She felt a little jealous of the comely, young wet-nurse, a little desirous to be more intimately acquainted with this small, new Richard Calmady, on whom all her hopes for the future were set. But immediately she was very submissive to the restrictions laid by Denny and the doctor upon her intercourse with the child. She only stood on the threshold of motherhood as yet.
God guard you and your child, and all our house. Your most faithful v.B. It is better not to leave the doors all open constantly, for the child often gets shock from the draught, when one is opened, before you can prevent it. My Love, I sent you a letter this morning, and have just received yours, in reply to which I will add a few more words touching the wet-nurse.
"I should like to see her try it. You don't know me. You don't know Lulu. I am her master, I tell you. She can't call her soul her own." "And yet," said Krafft, unmoved, "it's a fact all the same." Schilsky applied a pair of curling tongs to his hair, at such a degree of heat that a lock frizzled, and came off in his hand. His anger redoubled. "Is it my fault that she acts like a wet-nurse?
"Yes, but unless I please you in every department there is no happiness for me." "But you know you please me in everything; and the more I look into anything, the wiser I always think you. You have chosen the best wet-nurse possible. Send her to me." Lady Bassett hesitated. "You will be kind to her. You know the consequence if anything happens to make her fret. Baby will suffer for it."
And the Child is so froward and peevish, that the Nurse is ready to run away from it; nay, though she dandle and play with it alwaies till past midnight, it is but washing the Black-a-more; in so much that a Wet-Nurse must be sought for, or away goes the Child to Limbo.
This girl, as buxom as a wet-nurse, looked as if she would burst the blue cotton check in which she clothed her person. Her florid face might have been hewn out of stone, so hard were its tawny outlines. Of course no attention was paid to the advent in the house of this girl, whose name was Agathe an ordinary, wide-awake specimen, such as is daily imported from the provinces.
Neither the wet-nurse nor the head nurse were there; they were in the next room, from which came the sound of their conversation in the queer French which was their only means of communication.
Donna Marianna wept and prayed incessantly, and it was long before the baby could snatch a smile from her. As for the Countess Faustina, she went among us like one of the statues in the garden. The child had a wet-nurse from the village, and it was small wonder there was no milk for it in that marble breast.
In a severe case of thrush, where the complaint has been brought on by artificial feeding the babe not having the advantage of the mother's milk it is really surprising how rapidly a wet-nurse if the case has not been too long deferred will effect a cure, where all other means have been tried and have failed. The effect has been truly magical!
And in her simple words there seemed to Alexey Alexandrovitch an allusion to his position. The baby screamed louder than ever, struggling and sobbing. The nurse, with a gesture of despair, went to it, took it from the wet-nurse's arms, and began walking up and down, rocking it. "You must ask the doctor to examine the wet-nurse," said Alexey Alexandrovitch.
