Oh, Mother!" he whispered. "Do you really mean it? Where shall we go?" "'We," she repeated. "Now I do misunderstand you." "Why, Mother! What do you mean? Of course we shall go together!"

I am proud of what I am. Don't misunderstand me. I am a Portman! Her blood is in me her mind, her soul. But I am not all Portman. Suppose, David suppose that my father were to come back some day.
