“Daddy had only just got into bed when, from the next room, a small voice called, "Hello?"

"What do you want?" Daddy demanded, perhaps a trifle less patiently than usual.

There came a long silence. Then from a sleepy child came the reply, "I don't want anything 'cept I just want to know somebody is there."

That is the cry of million of hearts, millions who feel they can manage along through life as long as there is someone to share it with.”
