The Convalescent "Just recovering from a long illness, Jeannie is allowed to leave her bed and sit up in a chair. Everyone is kind to her and anxious to lighten the tedium of her convalescence. Sometimes a neighbour's bairns come in and play with her, and when she is strong enough auld Donald calls, and with wild skirling on the pipes makes her quite forget her pain." |
