And look in grandma’s lap.”

“Come here,” said grandma, with a smile,

From the rocking-chair, where she sat,

“God has sent you two little sisters,

What do you think of that?”

Bess looked at the babies a moment,

With their wee heads, yellow and brown,

And then to grandma soberly said:

“Which one are you going to drown?”
