Then he satdown before Mrs. Davis. He was not wholly awareof her yet. His mind was stillwrestling with Ewald'sarguments. Mrs. Davis sensed this detachment anditannoyed her."I have come to tell you, Mr. Meredith," she saidaggressively, "that I have decided to adopt Una.""To adopt Una!" Mr. Meredith gazed at herin the least.blankly, not understanding"Yes. I've been thinkingit over for some time. Ihave often thought of adopting a child, since my husband'sdeath. But it seemed so hard to get a suitableone. It isvery few children I would want to take intomy home. I wouldn't think of taking a home-childsome outcast of the slums in all probability. And thereishardly ever any other child to be got. One of thefishermen down at the harbour mouth died last falland left six youngsters. They tried to get me to takeone, but I soon gave them to understand I had no ideaof adopting trash like that. Their grandfather stolea horse.

Cecilia had clungto her baby until the gates of death shut between them.She had looked over the littledark head to her husband."Take good care of her, John," she had entreated."She is so small and sensitive. The others can fighttheir way but the world will hurt her. Oh, John, Idon't know what you and she are going to do. Youboth need me so much.
