1 Indeed, Mrs Harville and I quite agree that we love her the better for having nursed her.
2 And she," said Mrs Smith, "besides nursing me most admirably, has really proved an invaluable acquaintance.
3 A scheme, worthy of Mrs Wallis's understanding, by all accounts; but my sensible nurse Rooke sees the absurdity of it.
