"What has happened?" she gasped.
"Baby has opened her eyes," said Thora.
Aunt Margret dropped to a chair to breathe.
"They're blue like mine. Oscar's are brown, and Helga's--hers are grey. But perhaps baby's eyes will change their color! Do children's eyes change their color, Anna?"
"Sometimes they do," said Anna. "Blue eyes sometimes become brown----"
"Never grey?"
"Not that I know of," said Anna.
"I'm so glad baby is like me," said Thora, and she gazed down at the child with looks of wonder and love. Then her delicious selfishness took another turn and she said:
"Mother, do you not think Oscar has slept long enough now?"
"Doctor Olesen said he was to sleep until to-morrow," replied Anna.
