Lady Browne replies that she has, when Chummy was a tiny baby.When the Sister found out that Chummy was missing appointments, because she still couldn't ride a bicycle, she viciously scolded her in front of the other nurses, stunning them all into an awkward silence.
It's not a term of endearment. The bridesmaids, dressed in their uniforms, were her co-workers.

But [this time] it wasn’t meant to be.” But her news is a bit of a surprise. I got less comfortable with 'Mama' as she got more cruel as I hit puberty and started developing a life outside of her. A small, alert woman who looks 20 years younger than her age, Sister Teresa can’t recall anyone who might have inspired Chummy.

Chummy Camilla Cholomondely-Browne, otherwise known as Chummy, is the daughter of a prominent family who has found her way into nursing and midwifery by a circuitous route.

The Sisters of today and the Sisters of then!
