CHAPTER 8
THE PRIVATE ARIVAL OF MISS JUNICKS BABY
Miss Junick awoke early the next morning; she was very excited thinking of her future baby, and she didn't get up until eight o'clock. She then walked downstairs to the baby's room, and got it up. When it was dressed she gave it its breakfast, but she didn't talk to it, as much as she did the other day, for she was too much excited. After breakfast, she found it's pram in the shed and took it out for it's walk.
At last she arrived home, and after giving the baby its dinner, she put it to it's afternoon sleep. When it woke up she took it out for another walk, and on her way she met the doctor's page boy coming along with a box under his arm. As she saw him approaching she left the pram without a word and ran along to meet him. When she got up to him, the boy raised his cap and said. "If you please, Miss, the doctor told me to bring you this box and he hopes the contents will do."
"Oh, thank you, thank you," said Miss Junick, as she took the parcel, and ran back to the pram with it.
She put the box in, and walked hastily home, for she wanted to open it. Soon she got to the house, and to her great horror, as she was going upstairs she met Mrs. Hose.
"Well, Miss Junick, have you been taking baby for a walk? she said, "and what is that box you have under your arm."
"It is only something I have bought, nothing to do with you," she muttered, as Mrs. Hose shut her bedroom door.
