The various social claims, which an age of progress increasingly lays upon the lady of the house in the upper classes of society, asserted themselves here in the town by an ever increasing demand for nurses. "The reason," as Dr. Schneibel explained, "was simply a law of Nature you can't be a milch-cow and an intelligent human being at the same time.
Besides she could often come out and see him, at least once a month! he could promise her that on the Veyergangs' behalf, and it was very kind of them now they lived such a long way out of town. Dr. Schneibel talked both kindly and severely, both good-naturedly and sharply: he was almost like a father.
The renovation of blood and nerves must be artificially conveyed from that class of society which stands nearer to Nature." And now the thing was to find an extra-healthy, thoroughly strong nurse for Consul-General Veyergang's two delicate, newly-arrived, little ones. Dr. Schneibel had very thoughtfully kept a nurse in reserve for Mrs.
Schneibel was standing for the third time at the tinsmith's, with his stick under his nose, while his gig waited down in the road. Each time he had added to both wages and arguments, and had again and again pointed out how bad it would be both for her and her boy if she continued so obstinate. He appealed to her own good sense.
