"I know that's the baby's grandmother and grandfather," said Dorothy positively, and no one had any other opinion to offer. Mr.
They had never played together she and the little daughter for whom she had toiled and sacrificed. Landry's voice broke in upon her meditations: "I should like to meet Cecily."
