"Aw g'wan!" said Peaches. "I ain't goin' screechin' even if you hurt

Mickey poured on ointment, then began softly rubbing it into the dreadful
back. His face was drawn with anxiety and filled with horror. He was
afraid, but the nurse said this he should do, while Mickey's first lesson
had been implicit obedience. So he rubbed gently as he was fearful; when
Peaches made no complaint, a little stronger, and a little stronger, until
he was tired. Then he covered her, telling her to lie on it, and see how
it felt. Peaches looked at him with wondering eyes.
