"Nothing!" ejaculated Robert. "Leave the baby with Thirza; we'll take care of it, and when Nollie's fit, let her go back to work in a hospital again. She'll soon get over it." He saw his brother shake his head, and thought: 'Ah! yes; now there's going to be some d d conscientious complication.
She had me taken upstairs to her room. She asked if I was your servant, and when I said yes, she told me that she hoped I would take great care of you. I said that was my duty. "'Nevertheless, do more than your duty, she said. 'His life is a very precious one to us. "'Is it not, Thirza? "The young lady nodded. "'Here are five gold crowns for yourself, she went on, handing me the money.
She was like a painting of "Goodness" by an Old Master, restored by Kate Greenaway. She never went to meet life, but when it came, made the best of it. This was her secret, and Pierson always felt rested in her presence. He rose, and moved by her side, over the lawn, towards the big tree at the bottom of the garden. "How d'you think Noel is looking, Edward?" "Very pretty. That young man, Thirza?"
If I were to report myself this evening as convalescent, I can join him tomorrow, if I find that he is but a march away." "I will take you in my carriage, as before," the count said. "I can get back here before dark." Two hours later they started, Thirza consoled to some extent by the assurance that, in all probability, Fergus would be back again in the course of two or three days.

I feel perfectly wretched, Thirza; wretched beyond words." But with each repetition his voice grew cheerier, and Thirza felt that he was already over the worst. "Your coffee's getting cold!" she said. "What do you advise?
"I was thinking," the count said, "that you will want to take a nurse with you." "Do you mean, count," Fergus exclaimed eagerly, "that Thirza could go with me? That would be happiness, indeed." "I don't quite see why she should not, Drummond. There are churches here, and clergymen. "What do you say, Thirza?"
That rough market-basket over which the Careys' former servants had grumbled, was like a badge of honour in certain shining eyes far more so than Thirza Dyer's thoroughbred, or Camilla and Gussy Dyer's exquisite hats and dainty parasols. Even Annie Millar was not too old or too wise to refrain from wishing that Mrs.
Invalids want a cheerful face and, unless you brighten up, I shall not intrust any of the nursing duties to you." Thirza tried to smile, but the attempt was a very forced one. "It has been a surprise," she said quietly, but with an evident effort. "You see, I have always seen Colonel Drummond looking so strong and bright.
"Whether or not, Countess Thirza, it is a matter that will certainly trouble me very little. However, I begin to think that I shall not always be a soldier. Certainly, I should not leave the army as long as this war goes on; but I have seen such terrible fighting, such tremendous carnage, that I think that at the end of it, if I come out at the end, I shall be glad to take to a peaceful life.
Robinson; Miss Jane Sawyer knitted a blanket and some shirts; Thirza Meserve, though too young for an aunt, coaxed from her mother some dresses and nightgowns, and was presented with a green paper certificate allowing her to wheel Jacky up and down the road for an hour under the superintendence of a full Aunt.
