Betty Grier

"Betty Grier" by Joseph Laing Waugh is a story about a man named William Russell who goes back to his hometown after being away for a while because he was hurt in an accident. He's not as strong as he used to be, and he thinks a lot about when he was a kid. The main part of the story is how he feels about his old nurse, Betty Grier, who reminds him of the good old days. When William gets back, he remembers his family and how good it felt to be taken care of by Betty. He's thankful for her and thinks about love and feeling lonely because things didn't work out with someone he liked. The book shows William starting a new part of his life while remembering the past and looking for new friends.
