Small Town Nurse/Enter Nurse Marian — Emily Thorne

Diagnosis: Loneliness
Prescription: Love

As simply as that, Nurse Marian Rutledge prescribed for the people of Bridgetown.

There was Marian's brother Clive, who frequently thought that something -- or someone -- was missing from his life.

And Alberta Thwaits, who withdrew into one small corner of a dusty, rundown mansion.

Or Olive Cressett, a timid spinster, who domineering mother constantly “protected” her from unhappiness -- and men.

For these, Nurse Marian could make quick diagnoses -- and find just the right cure.

But for herself, she was as helpless as any other woman in love.
