"Well then, you have a couple of extra hands for the trip."  He smiled.  He had been raised to be friendly and helpful to ladies in need.  It was just how things were done with his family. 

"You have family meeting you there?"  He asked, wondering how the young woman was dealing with two babies on her own.  Surely, there was someone there to help her.

"Are they identical?  What are their names?"  He asked peeking again into the baskets.  "In case they fret while you rest.  It might be good for me to call them by name."
