It will help to pass the time away. It is very hard to endure this prison life, and know that my sons think me insane when I am not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow unkind Mrs. Mills is today; does she think this sort of treatment is for the good of our health? I begged for milk today, and she can't spare me any; she has not enough for all the old women, she says. I don't wish to deprive any one of that which they require, but have I not a right to all I require to feed me and make me well? All I do need is good nourishing food, and I know better than any one else can what I require to build me up and make me as I was before I met with this strange change of condition. I remember telling the Doctor, on his first visit to my room, that I only needed biscuit and milk and beef tea to make me well. He rose to his feet and said, \"I know better than any other man.\" That was all I heard him say, and he walked out, leaving me without a word of sympathy, or a promise that I should have anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Huestis Pengilly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1979322163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781979322164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.09d","brand":"Mary Huestis Pengilly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125800235263,"sku":"9781979322164","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fba5345f-6cdb-4644-aa7d-4741c08ee75d.jpg?v=1687444738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diary-written-in-the-provincial-mary-huestis-pengilly-9781979322164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
