Why the last night, though he knew he was going off, he never even asked me to walk up + down, never said he was sorry to go, never said a thing in his whole life to me, that implied anything particular. Of course I saw he was different than when I first knew him, but his coming to see me all the time, is just what he has always done, + altogether I am dreadfully perplexed; I told Sister once that I was quite sure, that if we were thrown together in the same neighborhood for ten years that at the end of that time he would perhaps care for me, + that is just what I thought about it.
