"Where is she now?" I asked.
"Oh, she is away," the man sighed, putting the picture back on the little black shelf. "She went to visit her parents. They live forty or fifty miles from here. She has been gone two weeks today."
"When will she be back?" I asked. "Well, this is Wednesday, he said slowly. She will be back on Saturday, in the evening."
I felt a sharp sense of regret. "I am sorry, because I will be gone by then." I said.
"Gone? No! Why should you go? Don't go. She will be so sorry. You see, she likes to have people come and stay with us."
"No, I really must leave." I said firmly.
He picked up her picture and held it before my eyes. "Here," he said. "Now you tell her to her face that you could have stayed to meet her and you would not."
Something made me change my mind as I looked at the picture for a second time. I decided to stay.
