Speaker 1: Shenley Laboratories, producer of penicillin. Shenley and Shenley Pharmaceuticals presents
Speaker 1: the Yon Core theaterre Beyond Core Theater play Tonight, White Angel.
Speaker 2: Our star is Virginia Brooks.
Speaker 3: To Night.
Speaker 1: Shenley Laboratories presents another and a new series of great
Speaker 1: dramatic programs.
Speaker 4: Some of our.
Speaker 1: Stories are fact the struggles and accomplishments of great men
Speaker 1: of medicine.
Speaker 3: Others are fiction stories.
Speaker 1: Of devotion to an ideal individual.
Speaker 3: Heroism or courage.
Speaker 1: By these programs, Shenley Laboratories would remind you that medical
Speaker 1: science and progress is not cold in personal research or
Speaker 1: pages of statistics, but a warm human story told in
Speaker 1: living terms, whether it's the life of one of medicine's
Speaker 1: immortals or the everyday record of service rendered by your
Speaker 1: own physicians. Now, White Angel, starring Virginia Bruce as Florence Nightingale.
Speaker 5: Lawrence, where are you in here in the library? Mother? Lawrence?
Speaker 5: You aren't dressed.
Speaker 6: You forget about the land of dinner?
Speaker 5: Father? How can you go to dinner parties with all
Speaker 5: these terrible problems in the hospitals?
Speaker 2: Lawrence?
Speaker 7: You haven't been reading those reports.
Speaker 6: I've brought home.
Speaker 5: Yes, I have father. What's the cause of these appalling conditions?
Speaker 7: Well, for one thing, it seems to be impossible to
Speaker 7: get enough nurses.
Speaker 5: Now, Florence, we all know that there are aspects of
Speaker 5: life that we must all regret. Fortunately we don't have
Speaker 5: to encounter them. Now, run up and change your dress, dear.
Speaker 5: We're going to be terribly late. Mother. There's a tragedy
Speaker 5: on every one of those pages. People are dying for
Speaker 5: lack of care. An't you any imagination? Doesn't it call
Speaker 5: on you for service and help. I'm only thankful, Florence,
Speaker 5: that I lead a well ordered life in pleasant places
Speaker 5: and with beautiful association. But Florence, dear, I can't see
Speaker 5: why you should let yourself be come upset. I'm sure
Speaker 5: that your father will do everything in his power to
Speaker 5: improve matters. You'll forget all about this as soon as
Speaker 5: you're married to Charles. But I'm not going to marry Charles.
Speaker 5: It's out of the question now.
Speaker 7: Now, my dear, you are just a little upset. To night,
Speaker 7: things will look differently in the morning.
Speaker 5: I'm never going to marry any one. Charles is a
Speaker 5: very desirable husband. He's handsome, well educated, good family. Charles
Speaker 5: is much more than that. Mother. Charles is all the
Speaker 5: things I used to dream about when I was a
Speaker 5: little girl, all the things any woman would want a
Speaker 5: man to be. And if I could limit my life
Speaker 5: to the confines of one small world, I would marry Charles,
Speaker 5: and I'm I'm sure i'd be very happy. But I can't.
Speaker 2: Why not, Florence, Because I want to.
Speaker 5: Do something bigger, something really worthwhile. I want to feel,
Speaker 5: when I'm ready to die, that I've contributed something to
Speaker 5: the world. You could be a wife and a mother.
Speaker 5: What more could any woman be? I'm going to be
Speaker 5: a nurse. I'm going to Sweden next week to train. Well, miss,
Speaker 5: how do you like scrubbing floors? So I've done things
Speaker 5: I like, Feather, I can't make you are coming all
Speaker 5: the way to Starkholm to do this. Are there any
Speaker 5: training schools for nurses in England? No minna in England.
Speaker 5: They don't teach girls to do anything. Oh what a
Speaker 5: wonderful country to live in.
