There had always ben playful,&amp;nbsp; comfortable&amp;nbsp; warmth&lt;BR&gt;between them, but never any talk of love.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; His name was Newt. Her name was Catharine. In the early afternoon, Newt knocked on&lt;BR&gt;Catharine's front door.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Catharine came to the door. She was carrying a fat, glossy magazine she had been reading.&lt;BR&gt;The magazine was devoted entirely to brides. "Newt!" she said. She was surprised to see him.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Could you come for a walk?" he said. He was a shy person, even with Catharine. He&lt;BR&gt;covered his shyness by speaking absently as though what really concerned him were far&lt;BR&gt;away--as though he were a secret agent pausing briefly on a mission between beautiful, distant,&lt;BR&gt;and sinister points. This manner of speaking had always been Newt's style, even in matters that&lt;BR&gt;concerned him desperately.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "A walk?" said Catharine.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "One foot in front of the other," said Newt, "through leaves, over bridges---"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I had no idea you were in town," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Just this minute got in," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Still in the Army, I see," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Seven months more to go," he said. He was a private first class in the Artillery. His uniform&lt;BR&gt;was rumpled. His shoes were dusty. He needed a shave. He held out his hand for the magazine.&lt;BR&gt;"Let's see the pretty book," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She gave it to him. "I'm getting married, Newt," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I know," he said. "Let's go for a walk."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I'm awfully busy, Newt," she said. "The wedding is only a week away."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "If we go for a walk," he said, "it will make you rosy. It will make you a rosy bride." He&lt;BR&gt;turned the pages of the magazine. "A rosy bride like her--like her--like her," he said, showing&lt;BR&gt;her rosy brides.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Catharine turned rosy, thinking about rosy brides.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "That will be my present to Henry Stewart Chasens," said Newt. "By taking you for a walk,&lt;BR&gt;I'll be giving him a rosy bride."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You know his name?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Mother wrote," he said. "From Pittsburgh?"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Yes," she said. "You'd like him."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Maybe," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Can--can you come to the wedding, Newt?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "That I doubt," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Your furlough isn't for long enough?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Furlough?" said Newt. He was studying a two page ad for flat silver. "I'm not on furlough,"&lt;BR&gt;he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Oh?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I'm what they call A.W.O.L.," said Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Oh, Newt! You're not!" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Sure I am," he said, still looking at the magazine.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Why, Newt?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I had to find out what your silver pattern is," he said. He read names of silver patterns from&lt;BR&gt;the magazine. Albemarle? Heather?" he said. "Legend? Rambler Rose?" He looked up, smiled. "I&lt;BR&gt;plan to give you and your husband a spoon," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Newt, Newt--tell me really," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I want to go for a walk," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She wrung her hands in sisterly anguish. "Oh, Newt--you're fooling me about being&lt;BR&gt;A.W.O.L.," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Newt imitated a police siren softly, and raised his eyebrows.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Where--where from?"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Fort Bragg," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "North Carolina?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "That's right," he said. "Near Fayetteville--where Scarlet O'Hara went to school."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "How did you get here, Newt?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He raised his thumb, jerked it in a hitchhike gesture. "Two days," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Does your mother know?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I didn't come to see my mother," he told her.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Who did you come to see?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Why me?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Because &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;I love you&lt;/FONT&gt;," he said. "Now can we take a walk?" he said. "One foot in front of the&lt;BR&gt;other--through leaves, over bridges--"&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They were taking the walk now, were in a woods with a brown-leaf floor.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Catharine was angry and rattled, close to tears. "Newt," she said, "this is absolutely crazy."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "How so?" said Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "What a crazy time to tell me you love me," she said. "You never talked that way before."&lt;BR&gt;She stopped walking.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Let's keep walking," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "No," she said. "So far, no farther. I shouldn't have come out with you at all," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You did," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "To get you out of the house," she said. "If somebody walked in and heard you talking to me&lt;BR&gt;that way, a week before the wedding--"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "What would they think?" he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "They'd think you were crazy," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Why?" he said&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Catharine took a deep breath, made a speech. "Let me say that I'm deeply honored by this&lt;BR&gt;crazy thing you've done," she said. "I can't believe you're really A.W.O.L., but maybe you are. I&lt;BR&gt;can't believe you really love me, but maybe you do. But--"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I do," said Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Well, I'm deeply honored," said Catharine, "and I'm very fond of you as a friend, Newt,&lt;BR&gt;extremely fond--but it's just too late." She took a step away from him. "You've never even kissed&lt;BR&gt;me," she said, and she protected herself with her hands. "I don't mean you should do it now. I just&lt;BR&gt;mean that this is all so unexpected. I haven't got the remotest idea of how to respond."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Just walk some more," he said. "Have a nice time."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They started walking again.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "How did you expect me to react?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "How would I know what to expect?" he said. "I've never done anything like this before."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Did you think I would throw myself into your arms?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Maybe," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I'm sorry to disappoint you," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I'm not disappointed," he said. "I wasn't counting on it. This is very nice, just walking."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Catharine stopped again. "You know what happens next?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Nope," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "We shake hands," she said. "We shake hands and part friends," she said. "That's what&lt;BR&gt;happens next."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Newt nodded. "All right," he said. "Remember me from time to time. Remember how much&lt;BR&gt;I loved you."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Involuntarily, Catharine burst into tears. She turned her back to Newt, looked into the&lt;BR&gt;infinate colonnade of the woods.