They returned to the bedroom. Just as the man was about to put the little woman on the bed, he suddenly stumbled slightly, barely managing to steady himself, and then gently placed the little woman on the bed.

He looked at the little woman with tenderness, lowered his weary head, and gently kissed her forehead.
His touch always seemed to calm the little woman somewhat. Looking at her rosy little face, he suddenly broke into a light smile.
