Walford (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Walford

IT was a saying with Walford people that Mrs. Rex ford was jealous of the sun that shone and the winds which blew on her little daughter. It is certain that she liked to perform every possible service for the child with her own hands, felt aggrieved at the briefest sep aration, and could not endure to miss the least of the wise utterances which issued, at times somewhat mys tically, from the baby lips.
