Excerpt from Little Mother to the Others The four children had rather peculiar names. The eld est girl was called Iris, which, as everybody ought to know, means rainbow - indeed, there was an Iris spoken of in the old Greek legends, who was supposed to be Hera's chief messenger, and whenever a rainbow appeared in the sky it was said that Iris was bringing down a message from Hera.
