Abel was silent. He. too. had been

her. They had been married five
years. and during that time he had
planned each year to buy some fire
works and have real celebration
such as he had seen other lads enjoy
in former years and in which he had
never participated.
At first he had been almost ashamed
to confess to Ellen this feeling, and
even now he had merely told her his
desire to have little fun with fire
works. but Ellen. pretty and sharli
