| 3. |
"...If you're lucky, you get to stay on the perimeter, and then you pull a three-hour guard shift, so maybe you sleep three, four hours a night. But you don't really sleep. I don't think I can keep this up for a year, Grandma. I think I've made a big mistake..." |
| 4. |
"My dearest Danceny, I swear to you on my chastity that even if my mother forces me to go through with this marriage, I shall be yours completely. Your friend, the Vicomte de Valmont" |

"Dear Sir, I am deeply hurt by the newspaper calling me a woman hater. I am not. But I am a monster: I'm a little brat...'Go out and kill,' commands Father Sam...I live for the hunt. My life. Blood for Papa. Sir, I don't want to kill anymore. No sir, no more. But I must honor thy Father..." |
| 6. |
"...I have trouble sleeping at night. I have bad dreams like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Food-Way so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it. Sort of like a bonus..." |

"...I think it's worth it. I'm gonna miss you guys. I've been thinking about it, and that poem, the guy that wrote it. He meant you're gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid, everything's new. Dawn. Like the way you dig sunsets..." |

But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, Abraham Lincoln" |

And I know I'm right. Just remember, there's never been anyone for me except you. Just wasn't in the cards for us, I guess. I'll always love you, Sarah..." |

"Dear Lesra, please forgive this seemingly tardy reply, but he who bemoans the lack of opportunity forgets that small doors many times open up into large rooms. It was not only thoughtful, but insightful on your part. Stamps, paper and envelopes were exactly what was needed to complete this transmission..." |

"Thank you for your doctor's bag, although it seems that I will not have the occasion to use it, barring some emergency, of course. I'm not a doctor... I'm enjoying being a lobsterman and orchardman.
