Nightingales Under The Mistletoe (1992) - Plot & Excerpts
She left the Nurses’ Home early, before Sulley’s cart came to collect them all, and tramped the two miles to the hospital in the dark rather than run the risk of meeting Connor. She was on duty on Female Medical, but spent most of her time checking her watch and looking nervously out of the windows, half expecting to see him marching up the drive like an avenging angel. She knew Connor Cleary too well to put anything past him. He was more than capable of slinging her over his shoulder and carrying her out of the ward if he felt so inclined. ‘Are we keeping you from something, Nurse O’Hara?’ Sister Allen asked finally. ‘No, Sister.’ ‘Only you keep looking at the time. I thought perhaps you had an urgent appointment?’ ‘No, Sister.’ ‘Then perhaps you’d get on with charting those samples? And stay away from the window,’ Sister Allen warned. From then on Effie tried to be more subtle about looking at her watch, and only glanced out of the window when she was hidden behind the screens, out of Sister’s line of sight.
