But I don't want her doing them with my baby!" she broke down, and cried piteously.
"Sometimes," vouchsafed Winnie, "Miss Azalea would toss the baby into the bassinette, instead of laying her down.

She always pitched her straight in,--and baby liked it! You see, Miss Thorpe was very gentle with the child, and never missed her aim.

But I was fair frightened to watch her." "You ought not to have allowed it, Winnie," Patty said, severely.

"Why didn't you tell me, if you couldn't make Miss Thorpe stop it ?" "Miss Thorpe told me you wanted her to do it, ma'am.

She said it was good exercise for the child, and,--you know her father does it,--and,--begging your pardon,--Miss Thorpe is even more skilful than Mr.Farnsworth." "Well,--it's his baby!" defended Patty.
