22、 Minnie May, aged three, was really very sick. She lay on the kitchen sofa, feverish and restless, while her hoarse (嘶哑的) breathing could be heard all over the house. Young Mary Joe, whom Mrs Barry had asked to stay with the children during her absence, was helpless and nervous, quite unable to think what to do, or do it if she thought of it.
Anne went to work with skill and rapidity.
“Minnie May has croup (哮吼); she' s pretty bad, but I've seen worse. First, we must have lots of hot water. There isn’t more than a cup in the kettle! There, I've filled it up, and Mary Joe, you may put some wood in the stove. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but it seems to me you might have thought of this before if you'd any imagination. Now, I' ll undress Minnie May and put her to bed, and you try to find some soft and warm clothes. Diana. I' m going to give her some ipecac first of all."

What did Wilma have in her corner? Not much more than great determination. This story is incredibly inspiring and the illustrations(插图) by David Diaz bring the amazing facts straight to your heart. | Basketball Belles by Sue Macy This book is set in 1896 and the attractive illustrations by Matt Collins take readers back to that time. The author takes you back into that gymnasium and makes you see not only how amazing that first game was for those devoted women who played in it, but also how important it was to all the women that have played basketball ever since. |
