My grandpa was a doctor , and I saw him sew a great cut in a man 's cheek , and I held the sponge , and was n't frightened a bit , and Grandpa said I was a brave girl . '' `` How could you ? I 'm sorry for sick people , and I like to nurse them , but it makes my legs shake so I have to run away . I 'm not a brave girl , '' sighed Daisy . `` Well , you can be my nurse , and cuddle my patients when I have given them the physic and cut off their legs , '' said Nan , whose practice was evidently to be of the heroic kind . `` Ship ahoy ! Where are you , Nan ? '' called a voice from below . `` Here we are . '' `` Ay , ay ! '' said the voice , and Emil appeared holding one hand in the other , with his face puckered up as if in pain . `` Oh , what 's the matter ? '' cried Daisy , anxiously . `` A confounded splinter in my thumb . 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 XXXXX resolved to have a needle-book in her own pocket henceforth , for just such cases as this were always occurring in her practice .
