gogue on the small wages that goes
with the job.

her husband, but who sat down and
gave herself treatment. The result
was that instead of getting sour about

to his office and get the corpse, when ;
he walked in. She was delighted to ,
see him, but didn't see any reason why
he should be cross because dinner
