"He would call me 'Mamma'!" Then she hummed to herself, "'O Spring! Oh, I must have him!" Her hope became such an obsession that its irrationality did not strike her. It was so in her mind that she even spoke of it once to Mrs. Houghton. "I know you know?" she said; "Maurice told me he told you." Mary Houghton said, hesitatingly, "I think I know what you mean."
