Robin

CHAPTER XXI
10/21

She watched a moment and then lifted the baby and stood up so that she might make more sure of the identity of a tall gentleman she saw approaching.

She only looked at him for a few seconds and then she left the parlour quickly and went to the back room where she had been aware of Mr.Jenkinson's voice rumbling amiably along as a background to her thoughts.
"Henrietta," she said, "his lordship's coming down the street and he's coming here.

Please take the baby." "Give him to me," said Jenkinson and it was he who took him with quite an experienced air.
Henrietta was agitated.
"Oh, my goodness! Aunt Sarah Ann! I feel all shaky.

I never saw a lord--and he's a marquis, isn't it?
I shan't know what to do." "You won't have to do anything," answered Dowie.
