Texte à corriger : "A Girl in Ten Thousand" by L. T. Meade is a compelling narrative that explores themes of duty, courage, and the pursuit of one's calling. The story begins with Effie Staunton, a young woman living in the small village of Whittington, who feels constrained by her domestic life and yearns for a more meaningful existence. Her desire to become a nurse is inspired by her friend Dorothy Fraser, a dedicated nurse at St. Joseph's Hospital. Despite her mother's reliance on her and her father's traditional views, Effie is determined to follow her dreams. The plot thickens when a medical emergency arises at The Grange, the home of the wealthy Harvey family. Their young daughter, Freda, is gravely ill with a combination of scarlet fever and diphtheria. Dr. Staunton, Effie's father, is called to attend to the child, marking a significant moment as he is finally summoned to the prestigious household. Recognizing the severity of the situation, Dr. Staunton enlists Dorothy's help, who readily agrees to nurse the child despite the risks involved. Dorothy's presence brings a sense of calm and order to the chaotic household. Her experience and composure are instrumental in stabilizing Freda's condition, and she manages to persuade Mrs. Harvey, the child's anxious mother, to rest and trust in her care. Throughout the ordeal, Dorothy's dedication and skill highlight the importance of trained nurses, challenging Dr. Staunton's initial skepticism about women in the profession. Effie, meanwhile, is left to manage her family's affairs, demonstrating her capability and maturity. The narrative underscores the transformative power of following one's passion and the emergence of strong, compassionate women in the field of nursing. As the story unfolds, Effie's resolve to pursue her own path is strengthened, inspired by Dorothy's example and the critical role she plays in saving a life.
