The French officer conducted his guest into a garden and presented him to his wife, an engaging and beautiful woman, sitting with Mrs. Taunton in a whimsical old-fashioned pavilion. His daughter, her fair young face beaming with joy, came running to embrace him; and there was a boy-baby to tumble down among the orange trees on the broad steps, in making for his father's legs.
There's nothin' like race day to get a dame goin'. Her eyes are shinin' 'n' her cheeks are pink, 'n' she don't look more'n sixteen. "'Why, Boy-baby, she says to the colt, 'you've grown to be such a wonderful person I can't believe it's you! The colt knows it's race day 'n' he don't pay much attention to her.
The unknown uncle kissed him affectionately, and said some civil things about the colour of his eyes, and the plumpness of his limbs "quite a Rubens baby," and so on, but did not consider a boy-baby an especially wonderful creature, having had two boy-babies of his own, and not having particularly wanted them.
Kadlu, Kotuko, Amoraq, and the boy-baby who kicked about in Amoraq's fur hood and chewed pieces of blubber all day, were as happy together as any family in the world.

"Or Peter will. Tell me quick!" "She brought " Bernard was speaking softly into her ear "a little boy-baby. Think of that! A present straight from God!" "Oh, how lovely!" Tessa gazed at him with shining eyes.
He is not likely to do so if she has a boy-baby, but until she has, her position as a wife is not very secure. These bad marriage customs lead to much unhappiness, and prevent the women of Egypt from doing so much good as the women of some other lands are able to do.
Before the Sun and the Moon had their quarrel, they journeyed together through the sky, and the sky was not far above the earth, as now, but it lay low down. The Fate of the Moon's Baby The Sun wanted the Moon to have a boy-baby so that it would be like its father. The Moon too hoped to give birth to a boy. But when the child was born, it was a girl.
'That's a good name. "'Very well, Boy-baby, she says to the colt. 'I christen thee Salvation, with this lump of sugar. That's a fine name! Always bear it bravely. She puts her arms around the colt's neck 'n' kisses him on the nose. Then she hands me the lead strap 'n' steps aside. 'Good-by, and good luck! she says.
The old woman followed the goat into the cave and then, what should she see but the animal giving her milk to a little boy-baby, whilst on the ground near by lay the sad remains of the baby's dead mother! Wondering and frightened, the old woman thought at last that this little baby might be a son to her in her old age, and that he would grow up and in time to come be her comfort and support.
