Nurse scowls, and says no but you intercede—poor Charley, he's only a baby himself.

Nurse hears it, and Charley is taken struggling from the room. You take your watch from under your pillow to see if husband won't be home soon, and then look at nurse, who takes a pinch of snuff over your gruel, and sits down nodding drowsily, with the ba*by in an alarming proximity to the fire.
