Kate Keller:
What are you saying to her? Annie Sullivan:
Oh, I was just making conversation. Telling her it was a sewing card. Kate Keller:
Does that mean that to her? Annie Sullivan:
Oh, no, she won't know what spelling is till she knows what a word is. Kate Keller:
The captain says it's like spelling to a fence post. Annie Sullivan:
Does he now? It's how I watch you talk to your baby. Kate Keller:
The baby? Annie Sullivan:
Any baby. It's gibberish. Grown-up gibberish. Baby-talk gibberish. Do they understand one word of it to start? Somehow they begin to if they hear it. I'm letting Helen hear it. Kate Keller:
Other children are not impaired. Annie Sullivan:
Oh, there's nothing impaired in her head. It works like a mousetrap. Kate Keller:
Then when will she learn? Annie Sullivan:
Maybe after a million words
