Thank you to Buzzfeed’s The Last Words of 25 Famous Dead Authors for today’s brief words from Papa. [Go click that link and read some others; there are a number of humorous, poignant last words up for your contemplation.]
Goodnight, my kitten.
Spoken to his fourth and last wife, Mary, before she retired; she would be awakened in the morning by the sound of gunshots and have the honor of finding his body, which frankly I think was an awfully mean thing to do to her.
Pagesofjulia is having a season of Hemingway around here. You might have noticed. Goodnight, Papa, we miss you.

Thanks for that link! So sad, Hemingway’s words…
That makes me feel awful for his wife too
Yea… he did a lot of mean things to her, but this may be the meanest. I love him but he was a bad dude in a lot of ways.
