By thatindissoluble bond she had gained a home in every sick-chamber, andnowhere else; there were her brethren and sisters; thither her husbandsummoned her, with that voice which had seemed to issue from the graveof Toothaker. At length she recognized her destiny. We have beheld her as the maid, the wife, the widow; now we see her ina separate and insulated character; she was, in all her attributes, Nurse Toothaker. And Nurse Toothaker alone, with her own shrivelledlips, could make known her ex...perience in that capacity. What ahistory might she record of the great sicknesses, in which she hasgone hand in hand with the exterminating angel! She remembers whenthe small-pox hoisted a red banner on almost every house along thestreet. She has witnessed when the typhus fever swept off a wholehousehold, young and old, all but a lonely mother, who vainly shriekedto follow her last loved one. Where would be Death's triumph, if nonelived to weep? She can speak of strange maladies that have brokenout, as if spontaneously, but were found to have been imported fromforeign lands, with rich silks and other merchandise, the costliestportion of the cargo.
