"Oh, you little darling boys! How I love you! You are just like your handsome father." And Marie Doll hugged her children to her and began to rock them.
"She is crazy," said Teddy Bear. "Marie would never give in if she were in her right mind, I know."
"She is in love," said Paper Doll. "She has found a master, and some women love to have a master."
"You women are queer creatures," said Teddy Bear. "I shall never understand you."
"You are not supposed to understand us. You are supposed to love us," said Paper Doll.
