anyway. You just take that brat back
where you found it. | won't have it
around" He was so mad that he
went away this morning without kiss

done before" and she wept at the ter

Take it away. | never want to see
another baby"
When Mr.. Werthimer returned that
evening, there was the baby in her
accustomed place on the floor, with
the dog performing his old tricks, and
the bird splitting its throat with mel
