And right in the east a full moon wuz sailin', lookin' down tenderly on Josiah and me and the babe and Jonesville and the world. And the comet sot there up in the sky like a silent and shinin' mystery. The babe's eyes looked big and dreamy and thoughtful. She has got the beautifulest eyes, little Samantha Joe has.
Well, I come here, and everything is different ideals of beauty, people absurdly holding for flesh on their bones, for example numbers, language, institutions, everything. Of course, it puzzles me a little, but see the value I ought to be to the world, having a mature mind, yet one as clean of preconceptions and prejudice as a new-born babe's." "Oh, so that is why you could see that I'm not "
"Maybe hearing it," he half-heartedly said, "may correct your aunts' judgment." The aunt shook her head in a babe's despair. "No, we've tri' that." Her smile was tearful. "Ah, chérie, you both muz' pardon. Laz' night we was both so af-raid about that, an' of a so affegtionate curio-zitie, that we was compel' to read that manuscrip' through!
Their sole nourishment is their mother's milk, varied now and then by that of some other woman, if the mother is obliged to leave the babe for a half day or so. When the babe's first teeth appear it has a slight change of diet; its attendant now and then feeds it cooked rice, thoroughly masticated and mixed with saliva.
She underrated Casey's knowledge of minerals; or perhaps she wanted to test it, you never can tell what a woman really has in the back of her mind. Casey sat there eating a sour-dough biscuit of his own making, and staring at the steep wall of the canyon because he was afraid to stare at the Little Woman, and so his uncannily keen eye saw a bit of rock no larger than Babe's fist.
He always discouraged the Babe's attempts at raillery. "The two Little Furry Ones," he continued, after pressing down the tobacco in his pipe, "were born in a dry, warm, roomy den in the bank, under the roots of an old birch that slanted out over the water. The front door was deep under water.
It was no more likely to be used than a babe's swaddling clothes, but it looked tragic, and I saw that young Cheverny was bent upon being as tragic as possible, under the circumstances. At the appointed time we were at the rendezvous. The Temple gardens were remote and retired, and at this hour of the night were perfectly deserted, not even a watchman being about.
Henderson waited for Uncle Denny's "Go ahead with the story," then he began sadly: "Algernon Dove was Babe's real name. He was an English remittance-man here in the early days. The Smithsonian folks came down here and wanted to get someone to go out with them to collect desert specimens, rattlers, Gila monsters, hydrophobia skunks and such trash.
But these are your problems and my problems and the problems of the men who have found the strength or the fear not to die rich. The babe's mother, who had never known else, could not know that her cellar was fetid; she only cried out in her anguish and hated vaguely in her heart.
"And what are the names of the Fortunate Isles, Lo! duty and love and a large content; And these are the Isles of the watery miles That God let down from the firmament. Lo! duty and love and a true man's trust, Your forehead to God and your feet in the dust: Lo! duty and love and a sweet babe's smiles, And these, O friends, are the Fortunate Isles."
