'' `` Well , that Shirley snippet certainly is n't that , '' said Mrs. William sarcastically . `` And if Joscelyn 's tongue was one third as long as Anne Shirley 's the wonder to me is that she did n't talk you all to death out of hand . '' `` Little Joscelyn was n't much of a talker , '' said Aunty Nan dreamily . `` She was kind of a quiet child . But you remember what she did say . And I 've never forgotten little Joscelyn . '' Mrs. William shrugged her plump , shapely shoulders . `` Well , it was fifteen years ago , Aunty Nan , and Joscelyn ca n't be very ` little ' now . She is a famous woman , and she has forgotten all about you , you can be sure of that . '' `` Joscelyn was n't the kind that forgets , '' said Aunty Nan loyally . `` And , anyway , the point is , I have n't forgotten HER . Oh , Maria , I 've longed for years and years just to hear her sing once more . It seems as if I MUST hear my little Joscelyn sing once again before I die . I 've never had the chance before and I never will have it again . Do please ask William to take me to Kensington .
