving-tempered Dr.
And he, silent at her feet, stared out at the blue rim of the hills and gave her no assistance now not so much as a smile. She sat a long time, nursing one slim knee between her palms. "Mr. O'Mara," she appealed to him at last, "how might one reopen a a rather difficult subject with with a suddenly most difficult conversationalist?"
