She wanted him in there for company.” Before the doctor picked up the baby, he put a yellow paper bag down on Thea’s coverlid and winked at her.

She is only a poor little crooked wrinkled old woman, who comes at Christmas time into everybody's house, who peeps into every cradle, turns back every coverlid, drops a tear on the baby's white pillow, and goes away very, very sorrowful.
