Mrs.Dr.dear, I shall never, no never, forget the first sight I had of that infant, lying in that big soup tureen, rolled up in dirty flannel.

It is not often that Susan Baker is flabbergasted, but flabbergasted I was then, and that you may tie to.

For one awful moment I thought my mind had given way and that I was seeing visions.

Then thinks I, 'No, I never heard of anyone having a vision of a soup tureen, so it must be real at least,' and I plucked up confidence.
