"Do you know what to call this little girl, Lettie?" asked Leveson, touching Josie's shoulder.
"Miss Josie," promptly responded Lettie.
"No, only 'Josie,' because she is your sister. And what are you to call me?"
Lettie attempted no answer.
"You must call me Leveson. It is a hard name, isn't it? But you will soon learn how. And this lady?"
"I dunno," said Lettie.
"Won't you call me 'mother,' darling?" asked Mrs. Therlock.
But Lettie thought of another, and at once said—
"No."
"'Mamma,' then, sweet one."
