"I know it, but I can't live on you all my life. I want to go out into the world, and see what I can do for myself."
"Take time to think it over, Robert. You are not through school."
"I shall be very soon. I have a good education already, and I can get along."
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't know yet. Something will open up for me."
"Wait till next week," pleaded his mother.
"No, I must go this very day. I have had a fight with Mr. Talbot, and I can't stay in the house any longer."
"Oh, Robert, you will make me very unhappy."
"I am sorry for that, mother, but I don't see how I can help it. Look on the bright side. I think things will turn out well for me."
