such an air of independence. Well as she

said he had never written to her, + never

even thanked Mrs Green for her kindness

to him during his holiday because Mr & Mrs

would not tell Dick. She thought she would

much rather tell her mother all her thoughts

than make a confidant of Dick and as

for his being her companion - well that was

that he did not believe in telling a woman

everything because no woman could be troubled.

Well he may want his wife some day and

be thankful he has a woman. I told her

that I had rather tell you everything than
