Miss Junick arrived in the town at about eight o'clock! She went straight to the Doctor's house and rang loudly at the bell. In a few minutes it was answered by a boy in buttons, who asked her what she wanted, and on her replying that she wanted to see the Doctor, she was shown into a neat little drawing room draped in green and red silk. Soon she heard the Doctor's bold step. He opened the door and in he came dressed in an evening suit. He bowed politely as he shut the door, saying--"Have I the pleasure of seeing Miss Junick the new and accomplished governess of Mrs. Hose?" "Yes--you have that pleasure," she said, getting up and bowing also. And what is it you have come to ask me, Miss Junick? he said preparing to sit down in his arm chair. Oh! she said, I have come to ask you where Mrs. Hose got her most lovely baby from. "Oh, said the Doctor, I gave it to her because she wished for one," "Do you think you could manage to give me a baby like him?" said Miss Junick. "Well, said the Doctor, the first question is, are you married? "No, I am not married, but I will marry if you can give me a baby like that--it would be worth marrying for." "Well! you cannot marry till someone asks you, and I cant because I have a wife of my own," said the Doctor. "Well! can I have a baby like it even if I don't marry?" said Miss Junick. "Oh well! I dont think so; Is that all you have come to ask me"? he said, in an aggravating tone, beginning to open the door for her. "Yes, that is all," said Miss Junick, "but you will try and find a baby for me, wont you? "Yes, but you say you are not married," said the Doctor. "Well! I must have made a mistake, and was not thinking of what I was saying, for I certainly am." "Oh yes, I will try and find one--Good evening Miss Junick," said the Doctor. "Good evening Doctor Brandon, said Miss Junick, and she shut the hall door behind her, and commenced to walk up the town. Dear dear it is nine oclock oh no half past I must hurry or Mrs. Hose will be cross and say I neglect the child and I dont only she will think so because I have it for too long only an hour and a half it is not at all long. At last she came to the house and she went strait to bed but she could not sleep for thinking of the baby which she was going to have. She did not get scolded in spite of all she said. CHAPTER 8 THE PRIVATE ARIVAL OF MISS JUNICKS BABY Miss Junick awoke early the next morning; she was very excited thinking of her future baby, and she didn't get up until eight o'clock. She then walked downstairs to the baby's room, and got it up. When it was dressed she gave it its breakfast, but she didn't talk to it, as much as she did the other day, for she was too much excited. After breakfast, she found it's pram in the shed and took it out for it's walk.
