A Bundle of Letters

CHAPTER V
6/20

She comes from New York, and she is remarkably pretty, with beautiful eyes and the most delicate features; she is also remarkably elegant--in this respect would bear comparison with any one I have seen over here.

But it seems as if she didn't want to recognise me or associate with me; as if she wanted to make a difference between us.

It is like people they call "haughty" in books.

I have never seen any one like that before--any one that wanted to make a difference; and at first I was right down interested, she seemed to me so like a proud young lady in a novel.

I kept saying to myself all day, "haughty, haughty," and I wished she would keep on so.
But she did keep on; she kept on too long; and then I began to feel hurt.
I couldn't think what I have done, and I can't think yet.