Speaker 8: Ladies, you're forgetting the rules of the institution. Work must
Speaker 8: be done silently. Come my probationists. I'm wanted by my
Speaker 8: patient in room twenty.
Speaker 5: I want you to come along, Minna. We just sat
Speaker 5: down to eat. You can't eat if your patients need you.
Speaker 8: Come girls, This is no time for dardling.
Speaker 5: Let me make the bed for you. Missus Arnold, certainly not.
Speaker 8: All you've got to do is look on and learn
Speaker 8: all you can.
Speaker 5: You're not ready yet for practical work, or we're ready
Speaker 5: for us chambermaid works, scrubbing and cleaning and everything else
Speaker 5: that's disagreeable.
Speaker 8: A very important rule in nursing is not to chatter.
Speaker 5: I carry these sheets downstairs? When may we take charge
Speaker 5: of patients.
Speaker 8: After you've learned your ABC's A course of dirty work
Speaker 8: makes the best nurses.
Speaker 3: Do have some of our comforts, lady.
Speaker 4: I am no, thank you, mister Herbert.
Speaker 9: As I was saying, I'd deplore all this revolutionary spirit
Speaker 9: on the continent. I do hope that Florence will get
Speaker 9: home safer from Stockholm.
Speaker 4: Missus Nightingale tells me that she's expected back tomorrow.
Speaker 5: How her mother must be looking forward to her settling down,
Speaker 5: settling down.
Speaker 9: Hadn't you heard Florence is determined to become a hospital nurse.
Speaker 5: A hospital nurse. Oh, you're not serious.
Speaker 9: I certainly am, and so is France.
Speaker 2: If she were my daughter, I'd give her a good gripping.
Speaker 5: Will imagine mixing with women of the lowest order.
Speaker 7: So far as I'm concerned, I shall cease to know
Speaker 7: Miss Nightingale from this moment onwards.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry to hear you say that, my dear, because
Speaker 4: I shall admire her more than ever. She sets us
Speaker 4: all an example by her courage and independence. Any intelligent
Speaker 4: doctor will go out of his way to get hold
Speaker 4: of her. Particularly with war brewing on the continent, we
Speaker 4: need nurses more than ever. Florence, my dear, what are
Speaker 4: you doing here in the law office? Not thinking of
Speaker 4: joining the army?
Speaker 5: Are you hello, mister Herbert, Yes I am, if i'll
Speaker 5: have me. Father is in with the army board now
Speaker 5: he took my application.
Speaker 4: Don't be too disappointed if they turn you down.
Speaker 5: Why should they do me, Domin, they need me.
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's a little hard to get men to admit
Speaker 4: that they need women.
Speaker 2: Well, father, I'm sorry, Florence.
Speaker 5: What did they say?
Speaker 7: They said that the medical staff at Scutare was quite
Speaker 7: satisfied with the male nurses that they had. They said
Speaker 7: the females were appeal to the Frenchman, but not to
Speaker 7: Englishmen wouldn't even consider the idea of sending you to Scutari, Florence.
Speaker 5: Are they're just being obstinate and out of date.
Speaker 4: Perhaps it's just as well, Florence. Think of the hardship
Speaker 4: you'd have to go through to get to the Crimea.
Speaker 4: It's a long way from London.
Speaker 7: They don't need you, Florence, but they thank you for
Speaker 7: your generous offer.
Speaker 5: Don't need me father? Look at this article in the Times.
Speaker 5: Paula says the sufferings of the sick and wounded are indescribable.
Speaker 5: There are no dresses and nurses. There are not sufficient surgeons.
Speaker 5: There's not even in linen to make bandages for the wounded.
Speaker 5: The wounded were led to believe that everything was ready
Speaker 5: which could ease their pain, But it was found that
Speaker 5: the commonest appliances of a workhouse sick ward were lacking.
Speaker 5: How dare they say they don't need me when they
Speaker 5: need everything and everyone that can help.
