"Mary, it's an awful risk Eleanor will never stand up to it!" "I think she will." "My dear, when it comes to children, you with your stars! get down to the elemental straighter than I do; I know that! And I admit that it is terrible for Maurice's child to be scrapped, as he will be if he is brought up by this impossible person.
