The child’s heart beat stiflingly; yet she did not cry out; she thought self-control would win her more favor than tears. “But you work hard, and he should do his part.

Now he dropped his towel, caught up his mother and raced with her around the room. He was so strong that she was almost helpless in his grasp..
