That would seem only known to Providence at this moment. I judge it might be due to humanity to look at its face. (LITTLE MAN: It's sucking my' finger. There, there--nice little thing--there!) I would surmise in your leisure moments you have created babies, sir? (LITTLE MAN: Oh! no--indeed, no.) Dear me!--That is a loss. (Addressing himself to the carriage at large) I think we may esteem ourselves fortunate to have this little stranger right here with us. Demonstrates what a hold the little and weak have upon us nowadays. The colonel here--a man of blood and iron--there he sits quite calm next door to it. (He sniffs) Now, this baby is rather chastening--that is a sign of grace, in the colonel--that is true heroism.
