All at once the child's face altered; he stood perfectly still, and waited for his mother to come to him. Lali had not spoken, and she did not speak until, lifting the child, she came the length of the billiard-table and faced them. "I beg your pardon," she said, "for intruding; but Richard has led us a dance, and I suppose the mother may go where her child goes."
There may have been other, perhaps better reasons, but this was enough; he did not come of suicidal stock. He must live for this child's sake, at any rate; and yet, oh, yet, who could tell with what thoughts he looked upon her?
"Did you know that our amiable Professor shews his devotion to you, by devotion to your protégée?" she asked one day, when she met Hadria returning from the Priory with the two boys, whose holidays were not yet over. "I saw him coming out of the child's cottage this morning, and she shewed me the toy he had given her." "He is very fond of her, I know," said Hadria.
When is the child's blood likely to be most loaded with the waste caused by growth? How can we best help the boy or girl to clear the system of this waste? What mistakes are we making in this vital matter? What practical suggestions would you give to our parents, teachers, and communities to help them safeguard their children during dangerous periods, and keep their pioneer blood clean and pure?
This spiritual fight tore the man of action, racked him limb from limb. Oh! to have been able to settle it, bare-armed and abreast of a living antagonist in the child's play of merely physical strife.
"Only the basket, then. And, Laura!" her mother followed her out of the marquee "don't on any account " "What mother?" No, better not put such ideas into the child's head! "Nothing! Run along." It was just growing dusky as Laura shut their garden gates. A big dog ran by like a shadow. The road gleamed white, and down below in the hollow the little cottages were in deep shade.
The operation is begun about a month after birth, by rubbing the child's head with grease and soot, and then putting on a small cap of braided pandanus fibre, which is very tight and allows the head to develop only in the direction of the crown. When the cap becomes too tight, it is cut off, and another, a little larger, put on, until the parents are satisfied with the shape of the child's head.
It needed but a single glance at her flushed face in its aureole of yellow hair to recognize the likeness to Jimmy, although, added to that strange refinement produced by suffering, there was a spiritual exaltation in the child's look possibly from delirium that awed and frightened him; an awful feeling that he could not lie to this hopeless creature took possession of him, and his step faltered.
If you are to have the trouble and care of bringing up little Jack, who but you should reap the reward?" "I shall expect, Mr. Goldencalf, that you will furnish the means to provide for the child's wants." "Of that, sir, it is unnecessary to speak," interrupted my ancestor, both promptly and proudly.
Hence it was mere child's play for him to pick up the track of top-boots, as well as the traces that had been made by the displacement of grasses and thorns. Meantime the distant shots were continued at intervals, until Holden counted twenty in all. Poor boy!
