I LOVE, YOU LOVE
IT was a sweltering evening. The language students sat in their room, perspiration dripping off their foreheads onto Portuguese grammar books. Harold looked up. “These verb forms are getting easier all the time. Let me see! Eu amo, Tu amas, Ela ama; Nos amamos, vos amaes, eles amam.
I love, you love, she loves; We love, you love, they love. Now for the subjunctive mood: That I may love,
That you may love, That she may love, That we may love.”
