But he was very light to carry, she re-sumed, intent upon her work, and his fatherloved him so, that it was no trouble—notrouble. And there is your father at thedoor! She hurried out to meet him ; and little Bob in his comforter —■ he had need of it, poor fellow—came in. His tea was ready for him on the hob, and they all tried who should help him to it most. Then the two young Cratchits got upon his knees and laid, each child, a little cheek against his face, as if they said, Dont mind it, father. Dont be grieved ! Bob was very cheerful with them, and spokepleasantly to all the family. He looked at thework upon the table, and praised the industryand speed of Mrs. Cratchit and the girls. 136 KALEVIM
