He obeyed, talking whimsically to his pets as he went. “You have, you have, dear baby! I’ll be your mother, and you can call me ‘mamma’ as Billy does.” The magic name won the day. Bess was ever dreaming of the land of mystery, whose pictured daughters of old she resembled; and the chance to masquerade in its atmosphere lured her. Yet Billy despaired when he thought of the mathematics; Jimmy— With the thought of Jimmy the hot blood rose to Billy’s cheek, and he was glad the room was dark.
