what I think-the guy on the phone once hurt
Sylvia, indeed, broke her heart. but she recovered, and met the guy from Galveston, and they are to marry. AND-I believe phone guy has heard of their engagement, and it's brought
Sylvia back to his attention! He wants to see if he can lure her back again;she's interesting again, now someone else has taken an interest.
Perhaps the mother is wrong, not to let phone guy talk to
Sylvia. But she remembers too well how it went last time!She encourages
Sylvia to hurry, catch her train, be with Galveston guy.
