' '' ` Dear me , am I so full of germs ? ' said Irene plaintively . I knew she was making fun of me and I began to boil inside -- but outside no sign of a simmer . I was determined I would not scrap with Irene . `` Then she began to bounce Jims . Now , Morgan says bouncing is almost the worst thing that can be done to a baby . I never allow Jims to be bounced .

Talk of gratitude ! `` I admit that smile made a big difference in him . Two of the dearest dimples came out in his cheeks and his big brown eyes seemed full of laughter .
