Pinky was not one inclined to put things off.
Thought and act were always close together.

Scarcely had the woman been gone ten minutes, before, bundling the baby in a shawl, she started off to find a safer hiding-place.

This time she was more careful about the character and habits of the person selected for a nurse, and the baby's condition was greatly improved.

The woman in whose charge she placed it was poor, but neither drunken nor depraved.

Pinky arranged with her to take the care of it for two dollars a week, and supplied it with clean and comfortable clothing.
