To

which

Clyde

responded

eagerly

and

in

kind

in

the

same

hour

.

But

almost

the

same

mail

,

at

least

the

same

day

,

brought

the

following

letter

from

Roberta

.

Biltz

,

June

10th

.

DEAR

CLYDE

:

I

am

nearly

ready

for

bed

,

but

I

will

write

you

a

few

lines

.

I

had

such

a

tiresome

journey

coming

up

that

I

was

nearly

sick

.

In

the

first

place

I

did

n't

want

to

come

much

(

alone

)

as

you

know

.

I

feel

too

upset

and

uncertain

about

everything

,

although

I

try

not

to

feel

so

now

that

we

have

our

plan

and

you

are

going

to

come

for

me

as

you

said

.

(

At

this

point

,

while

nearly

sickened

by

the

thought

of

the

wretched

country

world

in

which

she

lived

,

still

,

because

of

Roberta

's

unfortunate

and

unavoidable

relation

to

it

,

he

now

experienced

one

of

his

old

time

twinges

of

remorse

and

pity

in

regard

to

her

.

For

after

all

,

this

was

not

her

fault

.

She

had

so

little

to

look

forward

to

--

nothing

but

her

work

or

a

commonplace

marriage

.

For

the

first

time

in

many

days

,

really

,

and

in

the

absence

of

both

,

he

was

able

to

think

clearly

--

and

to

sympathize

deeply

,

if

gloomily

.

For

the

remainder

of

the

letter

read

:)

But

it

's

very

nice

here

now

.

The

trees

are

so

beautifully

green

and

the

flowers

in

bloom

.

I

can

hear

the

bees

in

the

orchard

whenever

I

go

near

the

south

windows

.

On

the

way

up

instead

of

coming

straight

home

I

decided

to

stop

at

Homer

to

see

my

sister

and

brother-in-law

,

since

I

am

not

so

sure

now

when

I

shall

see

them

again

,

if

ever

,

for

I

am

resolved

that

they

shall

see

me

respectable

,

or

never

at

all

any

more

.

You

must

n't

think

I

mean

anything

hard

or

mean

by

this

.

I

am

just

sad

.

They

have

such

a

cute

little

home

there

,

Clyde

--

pretty

furniture

,

a

victrola

and

all

,

and

Agnes

is

so

very

happy

with

Fred

.

I

hope

she

always

will

be

.

I

could

n't

help

thinking

of

what

a

dear

place

we

might

have

had

,

if

only

my

dreams

had

come

true

.

And

nearly

all

the

time

I

was

there

Fred

kept

teasing

me

as

to

why

I

do

n't

get

married

,

until

I

said

,

"

Oh

,

well

,

Fred

,

you

must

n't

be

too

sure

that

I

wo

n't

one

of

these

days

.

All

good

things

come

to

him

who

waits

,

you

know

.

"

"

Yes

,

unless

you

just

turn

out

to

be

a

waiter

,

"

was

the

way

he

hit

me

back

.
