Jeff Campbell never asked Melanctha any more if she loved him. Now
things were always getting worse between them. Now Jeff was always
very silent with Melanctha. Now Jeff never wanted to be honest to her,
and now Jeff never had much to say to her.
Now when they were together, it was Melanctha always did most of the
talking. Now she often had other girls there with her. Melanctha was
always kind to Jeff Campbell but she never seemed to need to be alone
now with him. She always treated Jeff, like her best friend, and she
always spoke so to him and yet she never seemed now to very often want
to see him.
Every day it was getting harder for Jeff Campbell. It was as if now,
when he had learned to really love Melanctha, she did not need any
more to have him. Jeff began to know this very well inside him.
Jeff Campbell did not know yet that Melanctha had begun again to
wander. Jeff was not very quick to suspect Melanctha. All Jeff knew
was, that he did not trust her to be now really loving to him.
Jeff was no longer now in any doubt inside him. He knew very well now
he really loved Melanctha. He knew now very well she was not any more
a real religion to him. Jeff Campbell knew very well too now inside
him, he did not really want Melanctha, now if he could no longer
trust her, though he loved her hard and really knew now what it was to
suffer.
Every day Melanctha Herbert was less and less near to him.
