"No, dear, you set it down. I don't want none," said Hetty tenderly. She steadied the bowl on its way back, and 'Melia, relinquishing the claims of entertainment, picked into her small mouth with a swift avidity. "Clever little creatur'!" Hetty continued, in a frank aside. But Grandsir had not heard. "How old was Willard?" he inquired, pausing to test the mass his mortar held.
