I could see the little chap, sitting here every evening by the windmill, nursing his pipe and listening to the silence; the wheeze of the pump, the grunting of the pigs, an occasional squawking when the hens were disturbed by a rat. It did rather seem to me that Cuzak had been made the instrument of Antonia's special mission.
There at least I could deal with men; and there I went, nursing rebellion yet trying my utmost to appear outwardly calm. To the clerk I offered my three signed cards by way of introduction. "And which do you select?" asked the oldish man over his rimless glasses. "None." "Ah, but you must." "But what if I refuse to do so?" "That is most unusual." "But does it ever happen?"
I can't think what Doctor Wing was doing. Apparently the child is in danger of losing her leg. Well then, if you will have everything ready, we will take her up to town tomorrow. I will order the large car from Denley's to be here at ten. Egbert, will you take a telegram at once to Doctor Jackson? It is a small nursing home for children and for surgical cases, not far from Baker Street.
"Then what are you doing here with this dog?" I says. "Don't irritate me," he answers. "I tell you I don't know myself. My wife's stopping here at Warwick, nursing her mother, and in every letter she's written home for the last fortnight she's said, 'Oh, how I do long to see Eric! If only I could see Eric for a moment!" "A very motherly sentiment," I says, "which does her credit."

Certainly, if all these schemes are rightly attributed to Tiberius Gracchus, it was he more than any man who projected the great programme of reform that the future had in store. Unfortunately for Gracchus the time was short for nursing a new constituency or spreading a new ideal.
"I've felt it odd myself," she smiled, with a whisk of her handkerchief. "But, like you, I am getting used to it." "Where's Dalzell all this time?" "Don't know. Don't care. Please don't talk of him." "Nobody else ?" "Oh, dear, no! Never will be. I am going to take up nursing or something." "YOU!" he mocked. "Do you suppose I can't?
Then, between caring for the injured in the accident, against the coming of the relief train, and nursing the sick operator through the dark moments of his dangerous illness, he passed a crisis of his own disease triumphantly; but not the last crisis. So the first and so the second and third years passed in safety. "Please, I want to go, too, Jim."
Many a time while I was nursing my baby I was thinking of what I should say next Sunday, and between times I noted down with a pencil the thoughts as they struck me.
Have I not always been a faithful wife, nursing my husband for years and never leaving his sick-bed, never thinking of anything but how to ease his pain? I have lived like a recluse from sheer sense of duty and faithful lose, while other wives, who have less means than I, live in state and go to entertainments. And whose slaves are better kept and more often freed than ours?
