She writes a poem about him, and he thinks that she has stolen the poem. So he shoots an arrow at her and eats the heart. This was in a scene where one of the old ladies in the bar is killed by another.This young lady comes to visit the teacher who was somewhat afraid of her, when she tells him that she wants to be an actress. They fall in love and move into each other's apartments. The poor kid goes insane, and only the poet can save her.After returning from a trip abroad, Ernest Hemingway becomes ill and stops writing. He goes to bed for two weeks, then gets up and starts writing again. For thirty-five days he writes five hundred pages of poetry, and he wakes up after the first week, with no more inspiration to write. He meets a journalist who was there on his trip, and the writer reveals that Ernest didn't write because he couldn't breathe. He doesn't feel much better, and dies on the eleventh day.As in the earlier story, Teddy Roosevelt falls in love with a redhead. He goes to the Opera House to see a ballet performed by this very redheaded girl. It is the same girl who took the chair in the opera, when he was there for the battle of Shiloh.
