"But don't you want to go into the army?" "Certainly I do; that is the dearest wish of my heart. But my father would not let me, and what could I do?" "If you were bent on it, like a patriot, as you must be, you could run away and enlist. I don't know but I shall do that when I get back to China."

'Do not so much as think of me yet, or doubt, or question: only love me, dearest. And soon and soon 'We'll just begin again, just begin again, won't we? all three of us together, just as we used to be. I didn't mean to have said all those horrid things about mother.
