Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby

"But she took Tom in her arms, and laid him in the softest place of all, and kissed him, and patted him, and talked to him, tenderly and low, such things as he had never heard before in his life; and Tom looked up into her eyes, and loved her, and loved, till he fell fast asleep from pure love.

And when he woke she was telling the children a story. [...] And he listened so long that he fell fast asleep again, and when he woke, the lady was nursing him still."
Charles Kingsley, The Water-Babies
