Let me see, what was the last name--Percy! Do you like it ?" With an effort, Susie said, slowly, and in almost a whisper: "My--my father's name was Gerald:--will--will that do ?" "Oh, the very thing!" cried Celia, earnestly.

"Gerald.

Of course, you will call him after his grandfather.

Do decide on that, Mrs .-- Morton," she added, with a sudden nervousness.
"I'll call him Gerald, if you like," Susie said, phlegmatically.

"Her ladyship was saying that he ought to be christened." "Of course," said Celia; "and I'd like to be his godmother, if you'll let me ?" Susie swung round, her lips parted, her brows bent, and her eyes fixed on Celia's upturned face.
"You!" she said, as if she were panting.
