Her nursing has kept mamma alive through one or two illnesses.

Our lawyer says he never knew any business affairs better managed than ours, and Catherine manages them.

The one thing she never takes any care or thought for is herself.

What we should do without her I can't imagine; and yet sometimes I think if it goes on much longer none of us three will have any character of our own left.
