ful for the money. The mother will
never ask for 1t, never wish to see it."
And thus, despite Marshalrs longing
to keep the helpless, hapless child, was
the matter arranged. Constance never
asked after her baby, and when she was

Hoderick, and he pitied the poor young
mother from the bottom of his heart, for
