"Oh, I know--but it seems as if they couldn't be quite FINISHED, you know--and they are, even to the tiny nails. And his hands--JUST look at his hands, Marilla." "They appear to be a good deal like hands," Marilla conceded. "See how he clings to my finger. I'm sure he knows me already. He cries when the nurse takes him away. Oh, Marilla, do you think--you don't think, do you--that his hair is going to be red?" "I don't see much hair of any color," said Marilla. "I wouldn't worry about it, if I were you, until it becomes visible." "Marilla, he HAS hair--look at that fine little down all over his head. Anyway, nurse says his eyes will be hazel and his forehead is exactly like Gilbert's." "And he has the nicest little ears, Mrs. Doctor, dear," said Susan. "The first thing I did was to look at his ears. Hair is deceitful and noses and eyes change, and you cannot tell what is going to come of them, but ears is ears from start to finish, and you always know where you are with them. Just look at their shape--and they are set right back against his precious head. You will never need to be ashamed of his ears, Mrs. Doctor, dear." |
