d does seem always to mean just getting all the
time excited. That certainly is what I always think from what I see of
them that have it bad Miss Melanctha, and that certainly would never
suit a man like me. You see Miss Melanctha I am a very quiet kind of
fellow, and I believe in a quiet life for all the colored people. No
Miss Melanctha I certainly never have mixed myself up in that kind of
trouble."

"Yes I certainly do see that very clear Dr. Campbell," said Melanctha,
"I see that's certainly what it is always made me not know right about
you and that's certainly what it is that makes you really mean what
you was always saying. You certainly are just too scared Dr. Campbell
to really feel things way down in you. All you are always wanting Dr.
Campbell, is just to talk about being good, and to play with people

mind sickness or real trouble Miss Melanctha, and I don't want to be
talking about what I can do in real trouble, but you know something
about that Miss Melanctha, but I certainly don't see much in mixing up
just to get excited, in that awful kind of danger. No Miss Melanctha
I certainly do only know just two kinds of ways of loving. One kind of
loving seems to me, is like one has a good quiet feeling in a family
when one does his work, and is always living good and being regular,
and then the other way of loving is just like having it like any
animal that's low in the streets together, and that don't seem to me
very good Miss Melanctha, though I don't say ever that it's not all
right when anybody likes it, and that's all the kinds of love I kn
