Chapter 1:  When St. Monica's Nursing Home was first opened to the public, it excited a good deal of curiosity, and not a little criticism amongst the inhabitants of Maida Vale.  From the first it was understood that it was run on unusual lines, and that certain daring innovations had been effected. And as St. Monica's Lodge was also a Home for nurses, sundry old-fashioned conservatives put down their foot in a marked and truculent manner, and declared that in their opinion Miss Gresham permitted herself too much scope, and that such radical changes introduced into a Nursing Home would in the end lead to complete disorganisation.    (#00002006)
