This Bear, the largest in the world, and measurin seventeen feet round the body, loves me as a mer-ther loves her che-ild!"
"Haven't seen Bobsy do one of those stunts since I was a che-ild!" Arms down, hands clasped, eyes growing bigger, face paling into snow, we watched her. To all but Vandeman, this was a more or less familiar performance. They took it rather as a matter of course. It was the Chinaman, coming in with the coffee tray, who seemed most strangely affected by it.
