No. So I wrote again, almost word for word the same as before: only more strongly.
Wangel.
And did he give way then?
Ellida.
Oh no, far from it. He wrote as calmly as before. Never a word about my having broken with him. Then I saw it was useless, so I wrote to him no more.
Wangel.
And did not hear from him either?
Ellida.
Yes, I have had three letters from him since. Once he wrote from California and once from China. The last letter I got from him was from Australia. He said he was going to the goldmines; and since then I have heard nothing from him.
Wangel.
