She's ben sick three weeks; and if you believe me that child has worked, and kep' the run of the med'cin, and the times of giving it, and sot up nights and nussed her, and tried to keep up her sperits, the same as a grown-up person.
An' there ain't no blime laid on Godamighty." An' me, I'd nussed the child an' I clawed me 'air sime as if I was 'is mother an' I screamed out, 'Then damn 'im! An' the curick 'e dropped sittin' down on the curbstone an' 'id 'is fice in 'is 'ands." Dart hid his own face after the manner of the wretched curate. "No wonder," he groaned. His blood turned cold.
I see just as clear as daylight how I'd nussed up every little trouble till it growed to a big one, how I'd sp'ilt Russell's life, and made him wretched, how I'd been cross to him a great many times when I had ought to have been a comfort; and now it was like enough I shouldn't never see him again, nor baby, nor mother, nor Major. And how could I look the Lord in the face, if I did die?
Dey hit me in t'ree places, an' I fell down an' rolled inter a ditch by de roadside, kinder under de weeds like. Atter a while I sorter come ter myself an' crawled off fru de weeds ter de bushes. Nex' day I got a chance ter send word ter mammy, an' she come an' nussed me till we managed ter slip away from dar." "Poor Nimbus!" said Mollie, weeping. "You have had a hard time indeed!"
So the critter crawled! Nobody knows how he gin the strikers the slip, but he got through ter old man Byars's house. An' thar he staid till Loralindy an' the old 'oman Byars nussed him up so ez he could bear the pain o' bein' moved.
"I've fed that dog, and nussed that dog and housed him like a prince; and now he puts his tail between his legs and sells me out, he does. He's a coward! I've done with him, I am. I'd sell him for a pipeful of tobacco." He picked me up by the tail, and swung me for the men-folks to see. "Does any gentleman here want to buy a dog," he says, "to make into sausage-meat?" he says.
"Mrs. Chase, if you please," said the nurse. "I've been a widder for twenty years." "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Chase," said the sick man smiling. "When my husband was alive, I never expected to go out nursin'; but I've had come to it." "The doctor says you are a very skillful and experienced nurse." "I'd ought to be. I've nussed people in almost all sorts of diseases, from measles to smallpox.
"Now the old lady kin go happy. I always said that I had nussed Mahs William, an' of I jess could live long 'nuff to " Elaine cut in rather abruptly, I thought. "Why, Mammy, what a beautiful vine you have on your stoop!" "What's stoop, honey? Dat's a poach." Mammy lived some years longer, aging comfortably, and unvexed by any question of fractions.
"I hoped to die befo' the day a gemman'd own er trottah, Jinny. On'y runnin' hosses is fit fo' gemmen." "Ned," said Virginia, "I shall be eighteen in two weeks and a young lady. On that day you must call me Miss Jinny." Ned's face showed both astonishment and inquiry. "Jinny, ain't I nussed you always?
For to have the name "Snuffey" brought forward it is what the heart can forgive, but never forget in this valley of the shaddock. I have nussed a many lunacies, Betsy, and in a general way am dispoged to humour them rather than set them right up agin the fire when fractious.
