Already the mother, deprived as she was of food, could afford her babe but little nourishment, and the restlessness of the poor innocent betrayed its hunger Meanwhile the two other children awoke, and crying, asked for bread. On hearing this, James became desperate Smiting his forehead with his clenched hand : he hurried to and fro across chamber, exclaiming: 'Thero is wealth enough around us superfluous- wealth; the unfeeling rich revel in abundance, and prodigally waste more than would suffice lo keep these poor babes from starving.
