Jezebel’s Daughter

CHAPTER XVI
16/22

Teething, and convulsions, and that sort of thing.

As you are all going out for the evening, you don't want me, after I have put your bedrooms tidy.

I can go to my daughter for an hour or two, I suppose--and Joseph (who isn't of much use, heaven knows) can take care of the house." Mr.Keller, refreshing his memory of the opera of the night (Gluck's "Armida") by consulting the book, nodded, and went on with his reading.
Mr.Engelman said, "Certainly, my good soul; give my best wishes to your daughter for the baby's health." Mother Barbara grunted, and hobbled out of the room.
I looked at the letters.

Two were for me--from my aunt and Fritz.

One was for Mr.Keller--addressed also in the handwriting of my aunt.
