Chapter 2, Section 5

Syme is gone. They finally got him. I knew he was too smart. He thought too much, and they got him. Anyone who is truly smart would just stop thinking all together. When Julia and I meet, there is no thinking needed. We just love each other without words. We continued to meet in the room over Mrs. Charrington's shop. We could talk for hours, days even, and i would never get bored. I loved being with her. She even laughed at my terrible jokes. She thought it was especially funny when I called her a "rebel from the waist down." she laughed hysterically at this.
