After an awkward pause Mrs. Barker rose again.
Barker lifted his firstborn with proud skillfulness, but that sagacious infant evidently knew when he was comfortable, and in a paroxysm of objection caught his father's curls with one fist, while with the other he grasped Mrs. Horncastle's brown braids and brought their heads into contact. Upon which humorous situation Norah, the nurse, entered. "It's all right, Norah," said Mrs.
She will take dear little Sta with her it is only right, poor girl; but she will let me come and see him. She will be a sister to us, dearest. Courage! All will come right yet. Trust to me." An hysterical laugh came to Mrs. Horncastle's lips and then stopped.
