Having been at home all dav during

the child only for an hour now and
then of an evening, Mary felt that
much might be said on the question.

was going to take Il day off and escort
Mary and Jimmie to the fair. He felt
that he was doing a 'prodigious thing,

by the new experience. Alfred
was aggressively complacent He
said that Jimmie was model
of good behavior; no trouble at
all. Never saw such a quiet child: it
couldn't be any task at all to take care
of him every day and all day. Mary
bided her time. So did Jimmie, but
not for long. Very soon. he said in
his infantile drawl, and with a man
ner that was childlike and bland:
Papa, if we should meet a whale.
