and altogether the appeal was irresistible to tho
kind hearted lady Of the house, who gave her
good supply of food. As she handed it to her,
the woman, in moving her arms TO receive it, let
fnll-a stick ofuoodi What" exclaimed the Ia
dy, "s this the kind Of beby you are carrying
about" The beggar woman, who appeared to
be intoxicated, cursed her like vixen, and left
to practise her Imposition elsewhere.
