Elizabeth Goudge Quotes

Though Her Head Was Aching Too Much For Her To Reason With Herself, She Could Think Of Nice Things - The Cumberland Hills, Her Lambs, Her Nannie, Who Had Taught Her This Trick Of Detachment. "When You're Sick Or Sorry, Child" She Had Said, "think Of Other Things As Much As You Are Able. It's Just Practice, Start Young And You'll Get The Trick Of It." And Most Astonishingly, After A Little While Of Going Back To Childhood And Remembering Nannie In Her Blue Print Dress, With Her White Apron On And Her Sleeves Rolled Up, Turning On The Bath-water And Humming A Little Song As She Did It, She Fell Asleep.
