Стр. 68 - One of the nuns or a lady received them, and saw they were signed and countersigned before serving. We used, among ourselves, to call this kitchen the tower of Babel. In the middle of the day everything and everybody seemed to be there : boxes, parcels, bundles of sheets, shirts, and old linen and flannels, tubs of butter, sugar, bread, kettles, saucepans, heaps of books, and of all kinds of rubbish, besides the diets which were being dispensed ; then the people, ladies, nuns, nurses, orderlies,...
Стр. 70 - It seemed an endless walk, and it was one not easily forgotten. As we slowly passed along, the silence was profound ; very seldom did a moan or cry from those deeply suffering ones fall on our ears. A dim light burned here and there. Miss Nightingale carried her lantern, which she would set down before she bent over any of the patients. I much admired her manner to the men — it was so tender and kind.
Стр. 142 - Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these, ye did it unto me ' ? Christians are those who have Christ's spirit, as I think, and sacrifice themselves to save others.

On all sides prevailed the utmost confusion; whose fault it was I cannot tell — clear heads have tried to discover in vain: probably the blame should have been shared by all the departments of the hospital.
Стр. 82 - On one occasion an assistant surgeon told us that Dr. Gumming had threatened to arrest him for having allowed a man too many extras on the diet roll. Amid all the confusion and distress of Scutari hospital, military discipline was never lost sight of, and an infringement of one of its smallest observances was worse than letting twenty men die from neglect.
Стр. 180 - Our life was a regular routine of work and rest (except on occasions of extraordinary pressure) following each other in order ; but whether in the strain of overwork, or the steady fulfilment of our arduous duty, there was one bright ray ever shed over it, one thing that made labor light and sweet, and this was the respect, affection and gratitude of the men; no words can tell it rightly, for it was unbounded, and as long as we stayed among them, it never changed. Familiar as our presence became...
Стр. 70 - ... our ears. A dim light burned here and there. Miss Nightingale carried her lantern, which she would set down before she bent over any of the patients. I much admired Miss Nightingale's manner to the men — it was so tender and kind. All the corridors were thickly lined with beds laid on low trestles raised a few inches from the ground. In the wards a divan runs round the room, and on this were laid the straw beds, and the sufferers on them. The hospital was crowded to its fullest extent. The...
Стр. 180 - No words can tell it rightly, for it was unbounded, and as long as we stayed among them.it never changed. Familiar as our presence became to them, though we were in and out of the wards day and night they never forgot the respect due to our sex and position.
Стр. 71 - ... Miss Nightingale as possible. She showed exemplary patience under this kind of opposition, and gradually won her way into the confidence of most of the doctors.2 " Miss Nightingale told us," says one of her staff, " only to attend to patients in the wards of those surgeons who wished for our services, and she charged us never to do anything for the patients without the leave of the doctors.
Стр. 68 - From this room were distributed quantities of arrowroot, sago, rice puddings, jelly, beef-tea, and lemonade, upon requisitions made by the surgeons. This caused great comings to and fro ; numbers of orderlies were waiting at the door with requisitions. One of the nuns or a lady received them, and saw they were signed and countersigned, and then served them.
