Anne , Anne , we want a playmate ' -- but it 's better not . There is no use in loving things if you have to be torn from them , is there ? And it 's so hard to keep from loving things , is n't it ? That was why I was so glad when I thought I was going to live here . I thought I 'd have so many things to love and nothing to hinder me . But that brief dream is over . I am resigned to my fate now , so I do n't think I 'll go out for fear I 'll get unresigned again . What is the name of that geranium on the window-sill , please ? '' `` That 's the apple-scented geranium . '' `` Oh , I do n't mean that sort of a name . I mean just a name you gave it yourself . Did n't you give it a name ? May I give it one then ? May I call it -- let me see -- Bonny would do -- may I call it Bonny while I 'm here ? Oh , do let me ! '' `` Goodness , I do n't care . But where on earth is the sense of naming a geranium ? '' `` Oh , I like things to have handles even if they are only geraniums . It makes them seem more like people . How do you know but that it hurts a geranium 's feelings just to be called a geranium and nothing else ?
You would n't like XXXXX be called nothing but a woman all the time .
