"That's the goods, Doll. A little filly like you has got to." "Honest, the way I laughed when you stuck them hothouse grapes on my hat for trimming the other night, just like they didn't cost nothing honest, the way I laughed gimme enough strength for a whole night's nursin'. Honest, I felt like in the old days before before I was married."
"I wish to God they'd continued to," said Kingsnorth wrathfully. "They beggared themselves for the people that's what they did, sir. Improvements here a road there. A quarry cut to give men work and a breakwater built to keep the sea from washing away the poor fishermen's homes. And when famine came not a penny rent asked and their women-kind feedin' and nursin' the starvin' and the sick.
"By the way," he said, "you'll niver guess who wan o' the nurses is. Who d'ee think? guess!" "I never could guess right, Flynn." "Try." "Well, little Mrs Armstrong." "Nonsense, man! Why, she's nursin' her old father in England, I s'pose." "Miss Robinson, then?" "H'm! You might as well say the Prime Minister. How d'ee s'pose the Portsmuth Institute could git along widout her?
"Did they love her, too?" Albert asked, with a smile, as she hesitated. She laughed. "Some of 'em did, I cal'late," she answered. "You see, I got most of my news about it all from Bessie Ryder, Cornelius Ryder's niece, lives up on the road to the Center; you used to know her, Albert. Bessie was nursin' in that same hospital, the one Helen was at first.
"I don't feel jest right about leavin' him, Tom," young Jim objected. "'Tain't natteral to desart a man, that way, an' we said we'd stay." "We said we'd stay to nurse him or bury him, but he's past nursin' an' he ain't quite ripe for buryin', son. He will be, by mornin'; but what difference to him whether he's layin' atop the ground or under the ground?
If you're not declarin' yoreself in, I'd advise you to keep out." Blister Haines laughed amiably with intent to conciliate. "What's the use of nursin' a grudge against the boy, Houck? He never did you any harm. S-shake hands an' call it off." "You manage yore business if you've got any. I'll run mine," retorted Houck. To Bob he said meaningly as he turned away, "One o' these days, young fellow."
All they need is mother's cookin' and mother's nursin' to bring 'em right out. And I want to go home, too. The army is demoralizin' me. I guess I'm gittin' old, and 'm not as strong to resist sin and the suggestions of sin as I once was. I'm gittin' scared of myself down here." "It's pretty hard work getting back now," said the General. "Do you think you can do it, if I give you leave?" "O, yes.
"Who's playin'? Where's Brandt?" "I can make out Legget; see his shaggy head. The other must be Case. Brandt ain't in sight. Nursin' a hurt perhaps. Ah! See thar! Over under the big tree as stands dark-like agin the thicket. Thet's an Injun, an' he looks too quiet an' keen to suit me. We'll have a care of him." "Must be playin' fer Mordaunt's gold."
And that is why," sez he, "that wimmen have all through the ages been allowed to do most all the hard work in the church such as raisin' money for church work earnin' money in all sorts of ways to carry on the different kinds of charity work connected with it teachin' the children, nursin' the sick, carryin' on hospital work, etc., etc.

But Charley's noane on his death-bed, he's a deal better; an' mother says as he's to be moved up here next week for nursin' and better air nor he gets i' t' town yonder. 'Oh! I am so glad, said Sylvia, with all her heart.
