2 He was shy, and would not willingly face any woman except his mother.
3 In the lulls, Robert and his mother exchanged bits of desultory conversation.
4 He was spending his summer vacation, as he always did, with his mother at Grand Isle.
5 Edna experienced a pang of jealousy because he had written to his mother rather than to her.
6 Several persons were talking at once, and Victor's voice was predominating, even over that of his mother.
7 She had not seen him during the afternoon; she had heard some one say he was at the house, upstairs with his mother.
