Eleanore Margaret Gainesbourgh burst into the world after giving her Mother and an exhausted physcian 24 hours of pain and exhaustion.
The Doctor would have left hours ago had not the Gainesbourgh family been very prominent in Philadelphia society. He spent as much of the time sipping Brandy with the Father to be as he did attending Rebbecca Agnes Gainesbourgh.
This not to say the young Mother-in-waiting and hard labour was ever alone. There was in attendance a midwife, a nurse and her personal maid. The three women did everything they could to make Rebecca comfortable.
Eleanore finally came into the light showing a bottom-breach presentation that caused her Mother to faint. The Doctor then worked the child from her tired body. He smacked the babies bottom three times before she cried lustily. He was the last person to ever hit her and get away with it.
The proud Father did not seem to mind that his child was a daughter and sat quietly holding the hand of his wife. As Rebecca returned to consciousness her first words to her husband were,"NEVER AGAIN."
