Christmas, or whenever I get back, I'll speak my heart to you
again just as I have spoken now."

keep free. I shall follow you night and day with my thoughts and
prayers."
"Well, I'm superstitious enough to believe that I shall be safer
and more successful on account of them. Clara, look me in the eyes
before I go."

"I don't ask you to forget one who is dead; but don't you see how
much you are to one who is living? Don't you see that in spite of
all your sorrow you can still give happiness? Now, be as generous
and kind as you can. Don't grieve hopelessly while I'm gone.
That's what is killing you; and the thought of it fills me with
dread. Try to think that you still have something and some one to
live for. Perhaps you can learn to love me a little if you try,
and then everything won't look so black. If you find you can't
love me, I won't blame you--, and if I lose you as my wife, you
won't lose a true, honest friend.
