Thirty eight nurses sailed for Scutari and found a hospital built over a cesspool. Tooley tells Florence Nightingale for the readers who still remembered her: the comfortable Hampshire family she fought to escape, the Crimean wards, the lamp, and the fifty years afterwards spent rebuilding army medicine from a sofa in London. The saint story, with the administrator clearly visible underneath.
