The End
“Tell me what to get and I will get it.”
“Then get that picture — that — the
girl in white.”
“Now tell me where you wish that I should set it.”
“Lean it where I can see it — in the
light.”
“If there is more, sir, you have but to say it.”
“Then bring those letters — those
which lie apart.”
“Here is the packet! Tell me where to lay it.”
“Stoop over, nurse, and lay it on
my heart.”
“Thanks for your silence, nurse! You understand me!
And now I’ll try to manage for
myself.
But, as you go, I’ll trouble you to hand me
The small blue bottle there upon the
shelf.
“And so farewell! I feel that I am keeping
The sunlight from you; may your
walk be bright!
When you return I may perchance be sleeping,
So, ere you go, one hand-clasp
and good night!”