Speaker 4: I don't know how much weight I can swing with
Speaker 4: a board, but I'll be glad to talk to them
Speaker 4: for you. If you like, Florence, how would you do that?
Speaker 4: If they will send you, It'll mean reorganizing the entire
Speaker 4: Army medical system. You would be under the Minister of
Speaker 4: State and also under Lord Raglan, who was Commander in chief.
Speaker 4: You'd have to work in cooperation with his medical officers.
Speaker 3: Are you sure you'll be willing to do that.
Speaker 5: I'm willing to do anything to help you.
Speaker 4: Will see what I can do.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 5: Have you done any nursing by Miss Nightingale?
Speaker 1: Lineup over here?
Speaker 5: Please? Have you done any nursing? Well, I should think
Speaker 5: I have. I've nursed three husbands on their deathbeds, and
Speaker 5: I've worked at Saint Thomas's Hospital and the Middlesex Hospital
Speaker 5: and charing Cross Hospital. Sorry, you've been in too many
Speaker 5: places for me. Next, yes, Miss Nightingale. But nursing have
Speaker 5: you done none? But I've worked hard all my life.
Speaker 5: I've looked after a husband and several children. Oh. I
Speaker 5: know I'm not really experienced, but I can soon learn.
Speaker 5: I'm willing to do anything. You're willing to go to
Speaker 5: Scutari Yes, Miss Nightingale, all right, report to the woman
Speaker 5: at the next desk. She will give you the necessary forms. Next. Oh,
Speaker 5: your sister Columbus, and you got to Saint Vincent, aren't you. Yes,
Speaker 5: I've been in charge of you firmate the content. I'm
Speaker 5: willing to do anything it's needed. Thank you, sister. We
Speaker 5: shall have plenty for you to do it. Will you
Speaker 5: go over to missus Herbert's table. She's enrolling the nurses.
Speaker 5: Miss Nightingale, I'm sorry, we're only interviewing women nurses.
Speaker 10: I'm not a nurse. I'm a cook. I'm a Shepherd
Speaker 10: of perform Club. My name is Alexis Swyyeik, and I
Speaker 10: would like to join your expedition. I know that for
Speaker 10: me also, there's work at Scutari.
Speaker 5: I accept your offer most thankfully. You shall be in
Speaker 5: charge of the hospital kitchen.
Speaker 3: May I speak to you for a moment, Florence.
Speaker 5: Of course, mister Hervey, please.
Speaker 4: Florence, here is your letter of introduction to Colonel Hunt.
Speaker 4: He's the commanding officer at Scutari around the military discipline. Now, Lawrence,
Speaker 4: I understand Colonel Hunt has been advised already that you're coming.
Speaker 4: I can't tell you whether he's pleased or not.
Speaker 5: I'm sure he isn't.
Speaker 11: Read that communicator, Doctor Scott, did you ever hear of
Speaker 11: such impertinence? What the office it's thinking of sending a
Speaker 11: woman here to STI.
Speaker 2: Time who is this miss Nightingale, Colonel.
Speaker 11: Harm who knows some female busybody?
Speaker 2: I imagine she's here mainly in an advisory position.
Speaker 11: What you can advise me about I can't imagine, and
Speaker 11: I'm not gonna worry about her. I've always hope while
Speaker 11: there's the English channel, she's probably won't get further than Boulogne.
Speaker 12: Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, colonel, that her vote
Speaker 12: is doing this morning.
Speaker 2: What what hospital.
Speaker 3: You are signing?
Speaker 2: This Nightingale too? This one? But we have typhoid cases here.
Speaker 2: She wants to be a nurse here.
Speaker 3: That counts to prove it.
Speaker 12: Why don't you assign her to my hospital until this
Speaker 12: typhoid epidemic is over?
Speaker 2: We can never tell her this kind of infection. You'd
Speaker 2: better tell that to miss Nightingale, so you'll go home
Speaker 2: and stay home. I think you're treating her outrageously.
