"My darling, my precious little daughter!" he said, clasping her close, and showering kisses on her face. "Where is every one? you are the first I have seen, and why, how you have been crying! What is wrong?" "O papa! the baby the baby's most killed," she sobbed. "Come, I'll take you to her and mamma!"
Come quick! Come quick! Peach has deaded herself!" yelled the Little Girl's frantic voice. Just with his foot on the step of his car the Senior Surgeon heard the cry and came speeding back up the long walk.
