But please 'm, oh /please 'm/ be sure and come!" She started down the street, then turned, as if suddenly remembering, and came back to the man still standing in the door, watching her with amused eyes. "Muther will be glad to have you come, too," she said, nodding gravely, "Mr. Mr. what did you say your name was?" "Maxwell." And again the hat was lifted. "Maxwell," she repeated.
"I don't know how old the United States is, but muther say being born when they was, and being named for Presidents, she's bound to teach us patriotics, and a party is the best way she knows of. She'd give it to me or Teeny if our birthdays stood for anything, but they don't. I'm ten, goin' on eleven, and ain't anybody yet remembered when my birthday comes."
"I hope you will come, too. I don't know whether muther knows you or not, but if you was Satan himself she would be glad to see you if'n you was a friend of Miss Mary Cary."

She used to be in my uncle's hospital. In all this big country she hasn't a relative." "They said her letters had Mrs. on them. Somebody at the post-office told them so, but her husband ain't ever been to see her, they said, and muther say she didn't think that sounded as righteous as it might, comin' from Mrs. Deford, whose husband don't seem to hanker after her neither, and "
Muther, art-critic and biographer, calls our attention to the similarity between Wagner's music and Bocklin's painting. While Wagner was "luring the colours of sound from music," Bocklin's "symphonies of colour streamed forth like a crashing orchestra," and he calls him the greatest colour-poet of the time.
