He knew how Marty adored that

"And I'll take the knocker on

Marty. too, was being malicious.
The knocker was a gift from
Johns favorite college friend.
II was a little brass man with

with one pudgy fist curled against
his face.
And tied around the tiny plump
wrist was tag. John stepped

"You brutew she gaSped

She bent over the crib, her
hands moving in quick, efficient
gestures, her voice grooming.
John scowled at her feeling s
feet tall and inhumanly clumsy.
Then Marty saw thestag. She
turned il around so that she coulo

and for an instant she didn't

Then all at once She catapliltec
herself into Johns arms. Her
curls licked his neck, her breath

DASHING UPSTAIRS

Marty was dashing upstairs now
dropping tags, stopping 10 pick

John could hear her quick, light
footsteps hurrying around above
his head.
But, as he walked heavily across

he felt as if there was a great
weight somewhere inside him.

dazzle of happiness that suddenly
filled the room.

We came back from our
honeymoon. Marty, and the little
white house was all ready for
us.
We stood in the vestibule and
looked at each other. Then you
banged the knocker. Il guess

And we stood there laghing
like crazy. That was before /

He handed them 10 her, careful
not to brush his hand agains. her

Instantly she began to rush
around the room, tagging various
articles and frantically scribbling
her name on the tags.

But now a third voice came be-
tween them. putting a period to
a sentence which had never been
uttered.
1t was the wall of a baby up
stairs. the high, thin wall of baby

Johns face grew cold and hard as
