The Nurse's daughter was the same age as Juliet, unfortunately, her daughter was no longer with her. Fortunately, she was able to shower that affection on Juliet.

Even or odd, of all days in the year, Come Lammas Eve at night shall she be fourteen. Susan and she—God rest all Christian souls!— Were of an age. Well, Susan is with God. She was too good for me. But, as I said, On Lammas Eve at night shall she be fourteen. That shall she.
