floor and wondered how he could have
been 80 hnppy--so free from nervous
ness for So long time.
He hated the great beauty Of the
outside world. When he heard people
wishing each other Merry Christmas
he almost hated their smiles and their
cheerful voices.
How deeply be loved Lillian. She
was worth all the Christmas PRESENTS
In the world OF course. There were
no TWO ways about that.
And the doctor had said with such
genial. merry twinkle In his eyes:
well, l fancy the young son and
heir win be q Christmas present from
the missus to yonI"
He had laughed at the time, and
Lillian had blushed md smiled and
laughed, too The doctor was such
n friendly old soul--he had been the
doctor when Lillian had been born.
And he was fine, too.
BUT perhaps he counted too much on
Lilliaf's strength. Ray had been sent
out OF the room and he had been alone
here now for 30 long.
At frst he had been SO full Of high
spirits. But the delay had been 80
strange. They hadn't told him there
would be any such delay, They had
simply sent him out Of the room and
had said that everything was all right
and that they'd come and tell hin
soon TO be back to see his child.
