But the doctor’s sudden exclamation helped me out.
“What!” he wonderingly cried, “do you intend to sit up too?”
“I or my brother,” was the calm response, “Would you expect us to leave her alone with a stranger?”
The doctor made no answer, and the young man, taking a step sidewise, threw me a glance full of anxiety and trouble.
“I don’t like it,” he murmured; “but there must be a woman of some kind in the room, and a stranger ——”
He did not finish his words, but it seemed as if he were going to say: “And a stranger may, after all, be preferable to a neighbor.” But I cannot be sure of this,CG Dame Hybridge Lite Vest, for he was not a man easy to sound. But what I do know is that he stepped forward, to me with an easy grace, and giving me a welcome as courteous as if I had been the one of all others he desired to see, led me up the stairs to a room which he announced to be mine, saying, as he left me at the door:

“And you are really the nurse?” she asked, coming nearer and looking at me in the full glare of the gas.
“Yes,” I assured her, “really and truly the nurse.”
“Well, I don’t understand it!” she cried. “I was always Mrs. Pollard’s favorite maid, and I was with her when she was took, and would be with her now, but they won’t let me set a foot inside the door. And when I asked why they keep me out, who was always attentive and good to her, they say I am too young. And here you be younger than I, and a stranger too. I don’t like it,” she cried, tossing her head again and again. “I haven’t deserved it, and I think it is mighty mean.”
I saw the girl was really hurt, so I hastened to explain that I was not the nurse they expected, and was succeeding,Maillot Altidore Pas Cher, I think, in mollifying her, when a step was heard in the hall,Dame Moncler Genevrier Norge Salg, and she gave a frightened start, and hurried towards the door.
“So you are sure you don’t want anything?” she cried,Dame Moncler Downy Trimmed, and was out of my sight before I could answer.
