In the first years of my marriage, before the selfish mother-thing was developed in me, I handed a good deal of my capital over to him, for his work, his various projects; in order to leave him as free for these projects as possible, I educated you and Eddy that, too, came out of my capital. And the building of the house in Vermont swallowed a good deal of money." Imogen's blush had deepened.
"Chase that skirt, over there, please she makes too much noise to suit me!" But for once John Flint wasn't a friend to a bluejay he uttered an exclamation of sorrow and dismay. "My nest!" he cried tragically. "My beautiful nest with the four eggs, that I've been watching day by day! And the little mother-thing that knew me, and let me touch her, and feed her, and wasn't afraid of me!
It was the uncontrollable woman in her, the mother-thing, belonging to the first woman that ever was-protection of the weak, hovering love for the suffering, the ministering spirit. Since Ingolby had been brought to the house in the pines, Madame Bulteel and herself, with Jim, had nursed him through the Valley of the Shadow.
We should have bled you, too!" "Oh, no, you wouldn't," Valerie said quickly. "I've too much of the instinctive, selfish mother-thing in me to have allowed myself to be bled for cripples and clubs and artistic boys. I don't care about them a bit compared to you and Eddy. But this is all beside the mark. The question now is, What are we to do?
Why, they know she knows! . . . Master-mahout!" he called in brave tones that trembled, "I am Dickson Sahib's son of the grain-foods department " "We know you, Sahib, salaam!" interrupted the master-mahout, with a smile. "Is it not the unwritten-law that the great 'mother-thing' shall be obeyed?" the boy quavered. "It is the unwritten-law, Sahib; and we will not impose our will on her.
She had passed the snares of desire immune. She had turned away from fabulous wealth. She had denied princes and kings. She smiled on all men alike with that smile mothers have for little children." "She was a mother-thing," murmured Cadman. The Doctor turned, questioning: "A mother-thing? Yes, probably. But she led the singing women like a super-being incarnate.
After an interval he clenched his hand upon his stick and struck the ground. "Nothing's got any business to break up a nest! I'd rather sit up all night and watch than see what I've just seen and listen to that mother-thing calling to Something that's far-off and stone deaf and can't hear nor heed.

You remember, Skag Sahib, I told you about the 'mother-thing' if anyone starts a fight, she breaks it up with her chain; better than any two or three fighting males. Two tuskers just wake Nut Kut up!" Then he stood staring at the female with her chain getting red in the face as he spoke: "Oh, I say! She doesn't want to be loaded; and she knows!
It is this, there is no sign of what she means; the masters are all quiet to-day there is no warning of tamasha." The master-mahout spoke with grave consideration; but just as he finished, the "mother-thing" wheeled into place and went down to take her load. "Cheer up, son, I guess it's all right," comforted Skag. "It's all right if Nut Kut doesn't come," said the boy, whimsically.
