"Then what's the use?"
The boy said nothing.
"Who is She, anyway?"
The boy was silent.
"Is She your owner?"
"Certainly not!" said the boy.
"Do you work for her?"
"No."
"Is She the queen?"
"No."
"Then what right has She to make laws?"
The boy was silent.
"Did you ever see her?"
"No."
"Or anyone who ever did see her?"
"No."
"Then who in the name of common sense is She?"
The boy laughed rather foolishly. "Well," he said, "if you ask who in the name of common sense She is, it sort of annihilates her;—because She doesn't belong to that family."
