1 I'd be ten times as sweet to make love to as that dreamy baby.
2 She touched the thought, "It would be sweet to have a baby of my own."
3 She was happily domestic when Kennicott sat by her on the floor, to watch baby make faces.
4 Then the baby was born, without unusual difficulty: a boy with straight back and strong legs.
5 In front of it a sagging woman with tight-drawn hair, and a baby bedraggled, smeary, glorious-eyed.
6 She brings out a graham cracker which she feeds to a baby lying flat on a seat and wailing hopelessly.
7 The presence of the baby had made her take Gopher Prairie and the brown house seriously, as natural places of residence.
8 For that autumn she knew that a baby was coming, that at last life promised to be interesting in the peril of the great change.
9 In courtship days Kennicott had shown her a photograph of Nels Erdstrom's baby and log cabin, but she had never seen the Erdstroms.
10 Then, for three years which passed like one curt paragraph, she ceased to find anything interesting save the Bjornstams and her baby.
11 They appeared unannounced, before the baby was born, took their welcome for granted, and immediately began to complain of the fact that their room faced north.
12 Carol herself had the baby, a larger house to care for, all the telephone calls for Kennicott when he was away; and she read everything, while Vida was satisfied with newspaper headlines.
13 She felt that willy-nilly she was being initiated into the assembly of housekeepers; with the baby for hostage, she would never escape; presently she would be drinking coffee and rocking and talking about diapers.
14 She admitted that Carol seemed to have affection and immaculate care for the baby, but she began to identify herself now with Kennicott, and in this phase to feel that she had endured quite too much from Carol's instability.
15 She marveled at the perfection of the miniature hands as noisily as did Kennicott, she was overwhelmed by the trust with which the baby turned to her; passion for him grew with each unpoetic irritating thing she had to do for him.
16 Against the protest of Kennicott and Vida she mortgaged the association by sending to Minneapolis for a baby spotlight, a strip light, a dimming device, and blue and amber bulbs; and with the gloating rapture of a born painter first turned loose among colors, she spent absorbed evenings in grouping, dimming-painting with lights.
17 She alternately detested herself for not appreciating the kindly women, and detested them for their advice: lugubrious hints as to how much she would suffer in labor, details of baby-hygiene based on long experience and total misunderstanding, superstitious cautions about the things she must eat and read and look at in prenatal care for the baby's soul, and always a pest of simpering baby-talk.
