There‚Äôs a doctor‚Äôs bill, and this will just about pay it.‚ÄĚ Pa Sloane drove back home, with the sorrel mare still unshod, the baby, and the baby‚Äôs meager bundle of clothes. The baby did not trouble him much; it had become well used to strangers in the past two months, and promptly fell asleep on his arm; but Pa Sloane did not enjoy that drive; at the end of it he mentally saw Ma Sloane. Ma was there, too, waiting for him on the back door-step as he drove into the yard at sunset. Her face, when she saw the baby, expressed the last degree of amazement. ‚ÄúPa Sloane,‚ÄĚ she demanded, ‚Äúwhose is that young one, and where did you get it?‚ÄĚ ‚ÄúI--I--bought it at the auction, Ma,‚ÄĚ said Pa feebly.
