Nothing smashed anyway. I mean nothing happened that really counts.

Say the northern lights were beautiful last night. Colored.

Helen tried to make me tell her who gave the pin to Gerald.

She is a cute kid.

Did you ever prick a big beautiful soap bubble and watch it burst? Or simply chase in on it until there wasn’t any.

Apparently Leigh prefers the first & Wayne the last method of ending things.

I told him Lucile would call him a “dumb id’jit.”

She did.

Wayne's last letter to Lucile said he was going to bring her something and is she mad!

Did we talk.

I wonder if I'll ever feel this way again.

Oh heck! I’m ready to fly with a rare mixture of happiness and vexation. I wish —— oh skip it! I think that ———— oh skip that too!

He put his arm around Alice too!!!!

So I entered 1941 kneeling in prayer of Thanksgiving beside Leigh, shook hands with him a moment after (not just an ordinary handshake) and wished him a Happy new year. Then I rode home on his lap. He put his arm around Alice too!!!! But he drew me down close, had my hand and laid my face against his. It was rather thrilling. But not as much as last Sun. night when he came in. When he left I'm sure he nearly kissed me, I could feel it. But mother was in the next room.
