Emily。〃

〃Nay; thats heavy…laden; if you like;〃 he answered。

〃You see!〃 cried the woman。 〃Hes that pig…headed!〃

〃And shes so nice; and she laughs; and she hasnt even got a

name;〃 crooned Ursula to the child。

〃Let me hold her;〃 she added。

He yielded her the child; that smelt of babies。 But it had

such blue; wide; china blue eyes; and it laughed so oddly; with

such a taking grimace; Ursula loved it。 She cooed and talked to

it。 It was such an odd; exciting child。

〃Whats your name?〃 the man suddenly asked of her。

〃My name is Ursula……Ursula Brangwen;〃 she replied。

〃Ursula!〃 he exclaimed; dumbfounded。

〃There was a Saint Ursula。 Its a very old name;〃 she added

hastily; in justification。

〃Hey; mother!〃 he called。

There was no answer。

〃Pem!〃 he called; 〃cant yhear?〃

〃What?〃 came the short answer。

〃What about Ursula?〃 he grinned。

〃What about what?〃 came the answer; and the woman

appeared in the doorway; ready for bat。

〃Ursula……its the lasss name there;〃 he said;

gently。

The woman looked the young girl up and down。 Evidently she

was attracted by her slim; graceful; new beauty; her effect of

white elegance; and her tender way of holding the child。

〃Why; how do you write it?〃 the mother asked; awkward now she

was touched。 Ursula spelled out her name。 The man looked at the

woman。 A bright; confused flush came over the mothers face; a

sort of luminous shyness。

〃Its not a mon name; is it!〃 she exclaimed;

excited as by an adventure。

〃Are you goin to have it then?〃 he asked。

〃Id rather have it than Annabel;〃 she said; decisively。

〃An Id rather have it than Gladys Emler;〃 he replied。

There was a silence; Ursula looked up。

〃Will you really call her Ursula?〃 she asked。
