"How my head does ache, to be sure," he continued; "the sound of those bells makes it worse!"
Molly was silent for a moment, then she said:
"Do you know what they say, father?"
"They don't say anything, child, but just keep on that incessant chiming."
"Oh, yes, they do!" the child insisted. "Miss Morris told me what they said."
"What is it, dearie?" her mother asked, coming to the door, and taking the baby out of Molly's arms as she spoke. "Is it the bells you're speaking of?"
"Yes, mother; don't you hear what they are saying?"
Mrs. Lethbridge listened a moment, to satisfy the child, and shook her head.
"Father, don't you hear?" appealing to him again.
"No, I'm sure I don't!" he said, laughing.