Speaker 11: If you're forgetting yourself softer, Scott, I think NASA leave
Speaker 11: for the front immediately, Yes, sir.
Speaker 5: Orderly, please open those windows. We need some air in here.
Speaker 3: Don't do that, mister smell for all of the ve's coming.
Speaker 5: When we've cleaned up everywhere, there will be no more
Speaker 5: smells or vermin? Are you the storekeeper?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: What can I do for your miss?
Speaker 5: To begin with? I want a dozen mops, a dozen buckets,
Speaker 5: and all the soap, sponges and flore cars you've got.
Speaker 5: I want five hundred night shirts, and I'll send the
Speaker 5: nurses offer for them in five minutes.
Speaker 7: Give me your requisition and I'll see that in due
Speaker 7: course it reaches the board of directors.
Speaker 5: A board of directors for a hospital store. Can't you
Speaker 5: give me these things yourself? The manner in such hideous discomfortate?
Speaker 5: They can't wait another minute.
Speaker 7: I'm not allowed to issue anything till it's being fast
Speaker 7: by the board.
Speaker 6: I can't go beyond my regulation.
Speaker 5: I command you to give them to me.
Speaker 6: I've got my orders and I'm going to obey them.
Speaker 5: I've got my orders too, And when my nurses arrive here,
Speaker 5: you'd better give the nurse supplies.
Speaker 6: I've come to make a complaint against miss Nightingale.
Speaker 2: Sir, what's she's done?
Speaker 6: She's stolen five hundred churchs and a good many other things.
Speaker 3: Sir.
Speaker 6: He was broken with a bunch of nurses and took them,
Speaker 6: and you let her. I can't fight women, sir, Well,
Speaker 6: I can't.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you came in, Miss Nightingdale. I wanted to
Speaker 2: talk to you.
Speaker 5: I wanted to talk to you. You've avoided me since
Speaker 5: the moment of my arrival. I hope what I'm going
Speaker 5: to say maybe for the good of the common cause
Speaker 5: we both serve.
Speaker 3: You don't have a stand.
Speaker 2: I'm an army officer, I know, and I'm a nurse.
Speaker 5: But I think it would be for the benefit of
Speaker 5: a sick and wounded if we could talk openly to
Speaker 5: one another.
Speaker 2: What is it you want to say, Colonel Hunt?
Speaker 5: What makes you show this animosity towards me?
Speaker 3: It's Nightingale.
Speaker 2: I appreciate the frankness of your question.
Speaker 3: I not opposed to you as a person, but.
Speaker 2: I object to the idea of women nurses to the army.
Speaker 2: And why do you object? You make the men soft.
Speaker 2: Soldiers don't need to be cuddled by a lot of women.
Speaker 5: We don't cuddle the soldiers. We try to make their
Speaker 5: pitiful state easier to bear.
Speaker 2: There's nothing the pity. It's part of a soldier's.
Speaker 5: Life, Colonel Hunt. Have you ever been sick or wounded?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: And I know what a man can stand.
Speaker 5: Is there no possibility of an understanding between us none whatever.
Speaker 11: I warn you that if you show any further insubordination,
Speaker 11: I shall have you court martials.
Speaker 5: Colonel Hunt, I'm here to work simply and solely for
Speaker 5: the benefit of the soldiers. I shall continue to do
Speaker 5: so in any way that it is necessary.
Speaker 1: Most of us are familiar with the miraculous result from
Speaker 1: the use of penicillin and serious infection. But did you
Speaker 1: know that penicillin is now used in preventive medicine as
Speaker 1: well in cases of minor surgery. For instance, your doctor
Speaker 1: may administer penicillum in any one of several forms to
Speaker 1: prevent secondary infections. Naturally, increased uses to penicillin compose a
Speaker 1: demand to increased quantities. Chanley Laboratories is geared to do
Speaker 1: its part in meeting at demand. In addition to penicillum
Speaker 1: in its original form, Chaneley has now developed such pharmaceuticals
Speaker 1: as penicillin cablets and proties for administration by mouth, as
Speaker 1: well as penicillin ointment and of fom appointment. As one
Speaker 1: of the world's largest uses of the search on mold
Speaker 1: and fermentation processes from which penicillum and other antibiotics are derived.
