So saying, he crept on tiptoe to the bed, and clasping the pale hand held out to him, whispered some words that no doubt charmed and soothed the ear that heard them, for that pale hand was suddenly drawn from his own and thrown tenderly round his neck. The sound of a gentle kiss was heard through the stillness. "Mr. Caxton, sir," cried Mr.
Therefore he asked, "What is a boy?" vaguely, and, as it were, taken by surprise. "Lord, sir!" said Mrs. Primmins, "what is a boy? Why, the baby!" "The baby!" repeated my father, rising.
