Because she had expected the trip to result in the bringing home of the
child, Mrs. Harding had made ready a low folding davenport in her first-

There in the light, pretty room, Mickey gently laid Peaches down and said:
"Now if you'll just give me time to get her rested and settled a little,
you can see her a peep; but there ain't going to be _much_ seeing or
talking to-night. If she has such a lot she ain't used to and gets sick,
it will be a bad thing for her, and all of us, so we better just go slow
and easy."

to the back yard and play quietly. When Little White Butterfly gets rested
and fed, we'll come one at a time and kiss her hand, and wish her pleasant
dreams with us, and then we'll every one of us get down on our knees and
ask God to help us take such good care of her that she will get well at
our house.
