She looked good and kind and offered to get the babe christened, but after that, she said the cost would be she would have to keep it for her own. The husband answered, he must first ask his wife what she wished to do; but when he got home and told his story, the wife said, right out, “No!”The next day he went out and again, and still no-one would stand for the child.
