"Trained nurse?" Hubert was almost laughing. "You don't know Gran. She'd throw a trained nurse out of the window, would Gran. She's a despot, and not so benevolent a one, either. I'd hate to cross her. And he hasn't let even the maid into her bedroom in years and years. If you got a trained nurse without her consent, or did anything else against her orders, Gran would be perfectly capable of cutting your throat. She's so old she doesn't care what happens."
