According to your faith, be I unto you. Love will always have faith,
understand and wait. Time proves all things. You will get everything
you want; I will come to you when I mean the most and your need for
love is the greatest.
Lovingly always,
Marie.
Walter said: "This is certainly a mysterious letter. I don't understand
it and I don't suppose Marie did either. There is nothing in this
letter to explain whether she was leaving you or not, or why or where
she was going or anything about it. Now, Robert, don't you understand
real love could never act like that or write like that? There is some
secret behind all this and my opinion is that there is another man
in the case." But Robert refused to listen to any such reasoning.
His faith in Marie was unshaken. His love for her was great enough
to understand, to have patience and wait. Marie could or would do no
wrong, and no amount of evidence would ever change him.
Mr. Kennelworth returned to the hotel and after dinner told Robert that
he wanted to have a confidential chat with his son, Walter. Robert
decided to go out for a walk and see the city. When they were alone,
Walter told his father that he had had a long talk with Robert and that
his mind was on nothing but Marie. His father said: "The only thing to
do is to help Robert get interested in his work so that he will forget
about Marie. That is the best thing for him at present. The great love
that he has for her will be the incentive to spur him on to success and
help him realize his ambitions. Love is the greatest thing in the world
and without it men would not get very far. It brings out the noble and
better qualities in a man and should always be encouraged."
CHAPTER XV
On the following day, Monday, June 13th, Mr. Kennelworth, Robert and
Walter arose early to be ready for Colonel Lindbergh's triumphant
march up Broadway. Robert was very enthusiastic about it and talked
about what a great achievement it was and what it meant to the world,
especially to the United States. Walter told him that they must get
busy and start to lay out the plans to build Robert's great airplane.
When they started out on the street, Robert began to talk of Marie
and said that he hoped that he would find her that day. Thru all the
surging crowds, he stared in the face of every woman, hoping that
Marie, if she was alive, might have decided to come to New York for the
Lindbergh reception. It was a great day for Colonel Lindbergh, and a
great day for Robert, because it encouraged his hope for the day, and
believed it would come to pass when airplanes would conquer the world
and bring universal peace. He felt that a state of perfection could
never be reached until the brotherhood of man, founded on love, was
established.
