At the hospital Dr. Laver introduces Alice to the care of young babies. How will she cope?
Dr. Laver: | Okay, well in this room we monitor the babies overnight. Now, the important thing is to talk to them. |
Alice: | Talk to them? What do I say? |
Dr. Laver: | Well, watch me. Hello, you are a handsome boy aren’t you? You’re gorgeous. Now you try. Speak to the baby next to you. |
Alice: | Oh, okay. Hello little one! Who’s a handsome boy then? |
Dr. Laver: | Erm, that’s a girl. |
Alice: | Oh! Who’s a pretty little girl? What a lovely smile! Aren’t you lovely? Oh, oh, oh! |
Dr. Laver: | Excellent, excellent – you’re a natural. You’ll make a very good nurse here and a lovely mother one day I’m sure. |
