• Abigail : Meeting you has made my day

  Tallie : Oh, how pleasant and uncommon it is to make someone's day

• Abigail : "When the day is done, my mind turns to her and I think, why are we to be separated"

• Abigail : Tuesday, January 1st, 1856. With little pride and less hope, we begin the new year.

• Abigail : Astonishment and joy. Astonishment and joy. Astonishment and joy.

• Abigail : In the winter sun through the window, her skin had an under-flush of rose and violet which so disconcerted me that I had to look away.

• Abigail : It always seems that Tallie will never appear. But I remind myself that time and the needle wear through the longest morning. And I have noted that when she does arrive, my heart is like a leaf borne over a rock by rapidly moving water.

• Abigail : Why didn't you do what you attempted to do?

  Tallie : I worry you'll catch my cold.

  Abigail : You smell like a biscuit.

  Tallie : I have to go home.

• Abigail : Saturday, June 21st. My heart a maelstrom. My head a bedlam. A whole week and no visit from Tallie. No word. My anxieties often force me to stop my work and pace the house like an inmate. I have to see her.
