Then he turned back to Iris: "Mrs. Cook, whom you saw earlier, will come and take soiled cloths and bring new ones for her nappies every two days." He thought of what else to say. "Oh, and she'll be baptized here at home this afternoon, so if you could kindly bring her down then. Otherwise, she's in your care."
