“I would rather you did—you and your garden.”

“And—some day—I should like you to know a little more of me.”

“Thank you. When will you come back?”

“I can’t tell. But you are not leaving?”

“Not yet.”

“No, I am too happy here.”

“Are you really happy?”

“At any rate I am happier than I have ever been before.”