Speaker 1: Chenry Laboratories has dedicated itself to a continuing program of
Speaker 1: investigation and study. It is our sincere hope and name
Speaker 1: that this research program resulted the production of new and
Speaker 1: ever grating healing aids replaced at the disposal of doctors everywhere.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 1: The second act of White Angel, starring Virginia Bruce as
Speaker 1: Florence Nightingale.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: During the weeks that followed, she became a legend. The
Speaker 1: soldiers that she nursed idolized her, and so did people
Speaker 1: all over the world who read and.
Speaker 3: Heard of her work.
Speaker 1: In America, a man named Longfellow wrote her poems and
Speaker 1: in the writing gave her a title that would live forever,
Speaker 1: The Lady with the Lamb. She became a goddess of
Speaker 1: life and healing. To Officer Infantryman, Drummer boy.
Speaker 5: A snighting Chale, here I am, Tommy. I'll sit by
Speaker 5: your better moment, shall I? Oh my? What's the matter, Tommy?
Speaker 5: You're usually in much better spirits.
Speaker 3: The doctor told him that he won't live until tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Miss I shan't find dying it here with me? Tommy?
Speaker 5: Have you got a mother and a father?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 11: I have?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 5: Then you think about them and how much they'll all
Speaker 5: want to see you again. I'll tell you what we'll
Speaker 5: do tomorrow. You and I will write them a letter
Speaker 5: tomorrow tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Good morning, mis Nightingale.
Speaker 5: He's still sleeping.
Speaker 9: You been here all night?
Speaker 5: Yes? No, because Feaver's gone down. He's much better. I
Speaker 5: don't understand. He didn't think he could live until morning.
Speaker 5: He's going to live. He's going to be all right.
Speaker 5: Her little care goes a long way, yes, and a
Speaker 5: little love goes a long way further. I'm glad he's better.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't like to leave for the Crimea as long
Speaker 5: as anyone still needed me here.
Speaker 2: Well s Nightingale, Welcome to the Crimea.
Speaker 5: Oh doctor Scott, I'm so glad to see you. I
Speaker 5: need your help. The officials here won't supply my staff
Speaker 5: with any food. Who gave him such an idiotic order?
Speaker 2: I did you who? Those were Colonel Hans's instructions. I
Speaker 2: had no choice but to obey them.
Speaker 5: Colonel Hunt is going out of his way to be vindictive.
Speaker 5: You can't be expected to obey him.
Speaker 12: I don't dare fall follow him again. I was sent
Speaker 12: here because I told him what I thought of him.
Speaker 12: For putting you in the typhoid ward. If I disobeyed
Speaker 12: Hi now, it would mean a court martial. I comfished
Speaker 12: that I.
Speaker 5: Should think not. Indeed, it doesn't matter about me. I
Speaker 5: can always get along with a cup of tea. But
Speaker 5: I must do something about my nurses that they're famished it,
Speaker 5: Miss Nightingale. Yes, what is it? We've been refused admittance
Speaker 5: to the hospital. What we are certainly not ordered here?
Speaker 5: Did you give that order to doctor Scott?
Speaker 3: You don't understand.
Speaker 2: I'm part of this miserable system.
Speaker 5: Your system may starve me, but it will never succeed
Speaker 5: in keeping me for my sick I shall go to
Speaker 5: the hospital at once and demand admittance once, Nightingale, I'm.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Miss, I can't pass you into the hospital.
Speaker 6: Why not orders?
Speaker 3: I hope you'll go quietly back.
Speaker 5: Miss.
Speaker 7: If you try to come in here, I should be
Speaker 7: obliged to restrain you.
