With his mother, at first, he would scarcely deign to have any communication. He said she was no longer one of the family. Why should he love her, as she had never been a mother to him?

Some atavistic trait of the protective instinct in man made me take a little more pains in caring for her than I might have taken with a man. "Doctor Weeks," were the first surprised words she murmured when I had bandaged a cut in her head and she came to. Weeks being my name Frederick Weeks I grunted and wondered just how much she'd had to do with my being here.
