But though his mother might be dead, yet Hannah knew that so nicely dressed a child must have relations who would miss him and take means to have him returned to them.  They would put up rewards; the police would get directions to search for the child.  She must therefore on no account put his nice, dainty clothes on him, she must fold them up and put them carefully out of sight.  Another woman would have pawned the little things, but Hannah did not care to make money by this child who had come in the place of her own.  She put the dainty blue frock, the white pinafore, the little shoes and socks, into a box which was well hidden away under the bed; then while Roy still slept she slipped out, and purchased at a pawnbroker's for a shilling, a set of little garments such as her own child, were he alive, would wear.