Speaker 3: Orders are orders.
Speaker 5: Then I shall wait out here till they're canceled.
Speaker 13: In the snow, Miss in the snow, Doctor Scott, Lord Ragland,
Speaker 13: I've been informed that Miss Nightingale has been refused admission
Speaker 13: to the hospital.
Speaker 3: Was this done by an official order? Yes? Where is
Speaker 3: that order, Doctor Scott. Pick it up. Yes, now, tear
Speaker 3: it up. That's sir.
Speaker 14: I am Commander in Chief of the British Army. I
Speaker 14: said to tear it up, Yes, sir, Miss Nightingale, Yes, sir,
Speaker 14: I am Lord Ragland, Commander in Chief of the British Armies,
Speaker 14: my arm Madam. I will escort you personally into our hospital.
Speaker 14: Gentlemen of the medical staff. I am deeply ashamed that
Speaker 14: such a thing could have happened in the Army to
Speaker 14: a lady of our country. Colonel Hunt is to be
Speaker 14: relieved of his post at Scutari, and I want the
Speaker 14: entire army to know that I have said most emphatically
Speaker 14: that there must be no more of these petty jealousies.
Speaker 3: Thank you, gentlemen. That will be all.
Speaker 6: I beg your pardon, sir, Yes, Doctor Scott, what is it?
Speaker 2: It's Miss Nightingale, sir. She's ill, she has the cholera.
Speaker 3: How do you feel today, Miss Nightingale?
Speaker 5: Better, Lord Raglon, be.
Speaker 3: Not too soon. I wanted you to know that letters
Speaker 3: had been pouring in from all parts of the world
Speaker 3: concerned for your well being, and this morning we had
Speaker 3: a letter from her Majesty the Queen sending her good
Speaker 3: wishes for your recovery.
Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 14: You're going home for a visit as soon as you're
Speaker 14: well enough. Her Majesty wishes to meet you. In her
Speaker 14: own words, she wishes to have the honor of meeting you. Crying,
Speaker 14: Miss Nightingale. That's not very soldierly of you, I know, Oh,
Speaker 14: but how very lovely it is to see that someone
Speaker 14: so much a soldier can also be so.
Speaker 3: Much a woman.
Speaker 2: Thank please, Miss Smith, anything to declare?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: Shall I open my suitcase ahead?
Speaker 2: Did you see what it says here in the Times
Speaker 2: of Water.
Speaker 3: Yesterday Miss Nightingale.
Speaker 12: Returned as Miss Smith to her home at Embley, without
Speaker 12: anyone being aware that she'd even landed in England. Miss
Speaker 12: Nightingale wishes it to be known that she desires no
Speaker 12: reception celebrations in her honor. She would prefer that the
Speaker 12: money for such a purpose should be the nucleus of
Speaker 12: a fund for building training schools for nurses in England.
Speaker 3: A fine woman, God bless him.
Speaker 5: For Florence. I could just cry. I spent weeks planning
Speaker 5: a gown for you to wear to see the Queen.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, mother, isn't that I don't appreciate it. But
Speaker 5: I'm going as I am in that old uniform. I'm
Speaker 5: going to meet her as a nurse, wearing the uniform
Speaker 5: that symbolizes my work. It's my work in executive at Lantis. Now,
Speaker 5: I'm sure the Queen mon't hear your views on nursing.
Speaker 5: She'll likely be pleasant. One or two anecdotes about the war, perhaps,
Speaker 5: but no opinions.
Speaker 2: Herbert is waiting for you in the carriage, Florence.
Speaker 5: I'm coming far from Florence. At least do one thing
Speaker 5: for me. Please let the Queen speak first.
Speaker 4: This is Her Majesty's audience chamber in here, Florence. I'll
Speaker 4: take you in and I'll wait for you downstairs.
Speaker 5: I think I'm a little scared.
Speaker 3: If you don't need to be, I think you'll find
Speaker 3: you and the Queen see eye too. I have about
Speaker 3: a good many things.
