Girl in the News Page #4

Oh, that came through over there,

that's all.

You'll find it very quiet here, just

my wife and myself and the staff.

- But I take it you won't mind that?

- No, not at all.

Your duties won't be very heavy,

just to wheel me about the garden and

laugh at my jokes.

Judith! Oh, you'll have to give me

my medicine.

It doesn't do me any good at all but

it's a very pretty colour.

- Well, how's that all sound to you, hm?

- Too good to be true!

Ah, now that's only one side of the

picture, though.

Sometimes I'm rather out of sorts, then

I'm apt to blast about a bit.

Judith!

Tell you the truth, when I get like that

I'm rather terrifying.

- That scare you at all?

- I don't think so.

I've had quite a lot to do with

violent patients.

- Did you call me, darling?

- Yes dear, here's Nurse Lovell

- Oh, how do you do?

- This is my wife.

I've just been giving Nurse Lovell all

my references.

- Are they satisfactory?

- Yes, very.

- We're going to get on famously,I think

- Splendid!

I suppose I must write to your last

employer.

I'm afraid my last employer died.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

It does happen to some people.

But you needn't worry my dear, it's not

going to happen to me.

My wife's trying to be businesslike,

Miss Lovell.

- She's really completely muddle-headed!

- That's libellous, Edward!

I'm not interested in references!

Your last three selections had wonderful

ones

- they might have written themselves!

- They probably did!

- Can we take it as settled, then?

- Yes, yes.

- Can you possibly start on Monday?

- Yes, I think so.

Good. I'm looking forward to being

pampered.

- Tracy!

- Yes, Madam?

This is Nurse Lovell. She'll be joining

us on Monday.

Very well, Madam.

You may have to get the 9:30 train from

Waterloo, I'll send a car to meet you

at Dorford station

Thank you, Mrs Bentley.

I says to Nurse Lovell, I says, 'Now this

war's started you'll be going off

nursing soldiers!'

And what did she say?

She said 'Maybe I will one day'

I'd go like a shot if I was in her shoes

I can tell you!

I'd make quite a good nurse, tucking

them in at night!

You'd tuck them in, all right!

And what did he say?

Nothing, just pulled a face as long as

your arm, and then she said, simple,

'But I'd rather be here with you' and

he smiled, happy.

I must say it's made a difference to him

her being here.

He hasn't sent his fish back once in

three months!

- And you know what it was before!

- Terrible!

- Good morning!

- Good morning!

- Hello, nurse!

- Time for his medicine?

Yes. I'm driving into the town before

lunch, does anybody want anything?

I could do with a new lipstick if you're

passing Woolworths!

Remarkable how quick it goes now the
