Jack Snipe was close to his father, but it really wasn’t the same. Squirm as he might, the baby boy could not find where the milk faucet was on Maxim. He wasn’t pleased with having been tossed aside, but there was no real understanding of what was happening to their mother. While she suffered, Jack Snipe believed he suffered too. 

Leona was mostly sleeping. When she came around again it was not a pleasant experience. Her feeble little legs grabbed at him! Jack squealed - a sign of the end of the world.
