"Nothing is easier than that, Mrs.Hopkins," he said.

"I will give you two very pretty names that I think will please you and other folks.

They're new names, too.

If they shouldn't like to keep them, they can change them before they're christened, if they ever are.

Isosceles will be just the name for the boy, and I'm sure you won't find a prettier name for the girl in a hurry than Helminthia." Mrs.Hopkins was delighted with the dignity and novelty of these two names, which were forthwith adopted.
