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 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.

[_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.
