I never saw such a look on a child's face," answered Annie, admiring her own infant, and with good reason, far more than the artistic butterfly.
Then the butterfly came fluttering down, and, instead of returning to the infant, was apparently attracted towards the artist's hand.
With a wavering movement, and emitting a tremulous radiance, the butterfly struggled, as it were, towards the infant, and was about to alight upon his finger; but while it still hovered in the air, the little child of strength, with his grandsire's sharp and shrewd expression in his face, made a snatch at the marvellous insect and compressed it in his hand.
