He is just as good as gold  so patient and loving. Yesterday that scamp Quentin said to Mademoiselle: "If only I had _Archie's_ nature, and _my_ head, wouldn't it be great?" HE IS JUST AS GOOD AS GOLD SO PATIENT AND LOVING YESTERDAY THAT SCAMP QUINTON SAID TO MADEMOISELLE IF ONLY I HAD ARCHIE'S NATURE AND MY HEAD WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT
I simply must attend to my work during these closing hours of Congress (I have worked each day steadily up to half past seven and also in the evening); and only see Archiekins for twenty minutes or a half hour before dinner. The poor little fellow likes to have me put my hands on his forehead, for he says they smell so clean and soapy! Last night he was very sick, but this morning he is better, and Dr. Rixey thinks everything is going well. Dr. Lambert is coming on this afternoon to see him. Ethel, who is away at Philadelphia, will be sent to stay with the Rixeys. Quentin, who has been exposed somewhat to infection, is not allowed to see other little boys, and is leading a career of splendid isolation among the ushers and policemen. Since I got back here I have not done a thing except work as the President must during the closing days of a session of Congress. Mother was, fortunately, getting much better, but now of course is having a very hard time of it nursing darling little Archie.
