题目内容：

    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."

Minnie May did not take kindly to, but Anne had not brought up three pairs of twins for nothing. Down it went, not only once, but many times during the long, worrying night when the two little girls worked patiently over the suffering Minnie May, and Young Mary Joe, honestly did all she could, kept a fire burning and heated more water than would have been needed for a hospital of croupy babies.
