Excerpt from No Friend Like a Sister You are quite right, ' returned Frances; without counting the household staff I have only quarters for Six. You will find the accommodation of the house nurses is equally comfortable. If you remember, Edith, I told you at Guy's that St. Monica's Nursing Home was to be a sort of pattern and object-lesson for other Homes. I prefer to take fewer patients and fewer nurses, and make it practically a Home.' Then a faint protesting shrug prefaced Miss Holds worth's reply. 'you are a very complex person, Frances; I have often told you so. You are intensely practical; but there is an underlying vein of romance and softness in your nature that gets the mastery sometimes. Well, ' with a little break in her voice, 'it is a beautiful Home, and a grand work, and I wish it all success.' And then the two women grasped hands in full understanding and sympathy. Sister Gresham worked with a good heart. From the first the Home was always full of patients, and she could have taken three times the number if She had had accommodation for them. Young nurses were almost piteous in their appeals to be taken in for their very soul was sick with envy at the sight of the nurses' sitting-room, with its Chesterfield couch and deep easy chairs and well-filled bookcase. Then there was the long shady garden that led to the house, and a certain corner hidden behind thick bushes, where there were hammocks swinging. 'it is just the loveliest place in the world, ' as one of these outsiders remarked.'no friend like A sister' crap. Nurse Williams says the food is so good and well cooked, and plenty of vegetables and fruit. Sister Gresham never begrudges anything to her nurses, and they think no end Of her. They say She has seven hundred a year of her own, and that She does not care whether She makes profits or not. I believe it covers its expenses, and that is about all She told Nurse Williams so. They all know that she is very anxious to start a Pension Fund for superannuated or sick nurses whose health has broken down, and it is the general belief that every penny of profit goes towards that Fund.'
