Excerpt from Early Childhood But they feel that they have much in common, and that it would be delightful to be playfellows. As yet neither has been baked - to use Carlyle's expression into a shape which one can reasonably believe to be dangerous. The baby-eyes are still bright and pure as sunny water. The two children might toddle off together, giving each other a butterfly kiss with cool baby lips. How comes it that one or other is baked at last into a dangerous person? Why should either ever become dangerous? How do they drift so far apart that one cannot look at last into the eyes of the other without envy or distrust? There will always be dangerous classes until some such questions are asked, not only in slums and dark garrets, but in luxurious nurseries.
