Yes.
JONATHAN [_carefully looking over his right shoulder._
I'd wish to be with you.
NATHANIEL
More than anything?
JONATHAN
Yes, sir.
NATHANIEL
More than being a writer or a theatre director or an actor?
JONATHAN
Oh, yes, I'm too young to start right away. I have to have an education first.
NATHANIEL
Suppose that wish couldn't be, then what would you wish?
JONATHAN
That you'd write me long letters and let me write you long letters.
[_Takes up his suit case._
I'd better be going now.
NATHANIEL
Aren't you going to tell John and Aunt Let.i.tia good-bye?
JONATHAN
No, sir. I don't think I'd better. Uncle John doesn't care and Aunt Let.i.tia will understand.
NATHANIEL
Yes, she always understands somehow.
JONATHAN
Good-bye, sir.
NATHANIEL
Jonathan, suppose we go away together. I'm not wanted and you're not wanted.
JONATHAN
You're going to Paris to marry Mlle. Perrault!
NATHANIEL
Would you let me be your father, Jonathan?
JONATHAN
Sir?
NATHANIEL
You shall go to the schools where you will find the work you want.... Will you be my son?
JONATHAN
Do you like me that much?
NATHANIEL
I like you more than that much. You'll get some long trousers and we'll plan and plan. Suppose we run away together.
JONATHAN
Do you think we ought to leave some word, Uncle Nathaniel?
NATHANIEL
Of course. How stupid of me.
JONATHAN
You write it.
NATHANIEL
No, we'll both write it.
JONATHAN
I don't know what to say. I've only run away once.
NATHANIEL
