So the sixty-nine maidens mixed a hundredweight of millet seed with a hundredweight of sand, and giving it to Rasalu, bade him separate the seed from the sand. Then he bethought him of the cricket, and drawing the feeler from his pocket, thrust it into the fire.
And the keen relish with which she followed all these nursery details marked her fitness for the post of pro-mother so distinctly that it made nurse look at her more than once, and think also made her say, as a feeler "Law, miss! what a pity you've not had one of your own!"
