"You will write to me every day?"
"Yes, every day."
"You will think of me every day and night?"
"Yes, Dic, every moment, and—"
"You will come back to me soon—very soon?"
"Yes, Dic, whenever you choose to take me."
"And you will be brave against your mother?"
"Yes, brave as I can be, for your sake, Dic. But you must not forget that I cannot be very brave long at a time without help from you! Oh, Dic, how can I bear to be so far away from you? I shall see you only on Sundays; a whole week apart! You have never been from me so long since I can remember till you went to New York. I told you trouble would come from that trip; but you will come to me Sundays—by Saturday night's stage?"
"Yes, every Sunday."
