Perhaps you may think I have no right to take Carrie.

But I can't be alone--and, after all, she is more mine than yours.

Don't trouble about me.

I have some money, and I mean to support myself and Carrie.

It was only last night this idea came to me, though it was the night before that--Never mind--I can't write about it, it would take too long, and it doesn't really matter to either of us.
