By the time the doctor arrived at the farmhouse, things had 37 to a point where the doctor asked the husband to help him by holding a gas lantern up high in order to 38 the room.
Before long, the 39 mother delivered a healthy baby boy.

You may not always see it, 55 your light is shining through. And it’s one of your most attractive qualities!
