As often as I could I went to
see him at his villa near Naples.
:10:09
He was kind and thoughtful
and happy about my success.
:10:15
We talked and joked
and played chamber music.
:10:21
He hardly ever spoke of his illness
and he wouldn't have liked me to ask.
:11:05
One day he gave me a long look
:11:09
then laughed and said:
:11:14
"This time next year I'll be gone
:11:19
"but I'll always be with you.
I'll always think of you."
:11:26
It was sweet of him to say so
:11:31
but he was apt to be
rather theatrical.
:11:34
I can't say I go around grieving.
:11:37
Of course he's left a gap,
but it's no good fretting.
:11:40
Do you think I've changed much?
:11:44
-You're just the same.
-I dye my hair of course.
:11:48
Otherwise I'm the same,
don't you think?
:11:50
I bought this outfit in Z'rich.
Saw it in a window
:11:55
went in and tried it on
and it fit perfectly.
:11:59
-Don't you think it's nice?
-Yes, very.
