`` No I have n't , Nurse , indeed , '' answered Hermione . `` I had no patience at all when I was in a passion with the cat just now . '' `` Well , I suppose there are two or three sorts of Patiences , Miss , then , '' persisted Nurse , `` for I 'm certain you have _ some _ sorts . But , dear me , its ever so much past six o'clock , and you have to be dressed by half-past . Do put away the worsted and get yourself ready , Miss , and call Jane to help you . '' Here the Nurse and Hermione nearly had a scuffle over the worsted . Hermione declared the cat had spoilt her stocking ; and the only comfort left to her now was to roll it comfortably up into a ball .
