11、lled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurses went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicines and food for the men. Her only pay was the smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they we

12、re more than enough for this kind woman.After war, she returned to England and was honoured for her service by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun.

26、uch is a big part of daily life.Whats more, there are different standards for who touches whom and where.
