Telling Absalom's Girlfriend (October 8th, 1946)

Today, October 8th, 1946, I am visiting my son's girlfriend. The bad news is I will have to be the bearer of bad news and tell her that her boyfriend has been arrested for murdering a white man. When I arrived in Pimville, the city where Absalom's girlfriend lives in, I had little trouble finding her house compared to how hard it was to find Absalom. When she opened the door, I noticed that she had a faint expression of uncertainty and fear. She let me in and I told her that Absalom had been sent to prison. But it seemed like she did not comprehend. But when I told her that Absalom had been sent to prison for breaking into a white man's hours she shouted  "Au!" This told me that other people that she knew had been sent to prison but not for anything to this extent. After this I asked her if she still wanted to marry Absalom. She still said yes. But after her reaction to she I told her that Absalom had been sent to prison and when I told her that Absalom had been sent to prison for murmuring a white man I was skeptical of her. So I started to am her questions but I got so carried away that I got carried away, and before I realized it I had already severely hurt her feelings. I felt ashamed of what I had done to such an innocent and young child. So I gave her my approval to marry Absalom.
