She consented to let a doctor, who was a friend of mine, see her, and he pronounced her disease sciatic rheumatism. He said she could never get well at home with four small, noisy children, and, besides, the walls of her house were damp.

Among the arguments that won her were my own acquaintance with the hospital nurses, and my promise ...
