Don't you think "good-bye" would be enough?
NATHANIEL (_writing_)
Capital.... "Good-Bye--Nathaniel." Now you sign it.
JONATHAN (_Signs_)
"Jonathan."... Maybe we ought to put a line under it so Aunt Let.i.tia won't feel so bad.
NATHANIEL (_makes a line_)
Dear Aunt Let.i.tia will understand. She is the blessed kind who always does.
Now, where shall we put it?... On John's chair, and maybe he'll understand too.
[_He pins the note to John's chair._
JONATHAN
Don't you want to pack your things?
NATHANIEL
I'll wire for them.
[_Susan enters._
On second thought, I'll ask Aunt Let.i.tia to send them.
[_He goes out._
JONATHAN
h.e.l.lo, Susan.
SUSAN
Jonathan, I just saw Miss Let.i.tia and she was crying.... What's the matter?
JONATHAN
I'm going away, Susan.
SUSAN
Where are you going?
JONATHAN
I'm going with Uncle Nathaniel. I'm going to be his son. And I'm going to a fine prep. school and learn to write and do what I like.
SUSAN
When are you coming back?
JONATHAN
I don't know. When I'm older maybe.
SUSAN
Can't we write any more songs?
JONATHAN
I'll send some words to you in letters.
SUSAN
Will you write every week?
JONATHAN
Yes.... Will you?
SUSAN
Yes. I wish I was going, too.
JONATHAN
So do I.
SUSAN
Maybe I'll come to see you graduate.
JONATHAN
That will be fine!
SUSAN (_She kisses him very simply_)
Good-bye, Jonathan.
JONATHAN
Good-bye, Susan.
SUSAN
