Then presently I heard, through the open window, the Pretty Girl say to Jack, "Oh, Jack, Jack! Why did you go away and leave me like that? It was cruel!" "But you told me to go, Hannah," said Jack. "That-that didn't make any difference. Why didn't you write?" she sobbed. "Because you never wrote to me, Hannah," he said. "That that was no excuse!" she said. "It was so k-k-k-cruel of you, Jack."
