The only annoying thing was that the Nurse kept coming in and out, and every time she came in, she brought a gigantic toy with her.a huge doll, bigger than Jill herself, a wooden horse on wheels, about the size of an elephant, a drum that looked like a young gasometer, and a woolly lamb. They were crude, badly made things, painted in very bright colours, and Jill hated the sight of them. She kept on telling the Nurse she didn‘t want them, but the Nurse said:
“Tut.tut.tut.tut. You’ll want ‘em all right when you’ve had a bit of a rest, I know! Te.he.he! Beddy bye, now. A precious poppet!”
The bed was not a giant bed but only a big four.poster, like what you might see in an old.fashioned hotel; and very small it looked in that enormous room. She was very glad to tumble into it.
“Is it still snowing, Nurse?” she asked sleepily.
“No. Raining now, ducky!” said the giantess. “Rain‘ll wash way all the nasty snow. Precious poppet will be able to go ut and play tomorrow!” And she tucked Jill up and said ood night.
