Part 85

I can hardly wait until you graduate.

JONATHAN

Neither can I.... Good-bye.

[_Nathaniel enters._

NATHANIEL

On third thought, I decided to wire for my things.

SUSAN

Good-bye, Mr. Nathaniel. I hope you'll have a nice time.

NATHANIEL

Good-bye, Susan.

[_He kisses her. She goes out._

JONATHAN

Good-bye, Susan.

SUSAN (_calling_)

Send me some picture postcards, Jonathan.

JONATHAN

I will.

[_He watches her._

NATHANIEL (_Goes to window_)

Don't you want to make your wish on the new moon, Jonathan?

JONATHAN

I don't know what to wish now. The only one I could think of has come true.

NATHANIEL

Good... come, my boy.

JONATHAN

I'll write a long letter to Susan Sample every week.

NATHANIEL

You can write her a long letter from New York.

JONATHAN

And I can send her picture postcards from every place we go to.

[_Arm in arm they go out talking._
