“His mother!” marveled Harry with a low whistle. “Well, I’ll be switched!”
“Yes, and she needs a nurse, Harry; Dr. Gordon says so; and they think they can’t afford it. But, of course, she’s got to have one.”
“Has she?” asked Harry, trying to follow Hansel’s argument. “Well, if you say so.”
“We’ve got to get hold of some money.”
“Oh, that’s it? How much?”
“I don’t just know, but I think nurses charge about fifteen dollars a week.”
“Well, who’s going to get her, you?”
“I suppose so.”
“Well, hurry along then. She won’t want any pay until the end of her week, and meanwhile we’ll find plenty of money; lots of fellows will be only too glad to help Phin.”