Speaker 15: Miss Nightingale.
Speaker 4: I presume, yes, I know, mister Bullock, Laura is may
Speaker 4: I present mister Bullock, the Permanent Undersecretary to.
Speaker 3: The War Office.
Speaker 5: Indeed, well, this is an unexpected pleasure the Bullock. It
Speaker 5: is always interesting to meet and add the same. You
Speaker 5: are one of the men who has been fighting me
Speaker 5: for two years, aren't you.
Speaker 15: I'm afraid you're mistaken on only one point. I'm still
Speaker 15: fighting you. Why because you are a dangerously progressive woman.
Speaker 5: Then, mister Bulleck, you are not fighting me but the
Speaker 5: ideals for which I stand.
Speaker 15: Ideals but will inevitably undermine the system I represent if
Speaker 15: they are ever allowed openly to be put into practice.
Speaker 5: What do you do?
Speaker 3: We cannot afford.
Speaker 5: Experiments, and we cannot afford to wait.
Speaker 15: Whether you wait or not will depend largely upon the
Speaker 15: decisions of a Majesty the Queen. It seems only fair
Speaker 15: to tell you that I have already spoken to her
Speaker 15: regarding the war of his his attitude.
Speaker 3: In this matter.
Speaker 4: I am sorry to hear that, Bullick. It seems to
Speaker 4: me that it will be only common curtesy to allow
Speaker 4: Miss Nakingale to see her first.
Speaker 15: Miss Nightingale has chosen to enter a man's world. She
Speaker 15: need not therefore expect any quarter, because she's a woman.
Speaker 5: I don't expect any quarter, nor shall I give any
Speaker 5: I have been fighting a long time now, mister Bullock,
Speaker 5: and I know how to fight.
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 15: Well, Miss adding Gil, it's been most interesting to meet
Speaker 15: you and to have this opportunity of talking with you.
Speaker 2: Good day, good day.
Speaker 4: It's almost time for your appointment. I'll leave you hearing
Speaker 4: her Majesty's audience chamber. She'll be in in a moment.
Speaker 5: That's a fine portrait of her. I think i'll practice
Speaker 5: my speech. I won't get stage fight in front of
Speaker 5: a portrait flow.
Speaker 4: I wait for you downstairs.
Speaker 5: Good luck, Thank you, Uh, your Majesty. I expect that
Speaker 5: Colonel Hunt has told you about the defects in my
Speaker 5: work at Scutari, and no one knows them better than I.
Speaker 5: But the difficulty is that my loyal nurses had to
Speaker 5: face were at times almost insurmountable. Whatever else I may
Speaker 5: have done during the war, I have shown beyond doubt
Speaker 5: that nursing is woman's highest vocation. It is for the
Speaker 5: future of nursing that I am pleading all over the
Speaker 5: civilized world. The development of every branch of science as
Speaker 5: being furthered, except the science of nursing. Nothing is being
Speaker 5: done for that. To be unprepared when the hour strikes
Speaker 5: is a crime. To be ready is the secret of life.
Speaker 5: I want to establish training schools for nurses for the
Speaker 5: big army of women that is coming out of a future,
Speaker 5: Ready and willing to take my vow, I solemnly pledge
Speaker 5: myself before God to pass my life in purity and
Speaker 5: to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever
Speaker 5: is deleterious and mischievous, will not take or knowingly administer
Speaker 5: any harmful drug. I will do all in my power
Speaker 5: to elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold
Speaker 5: in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping and
Speaker 5: all family affairs coming to my knowledge. In the practice
Speaker 5: of my profession with law well, I endeavor to aid
Speaker 5: the physician in his work and devote myself to the
Speaker 5: welfare of those committed to my care. Oh, Miss Nightingale,
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, from majesty, I'm so sorry I didn't hear
Speaker 5: you come in. I'm glad you didn't.
Speaker 9: It was a fine speech, and I want you to
