"I have a letter too," she said, but she could scarcely speak;
she was trembling so, and it seemed ever so hard for her to

Duck Town was no business of hers; it told her to stay at home,
to mind her own affairs and to go on being a good mother to her
little boy. But one sentence, the one at the end, was quite
different.

"Tell me," it said, "for I need very much to know; tell me
whether David has not put my picture into your heart."
