Ca n't get it out . Take a pick at it , will you , Nanny ? '' `` It 's in very deep , and I have n't any needle , '' said Nan , examining a tarry thumb with interest . `` Take a pin , '' said Emil , in a hurry . `` No , it 's too big and has n't got a sharp point . '' Here Daisy , who had dived into her pocket , presented a neat little housewife with four needles in it . `` You are the Posy who always has what we want , '' said Emil ; and Nan resolved to have a needle-book in her own pocket henceforth , for just such cases as this were always occurring in her practice . Daisy covered her eyes , but Nan probed and picked with a steady hand , while Emil gave directions not down in any medical work or record . `` Starboard now ! Steady , boys , steady ! Try another tack . Heave ho ! there she is ! '' `` Suck it , '' ordered the Doctor , surveying the splinter with an experienced eye . `` Too dirty , '' responded the patient , shaking his bleeding hand . `` Wait ; I 'll tie it up if you have got a handkerchief . '' `` Have n't ; take one of those rags down there . '' `` Gracious ! no , indeed ; they are doll 's clothes , '' cried Daisy , indignantly . `` Take one of mine ; I 'd like to have you , '' said Nan ; and swinging himself down , Emil caught up the first `` rag '' he saw .
It happened to be the frilled skirt ; but XXXXX tore it up without a murmur ; and when the royal petticoat was turned into a neat little bandage , she dismissed her patient with the command , `` Keep it wet , and let it alone ; then it will heal right up , and not be sore . ''
