“Tell me Robert. Why do you follow Brett around like a poor bloody steer? Don’t you know you’re not wanted? I know when I’m not wanted. Why don’t you know when you’re not wanted? You came down to San Sebastian where you weren’t wanted, and followed Brett around like a bloody steer” (Hemingway 146).

 I guess I was a little harsh on Robert when I’m drunk but I said everything I truly meant. He has to know where he stands when it comes to Brett and me. I will not lose the only person that accepts my failures to someone who is weak and unlike us. Robert is just like a steer. He doesn’t belong in this group of “bulls” nor is he one of us. He is an outsider and will always be one. He can never seem to understand that he’s not wanted. At all means, I know I’m not perfect and I don’t have much going for me, which makes it ironic that I’m verbally attacking him, but he gets what he deserves. He doesn’t understand how frustrating it is to know that he likes Brett. I see how he looked at her at San Sebastian and even now and I know he’s writing letters to her. I don’t read them but Brett shows them to me as if she’s giving me a warning. Maybe this whole incident is foreshadowing the future of Brett and me or maybe Robert gets what I’m saying and finds new friends and a new love interest. I guess only time will tell.
