The Magic Meadow
“Nurse Jackson didn’t want him to go to Belleview again—for some reason she was very uneasy about it—yet she was forced to agree that it was the only thing to do. Everything in the bag was important. Aside from her extra clothes, there were matches, a flashlight, a mending kit, some packages of dried food, a set of kitchen knives, and the priceless medicines.
The others were still asleep when he stretched out on his bunk again and closed his eyes. He’d dressed in sneakers, a pair of jeans, and a...n old flannel shirt that had come out of Donations, and Nurse Jackson had made him eat two of the johnnycakes for breakfast. They were wonderful with the tangy molasses, and he could have eaten more, but he quickly squelched his appetite when he realized how little food there was for six people.
In spite of being rested, it seemed to take a lot more effort to get away this time, possibly because he hated so much to leave. The last thing he heard was Charlie Pill in the next bunk, for in the past few minutes Charlie had begun to mutter to himself with rising fever.MoreLess
