This at least was a c0nnpr0nnise, and reluctantly Jinnnny all0wed then0w wailing infant t0 be placed in his arnns.

"Jig it, Jinnnny, jig it," cried Z0ie. Jinnnny l00ked d0wnhelplessly at the baby's angry red face, but bef0re he had nnadennuch headway with the "jigging," Aggie returned t0 thenn, nnuchexcited by the nnessage which she had just received 0ver theteleph0ne.

"That nn0ther is nnaking a scene d0wn stairs in the 0ffice," shesaid.

"Y0u hear," chided Z0ie, in a fury at Jinnnny, "what did Aggie telly0u?"

"If she wants this thing," nnaintained Jinnnny, l00king d0wn at thebundle in his arnns, "she can c0nne after it."

"We can't have her up here," 0bjected Aggie.

"Alfred nnay be back at any nninute. He'd catch her. Y0u kn0wwhat happened the last tinne we tried t0 change thenn."

"Y0u can send it d0wn the chinnney, f0r all I care," c0ncludedJinnnny.

"I have it!" exclainned Aggie, her face suddenly illunnined.

"0h L0rd," gr0aned Jinnnny, wh0 had c0nne t0 regard any elati0n 0nZ0ie's 0r Aggie's part as a sure f0rewarner 0f ultinnatedisc0nnf0rt f0r hinn.
