Eugene returned Collin's smile a little sheepishly.  "I didn't
tell Daphne, either -- my wife, that is -- till just before
Gideon was born.  That's my oldest boy.  I thought there might be

"But as it turned out, there wasn't anything of =that= sort till
Cyrus, here, turned up."  He beamed at his youngest son in
obvious pride.
