Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)

Miss Pigot is so artless. She has no comprehension of how someone like Nurse Briggs views a married man and an unmarried woman in close proximity, even if Miss Pigot is in her forties. But I know how quickly tongues can wag. I should never have gone to the sickroom, let alone accepted Miss Pigot’s invitation to sit beside her. I can hear my wife Katy admonishing me. “Ye be a foolish man,” she would say. “Have a care what you’re about.”
