The Angels of Lovely Lane
“As she sat in front of Matron’s desk, complaining about Pammy Tanner, it occurred to Matron that Sister Antrobus had sat in front of her desk and complained in this way about numerous nurses. All of them had gone on to leave St Angelus, often without Matron’s encouragement. Matron had defended Sister Antrobus and her capricious relationship with junior nurses, most notably to Sister Haycock, but now she realized that she had committed a dreadful error, one that a woman in her position should ne...ver make. She had allowed her judgement to be swayed by her personal feelings.
As she watched Sister Antrobus, squirming and failing to dig herself out of the hole she had found herself in, it was as though a veil suddenly fell from her eyes and everything became clear. Blackie lay in his basket and was silent. Even he could sense that the situation was serious. She had told Elsie not to bring in any tea. A meeting with Matron without tea was in itself an indicator of trouble ahead. As Sister Antrobus dug deeper, Matron felt nothing but contempt for her lack of compassion and her bitterness towards young nurses.MoreLess
