You will readily believe that we are all very happy, only we’re a little worn out for want of rest, as he keeps us awake all night; but this we must expect, nurse says, for the first six or eight months.
"There’s a time for all things, and, in my opinion, she’s had about all the queer tastes that she can absorb for to-day.
