Whenever he thought that Catrina's hatred needed stimulation he mentioned Etta's name. "There are other questions in my mind," he went on, "some of which you can answer, mademoiselle, if you care to." Catrina's face expressed no great willingness to oblige. "The Charity League," said De Chauxville, looking at her keenly; "I have always had a feeling of curiosity respecting it.
It is true that if the child is not to be over-stimulated upon the psychical side, we must see to it that his play, for the most part, is not dependent upon the participation of grown-up persons. In practice this excessive stimulation is the common fault with which we meet.
