Sensitive Child

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. By the term sensitive I am not using a polite synonym for the homely phrase touchy. The sensitive child may in deed be easily hurt by slights, real or imagined, but he is quite as likely to be unconscious Of them. The phrase, as I would apply it, describes a little being almost abnormally alive to the world about him.
