No. Then I wrote again, almost word for word as I had before; or perhaps more firmly. (Wangel: And he gave in?) Oh, no! Don't think that! He wrote quietly, as before--not a word of my having broken with him. Then I knew it was useless, and so I never wrote to him again. (Wangel: And you never heard from him?) Oh, yes! I have had three letters since then. Once he wrote to me from California, and a second time from China. The last letter I had from him was from Australia. He wrote he was going to the gold-mines; but since then he has made no sign.
