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。
