"Wathemah go, too," he said, reproachfully, looking at Kenneth with marked disapproval.
"Do you love your teacher?" asked Kenneth. He, too, liked the child.
Wathemah nodded.
"Would you like to be her boy, and live with her always?"
Wathemah placed one arm about his teacher's neck, and said softly:
"Wathemah's mother!"
Kenneth laughed again, and declared he was jealous.
Then Esther told the little fellow she would come back to Gila and get him, and he should then go to live with her always.
"Take me now," he urged.
"No, dear," she said.
