Why should our dearest hopes, in the hour of their greatest peril, be committed into the hands of Sairey Gamps, when the world has seen Florence Nightingales?" "Yes, indeed," said my wife; "I can testify, from my own experience, that the sufferings and dangers of the sickbed, for the want of intelligent, educated nursing, have been dreadful.
"Yes, 'm; dat she did! Dis one 's name was Sairey." He folded his hands and waited, the picture of repose and contentment. "Oh, yes. So; true. I 'd forgotten that 'Mandy left you. But I thought the new one was named Susan!" observed Mrs. Meriwether. "No, 'm; not de newes' one. Susan I had her las' Christmas; but she would n' stay wid me.
Very different were the recollections interchanged between two middle-aged Portchester women. "She was drinking tea at my house when her sister Sairey came running in with the news that the baby she had left at home wasn't quite right. That was her first child, you know."
He owned a little patch of ground and a dilapidated house. His wife had died recently, and all the village knew of his two chronic complaints. The first was that "Sairey had died leaving a sight less money than he had expected," and old Dobbins had wondered if the lawyers or the speculators had got it. The second was that the old man had got nervous and lonely living in the isolated spot.
She sat down at the piano, rattled a prelude, and gave forth an echo of the music-halls: 'It's all up with poor Tommy now. I shall never more be happy, I vow. It's just a week to-day Since my Sairey went away, And it's all up with poor Tommy now. Mrs. Middlemist, who prided herself upon serious vocal powers, remarked that comic singing should be confined to men.
"You get them so quickly, you see, you can't expect one to remember them," said Mrs. Meriwether, frigidly. She meant to impress Jabez; but Jabez remained serene. "Yes, 'm; dat 's so," said he, cheerfully. "I kin hardly remember 'em myself." "No, I suppose not." His mistress grew severe. "Well, how 's Sarah?" "Well, m'm, I could n' exactly say Sairey she 's done lef me yes, 'm."
But I was telling you of the night when she first heard he was ailing. Philemon had been telling a good story, and we were all laughing, when Sairey came in. I can see Agatha now. She always had the most brilliant eyes in the county, but that day they were superbly dazzling.
Sairey Gamp Bottle on the chimney-piece, and let me put my lips to it, when I am so dispoged! fell into one of the walking swoons; in which pitiable state she was conducted forth by Mr Sweedlepipe, who, between his two patients, the swooning Mrs Gamp and the revolving Bailey, had enough to do, poor fellow.
All are equal, my friends. Up an' down the fields they goes, all day long, arm-in-arm, Jack and Jerry, aye, and Liza an' Sairey Ann; for they have equality of the sexes, mind you! Up an' down the fields, I say, in a devil-may-care sort of way, with their sweethearts and their wives. No factory smoke, dear no! There's the rivers, with tropical plants a-shading the banks, O my!
She was al'ays runnin' off to town; an' you know a man don' want a ooman on wheels. Ef de Lawd had intended a ooman to have wheels, he 'd 'a' gi'n 'em to her, would n' he?" "Well, I suppose he would," assented Mrs. Meriwether. "And this one is Sarah? Well, how is ?" "Yes, 'm; dis one was Sairey." We just caught the past tense.
