Mrs. Soffel • 1984

Ed Biddle: "Just a little violet, From across the way, Came to cheer a prisoner in his cell one day, Just a little flower, Sent by a loving hand, Has a kindly meaning that true hearts understand, Just a little violet, Plucked with tender care, God has smiled upon it and the sender fair, And soon that little token, Wrapped in hands so neat, Rests quietly within a grave o'er which a heart that's true does beat"
Kate Soffel: Why would you write that for me?
Ed Biddle: What makes you think I did?
