For the first time he felt that perhaps it was a funny address . `` No , it is n't , '' he said . `` I mean , '' Wendy said nicely , remembering that she was hostess , `` is that what they put on the letters ? '' He wished she had not mentioned letters . `` Do n't get any letters , '' he said contemptuously . `` But your mother gets letters ? '' `` Do n't have a mother , '' he said .

Besides , I was n't crying . '' `` It has come off ? '' `` Yes . ''
