She seems to say: "It is he.” She takes him to her without embarrassment, her gestures are easy and MCOMtraiilfii- and, folded in her arms, Ae baby finds a place exactly to his measure—a soft, warm nest made expressly for him, in which he sleeps in happiness. It really seems as if women had served a mys terious apprenticeship to maternity. Men, on the contrary, are plunged into deep trouble on Ae birth of an infant.
