| BOB JOHNSON: "I don't write my girl anymore...you got that in reverse English. She doesn't write to me anymore, so I don't write to her. That's the way it is. I haven't had a letter in seven weeks. Yes. A ship might have gone down...the address might have been wrong...there are a hell of a lot of Johnsons in the army....maybe she was ill...maybe her mother was ill. I've had all the maybes. I cabled her. I haven't heard a thing. She was a swell girl, Alison. We used to talk. She liked the woods. She learned some of the birdcalls I taught her real well for a girl. She caught her first rainbow with my rod. Two and a half pounds. She broiled it herself. We've been walking in the woods often, following the trail and haven't said a word for two hours...and then both said the same thing together. What do you figure it means when that happens? (Pause) It means no letter in seven weeks. I don't believe this enemy action stuff. All the other fellas get letters from their girls. If a ship goes down, it can't just be that particular part of the ship where my letters are dumped that does down, can it? Well....so long Allison.... |
