Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What Happened to Mary: A Novelization From the Play and the Stories Appearing in the Ladies´ World The nursery was silent. Its crisp chintz curtains hung motionless, a nurse slipped about noiselessly on rubber heels; and the rest of the house was as quiet. Suddenly the pink girl baby stirred in her fleecy blue bassinet and puckered her flower-like face in a cry. There was no mother to answer. The nurse went quickly to warm a bottle of milk. A newspaper rustled to the floor of an adjoining room and eager steps hurried to the nursery. An elderly man, his frame but the shell of its former fullness, entered; weak, faded blue eyes agleam as he approached the baby´s basket and reached out a wrinkled, quivering white hand soothingly toward the distressed bit of humanity. There was motherliness in his manner and a quick sense of anxiety which seemed to pervade the whole empty house. The nurse returned with a tiny bottle in a silk crocheted case. She smilingly took the baby, cuddled her close, and touched the puckered lips with the rubber nipple. There was instant quiet.
