"As a matter of scientific fact?" She looked angry. "I never called her up again, so if I did I must have kept it to myself. She graduated ahead of me and the next spring I had the fight with Adam and left home, so I never saw her again after that one time." "I remember Woody," Jacob said. "He was a nice kid." "He always wanted to be a logger," I said. "I wonder what he's doing now. But talk about love, the girl I did fall in love with for sure was the other Jenny- And that time it wasn't my fault that things didn't work out." I told them about meeting J. Cash on the road, and the night I spent on the cliffs above Big Sur with Jenny, and how in the morning when the sun woke me up shining through the trees she was gone, and J. Cash and the truck were gone. "My money was missing too," I said. "All I found was a note stuck down in my shoe where I'd hidden my wallet." Do not think the worse of Jenny-she does not know I took your poker money. I told her tnat you have made up your mind to stay here in tne woods and meditate.
