Premise: Oh , Maria , I 've longed for years and years just to hear her sing once more .<br>It seems as if I MUST hear my little Joscelyn sing once again before I die .<br>I 've never had the chance before and I never will have it again .<br>Do please ask William to take me to Kensington . ''<br>`` Dear me , Aunty Nan , this is really childish , '' said Mrs. William , whisking her bowlful of berries into the pantry .<br>`` You must let other folks be the judge of what is best for you now .
Hypothesis: Maria couldn't sing
