So Mr. Caleb Chatterleigh went to his office, inwardly cogitating on the insane folly of Mr. Sylvester, who actually thoughs he had the finest baby extant. You see it was Mr. Chatterleigh's first baby. The illusion had not worn off yet --the charm yet hung like a golden haze over the nursery horizon. And as for any oue else presuming to suppose for a single [instant that his offspring could equal that velvet headed, azure-eyed nestling, why, Mr. Chatterleigh hadn't any patience with such arrogance and vanity.
