Harvey liked to gaze long at the little face, puzzled by its frequent gravity, delighted by its flashes of mirth. Syllables of baby-talk set him musing and philosophising. How fresh and young, yet how wondrously old!

Seemed like that was her right, somehow, after all thet had passed 'twixt him an' her; an' in all her baby-talk to him I took notice she'd bring the "mama" in constant. So of co'se I laid low, hopin' some day he 'd ketch it an' he did.

"'OH, MY BABY-TALK LADY!" cooed the terrible Jane. "Mercy!" Mrs. Baxter exclaimed. "Perhaps it's no wonder Mr. Parcher " She broke off abruptly, then inquired, "What did he do next, Jane?" "Next," said Jane, "he put the light out, an' I had to well, I just waited kind of squeeged up against the wall, an' he never saw me. He went on out to the back stairs, an' went down the stairs tiptoe, mamma.

But Rose had had a surfeit of baby sweetness, and, after Hilda's strong, beautiful boys, Fanny's little, delicate three months' baby was a disappointment to her, and she made no secret of her amusement at the devotion of Graeme, and the raptures of his mother over him. But now, as she took him in her arms, she astonished them with such eloquence of baby-talk as baby had never heard before.

But when the food was put before her, she could not touch it. Robert Ferguson, who almost lived at the Maitland house that week, told her, soothingly, that she really ought to go back to bed, at which she laughed with rough goodnature. "Don't talk baby-talk. I'm getting well. But I've been sick; I've had a scare; so I'm going to write a letter, in case Or here, you write it for me."

He tightened the arm that was about her a little, and began to talk clumsy baby-talk to her; her mother looked on with a pleased smile from her front door. The sun was setting, and a strange bright peace was on everything. Suddenly Allison's eyes were caught by an unaccustomed sight a crowd of people, men, women, and children, advancing down the road, slowly, steadily, and silently very silently.

Consequently there was irony in the baby-talk of her reply. "Me dood!" she said. "Me very dood, and listen carefully. Tell Lucia!" Georgie recounted the experiences. The table had rocked and tapped out names. The table had whirled round, though it was a very heavy table. Georgie had been told that he had two sisters, one of whom in Latin was a bear. "How did the table know that?" he asked.

Oh! you were under good discipline, and as you went fluttering up and down the room in your undress uniform, you not only prattled undignified baby-talk, but even tuned up your martial voices and tried to sing! "Rock-a-by baby in the treetop," for instance. What a spectacle for an Army of the Tennessee!

She gathered up her gown and sidled down affectedly over the remaining steps. "That's it," said Jane, joining her in the hall below. Mrs. Bates opened the front door herself. "You can take the choo-choo cars at Sixteenth, you know, and get off at Van Buren. Oh, dear; excuse my baby-talk; our little Reginald two months old, you know. I'll have Lottie home for that lunch of ours."
