"Nanny, are you never going to settle down and stay at home?" sighed Grandma. "Yes, ma'am," Nanny's eyes danced, "some day when a man makes me fall in love with him and there are no more new places to go to. But so long as I am heartfree and footfree, and there's one alien shore calling, I'll have the wanderlust.
Each one of them stood with its head to the wall and in each one was a child whose face showed just how far it had left the pain behind and was getting well. Diamond looked all around but he could see no Nanny. He turned to Mr. Raymond with a question in his eyes. "Well?" said Mr. Raymond. "Nanny's not here," said Diamond. "Oh, yes, she is." "I don't see her!" "I do, though. There she is."
"Well, Jack," said she, "what brings you here so early?" "Why, mother, I was desired to ask you a question last night between ourselves." "Well, why don't you ask it, since it's between ourselves?" replied she, with surprise. "Some of the people want to know if you fence now?" "Jack," said old Nanny, harshly, "who asked you that question, and how did you fall into their company?
As for Nanny, she was perfectly aware of the relation between cause and effect in the affair, and secretly chuckled over her outburst of 'sauce' as the best morning's work she had ever done.

"That's why North Wind blew you there," said Diamond. "It came of Mr. Raymond's story about Princess Daylight," returned Nanny.
"You can't see me, but I am here all the same, at the other side of the shed, looking at you through the knot hole. My name is Billy Whiskers and I come from nowhere in particular and I am bound for the same place. Now, tell me your name and the name of the people you are living with." "My name is Nanny O'Hara and I live with a family of the same name but I belong to their eldest son, Mike."
He sent at once to have the horse put to the brougham, took Diamond with him, and drove to the Children's Hospital. There he was well known to everybody, for he was not only a large subscriber, but he used to go and tell the children stories of an afternoon. One of the doctors promised to go and find Nanny, and do what could be done have her brought to the hospital, if possible.
"I feel all right," said Diamond, putting both hands to his head, as if it had been a globe he could take off and set on again. "Well, as long as you are pleased I am pleased," said Nanny. "Thank you, Nanny. Do go on with your story. I think I like dreams even better than fairy tales. But they must be nice ones, like yours, you know."
They were all very good to her, and they were all very fond of her, but at the times of family reunion Nanny was unconsciously counted out. There was no bond of blood to unite her to them, and she was left on the fringe of things. Nanny never resented this it was all a matter of course to her; but on this Christmas Eve her heart was broken because she thought that nobody remembered Miss Avis.
