On the evening before he left Winesburg,Ned went to call on Alice.They walked about through the streets for an hour and then went for a drive in the country.The moon came up and they found themselves unable to talk.They stopped at a place where a long meadow ran down to the bank of Wine Creek and there in the dim light he kissed her and promised he would love her forever.When they returned to town,it did not seem to them that anything in the future could blot out (拭去) the wonder and beauty of that evening.“Now we will have to stick to each other;whatever happens,we will have to do that,”Ned said as he left the girl at her father’s door.
He did not succeed in getting a place on a Cleveland newspaper and went west to Chicago.For a time he was lonely and wrote to Alice almost every day.Then he was caught up by the life of the city; he began to make friends and found new interests in life.In Chicago he boarded at a house where there were several women.One of them attracted his attention and he forgot Alice in Winesburg.At the end of a year he had stopped writing letters,and only once in a long time,when he was lonely or when he went into one of the city parks and saw the moon shining on the grass as it had shone that night on the meadow by Wine Creek,did he think of her at all.
