If a man shows delight in the love of his dog, you will say to yourself: "Any dog will like any man. But there are few that could get a baby to like them in six days as that thin Jimmy likes me."
She's rather a pet, isn't she?" The younger Castletons, from curly-headed Constable, known familiarly as 'Cooney, to lovely three-year-old Baby Gabriel, were beautiful children, and looked particularly picturesque in holland play-overalls embroidered with saxe-blue. Mr.
