would be unfair to the children. She
stepped forward and jabbed finger
into Elizabeth's ribs. Elizabeth paled
and gasped.
Jane whispered, "Poke Daniel like
that. If you lose your temper these
children won't respect you. Hurry! 1t
isn't scientific, but it works."
Elizabeth looked at her for a Sec
ond in bewilderment. Then she bent
swiftly and poked Daniel in the ribs.
1t was like opening a warm bottle
of champagne. A pop, hiss of air
and finally a pleasant bubbling sound.
Daniel was giggling. The other four
children debated like so many toy bal
looms. They shrieked with laughter
and rolled on the floor.
OANE looked at Keith. He hadn't
seen her poke Elizabeth, or heard the
whispered advice. He was nodding
approval and watching Elizabeth ad-
miringly. II - think I'll take Daniel
back now." Jane mumbled.
"Oh. Oh. yes, certainly" Elizabeth
said. ut really was unfair of me to
steal him from your department"
Jane picked up Daniel and hurried
away. He wilted against her shoulder
like big yellow chrysanthemum. He
was very tired. His arms hung Imply
around her neck. She sniffled a little
as she walked. In a few months he
would probably be learning to snuggle
against someone else. A permanent
mother, this time. Not just a tempo
rary one who worked in a hospital
and wasn't supposed to love the babies
in her department.
She wondered what it would be like
to have Keith's arms around her in
stead of Daniels. He would probably
be clumsy. She dropped Daniel in
his old crib for a temporary nap be-
fore dinner He tucked the loppy rag
doll under his stomach and collapsed.
Jane returned to her Office. She had
just finished her spare handkerchief
when Keith entered. He looked very
grave.
