your baby。〃
They were simple words; but they were spoken in such a way that
they meant a good deal。 Pomona knew what they meant。 Her eyes
sparkled; and as she went out; I saw her hug her child to her
breast; and cover it with kisses; and then; through the window; I
could see her running to the barn and Jonas。
〃Now; then;〃 said Euphemia; closing the door and coming toward me;
with one of her old smiles; and not a trace of preoccupation about
her; 〃I suppose you expect me to devote myself to you。〃
I did expect it; and I was not mistaken。
Since these events; a third baby has come to Rudder Grange。 It is
not Pomona's; nor was it brought from New Dublin。 It is named
after a little one; who died very young; before this story was
begun; and the strangest thing about it is that never; for a
moment; does it seem to come between Euphemia and myself。