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "What does that mean?" said Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Rage!" said Catharine. She clenched her hands. "You have no right--"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I had to find out," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "If I'd loved you," she said, "I would have let you know before now."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You would?" he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Yes," she said. She faced him, looked up at him, her face quite red. "You would have&lt;BR&gt;known," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "How?" he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You would have seen it," she said. "Women aren't very clever at hiding it."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Newt looked closely at Catharine's face now. To her consternation, she realized that what&lt;BR&gt;she had said was true, that a woman couldn't hide love.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Newt was seeing love now.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And he did what he had to do. He kissed her.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You're hell to get along with!" she said when Newt let her go.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I am?" said Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You shouldn't have done that," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You didn't like it?" he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "What did you expect," she said--"wild, adandoned passion?"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I keep telling you," he said," I never know what's going to happen next."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "We say good-by," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He frowned slightly. "All right," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She made another speech. "I'm not sorry we kissed," she said. "That was sweet. We should&lt;BR&gt;have kissed, we've been so close. I'll always remember you , Newt, and good luck."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You too," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Thirty days," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "What?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Thirty days in the stockade," he said--"that's what one kiss will cost me."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I--I'm sorry," she said, "but I didn't ask you to go A.W.O.L."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I know," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You certainly don't deserve any hero's reward for doing something as foolish as that," she&lt;BR&gt;said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Must be nice to be a hero," said Newt. "Is Henry Stewart Chasens a hero?"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "He might be, if he got the chance," said Catharine. She noted uneasily that they had begun&lt;BR&gt;to walk again. The farewell had been forgotten.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You really love him?" he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Certainly I love him!" she said hotly. "I wouldn't marry him if I didn't love him!"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "What's good about him?" said Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Honestly!" she cried, stopping again. "Do you have any idea how offensive you're being?&lt;BR&gt;Many, many, many things are good about Henry! Yes," she said, "and many, many, many things&lt;BR&gt;are probably bad, too. But that isn't any of your business. I love Henry, and I don't have to argue&lt;BR&gt;his merits with you!"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Sorry," said Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Honestly!" said Catharine.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Newt kissed her again. He kissed her again because she wanted him to.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They were now in a large orchard.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "How did we get so far from home, Newt?" said Catharine.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "One foot in front of the other--through leaves, over bridges," said Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "They add up--the steps," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Bells rang in the tower of the school for the blind nearby.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "School for the blind," said Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "School for the blind," said Catharine. She shook her head in drowsy wonder. "I've got to go&lt;BR&gt;back now," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Say good-by," said Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Every time I do," said Catharine, "I seem to get kissed."&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Newt sat down on the close-cropped grass under an apple tree. "Sit down," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "No," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I won't touch you," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I don't believe you," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She sat down under another tree, twenty feet away from him. She closed her eyes.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Dream of Henry Stewart Chasens," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "What?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Dream of your wonderful husband-to-be," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "All right, I will," she said. She closed her eyes tighter, caught glimpses of her&lt;BR&gt;husband-to-be.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Newt yawned.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The bees were humming in the trees, and Catharine almost fell asleep. When she opened&lt;BR&gt;her eyes she saw that Newt really was asleep.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He began to snore softly.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Catharine let him sleep for an hour, and while he slept she adored him with all her heart.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The shadows of the apple trees grew to the east. The bells in the tower of the school for the&lt;BR&gt;blind rang again.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "*chick-a-dee-dee-dee*," went a chickadee.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Somewhere far away an automobile started nagged and failed, nagged and failed, fell still.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Catharine came out from under her tree, knelt by Newt.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Newt?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "H'm?" he said. He opened his eyes.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Late," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Hello, Catharine," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Hello, Newt," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I love you," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I know," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Too late," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Too late," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He stood, stretched groaningly. "A very nice walk," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "I thought so," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Part company here?" he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Where will you go?" she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Hitch into town, turn myself in," he said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Good luck," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "You too," he said. "Marry me, Catharine?"&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "No," she said.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He smiled, stared at her hard for a moment, then walked away quickly.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Catharine watched him grow smaller in the long perspective of shadows and trees, knew&lt;BR&gt;that if he stopped and turned now, if he called to her, she would run to him. She would have no&lt;BR&gt;choice.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Newt did stop. He did turn. He did call. "Catharine," he called.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She ran to him, put her arms aroud him, could not speak.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://chaosdout.xanga.com/494503958/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, June 04, 2006</title><link>http://chaosdout.xanga.com/492969648/item/</link><guid>http://chaosdout.xanga.com/492969648/item/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Jun 2006 14:56:21 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://x4f.xanga.com/ec3a03773063058109280/b38952057.jpg" target=xangaphoto&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; WIDTH: 400px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" alt="" src="http://x4f.xanga.com/ec3a03773063058109280/z38952057.jpg"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
