Excerpt from Walford
IT was a saying with Walford people that Mrs. Rex ford was jealous of the sun that shone and the winds which blew on her little daughter. It is certain that she liked to perform every possible service for the child with her own hands, felt aggrieved at the briefest sep aration, and could not endure to miss the least of the wise utterances which issued, at times somewhat mys tically, from the baby lips.

One day in October Evelyn was solacing herself for the prospect of a long, uncongenial afternoon without the child, by herself dressing Bessy for a visit to her godmother. Each button, each knot of ribbon, was an apology for a snatched kiss, sudden, swift, and tender as a lover's.
