Sickness or accident has hit the children of such families, and the death of a little one has brought irreparable grief.
Please do your best to make sure that no other family loses a little one.
They cannot obtain any support at all for the little one.
Everyone looked forward to it, and when it did come poor father did not have to stand awaiting admission to see his little one.
He may say that this is a housemaid's baby, only a little one, and that there is nothing very much to worry about.
It may be all right perhaps when it is "only a little one", but surely that is not so with today's huge infant.
No one thought the little one should have to leave college.
