me, Mrs. Robbins" Jean said sweetly
You are so motherly and nice, and I
haven't any mother Oh dear, I'm so
tired of bed Look, how strong
am . and I'm just longing for a
breath OF fresh air :"
Jean slipped unassisted from the bed,
by way of demonstrating her strength,
but sat down again quickly, before she
betrayed her weakness. Won't you
help me get dressed SO I'll be ready
to go for drive when my friend comes
for me? She is leaving the city today
and wants to take me out before she
goes. If we go right away, I can be
back in bed before Miss Lee returns
and she'll never know. Please you
understand what have to put up with

dress and helped her get into them
