to be, for I know you're as true as pure gold, but because I'm human, and jealously is a human frailty that is mighty likely to show itself when anyone is as powerfully in love as I am. I'll be happy when the little details of casting off old ties are over and finished for both of us. Your way is right, whatever it is. Ack, I don't like the track I got on. I want to forget it. I can't bear to think of another man's even looking at you. I've never felt so before about a girl, unless it was the first one. She is safely married, so you have nothing to hear from her. That was boyish jealousy, and the case like most first ones, died painlessly. But I'm fairly mature now. I've seen enough of life to know myself, at least. I'm not mistaken - you, dear, are the real girl; the one for whom I've been saving all the love that God stores in the heart of man. And always it shall be yours!
