Afterwards, with three other-just- chilitened bables, they were taken to 'the' Sunday school next door, where an excifed choir of boys and girls song them a special hymn. Then there was a good time for the whole family with a monster christening coke at home for sverybody, that is, except the quads, packed off to bed with four bottles of milk —and no whimpers.
