From very early days he crowed and chuckled and was a most cheerful baby. Left alone in his cradle he would be quietly happy for hours; he slept a great deal, and only announced his waking from sleep by a series of delighted chuckles, which brought his mother running to his side to hoist him in her arms.
He must have been about a year old when I first saw him. Maggie intruded [39]him on no one, though people said that if any one admired her baby it made her their lover for life. I happened to be in the Island for a wh. . . Read More
