It was all the result, in the first place, of a name. The name originated in a little family conversation some twenty years before.
"But what," said the doctor, "are you going to call the boy?"
"I dunno," said the father. "I dunno that we've made up our minds about nothing just yet."
"I've never heard anything like that," said the doctor. "A couple not having at least a dozen names picked for their first baby. You'd better decide right away. It's bad luck to let a child wait a long time without a name."
