No wonder you are glad that you said nothing offensive at parting,

I have been in twenty different minds since taking the train for Boston, as to whether I do right or wrong to go to Europe now. Very few words passed between father and me about it. I had some hours to think before meeting him, after learning what he had done, and I merely told him that Clover had told me of their engagement. He looked right at me and he understands me pretty well. ’Does it displease you, Jack?’ he asked. ’It surprises me, sir,’ I answered, ’and it makes me feel that while matters are in the transition state which is coming, I might perhaps as well put in that year abroad you spoke of.’ He was silent for a minute, and I knew that, try as I might, I couldn’t mislead him much as to my feelings, so I braced up and spoke as naturally as I could, about how deeply I desired his happiness, and said that if my staying at home would conduce to it, I would stay. He thought a minute more, and then he said as quietly as he always says everything, ’You had better go, Jack.’
