Wesley Winfield, You may read your letter. Wesley Winfield:
But ma'am... Miss Mary Stevens:
[sternly]
You may read your letter! Wesley Winfield:
Yes, ma'am. Miss Mary Stevens:
Have you prepared one? Wesley Winfield:
Yes, ma'am. Miss Mary Stevens:
But, uh, you're going to find out that you've forgot to bring it, aren't you? Wesley Winfield:
[takes the letter out of his schoolbook]
No, ma'am, I got it. Miss Mary Stevens:
Well, we'll listen to what you've found time to prepare. For once. [Wesley stands in front of the class and reads "his" letter aloud] Wesley Winfield:
"Dear friend, you called me beautiful, but I'm really not beautiful, and at times, I doubt if I'm even pretty. Though my hair may be beautiful and if it is true that my eyes are like the blue stars... in... Heaven..." [the class laughs] Miss Mary Stevens:

Go on. Wesley Winfield:
[to himself]

Proceed! Wesley Winfield:
"A-A tremor thrills my being when I recall... your... last words to me... that last... that last..." Miss Mary Stevens:

"That-that last... evening... in... the moonlight when you... you..." Miss Mary Stevens:
Wesley, you will go on. And you will stop that stammering! Wesley Winfield:
"You-you kissed my shoulder and-and said that you would like to love me forever and ever... and ever... and ever..." Miss Mary Stevens:
Wesley... Wesley Winfield:
"A-And that if you believed in marriage you would... want me to... Yours respectfully, Wesley Winfield." [Wesley quickly sits back down, embarrassed, while the class laughs at him]
