`` I am very sorry for your sake . '' `` Yes , but what I mean is , would you like me better if I could speak like other people ? '' `` No , it does not make any difference in that way , Kilmeny . By the way , do you mind my calling you Kilmeny ? '' She looked puzzled and wrote , `` What else should you call me ? That is my name . Everybody calls me that . '' `` But I am such a stranger to you that perhaps you would wish me to call you Miss Gordon . '' `` Oh , no , I would not like that , '' she wrote quickly , with a distressed look on her face . `` Nobody ever calls me that . It would make me feel as if I were not myself but somebody else . And you do not seem like a stranger to me . Is there any reason why you should not call me Kilmeny ? '' `` No reason whatever , if you will allow me the privilege . You have a very lovely name -- the very name you ought to have . '' `` I am glad you like it . Do you know that I was called after my grandmother and she was called after a girl in a poem ? Aunt Janet has never liked my name , although she liked my grandmother . But I am glad you like both my name and me . I was afraid you would not like me because I can not speak . ''
`` You can speak through your music , XXXXX . ''
