Crittenden was inexcusably ex-
travagant. I demonstrated, mildly,
the mildness of my protest due in
part to the fear that / might dis
please him again while my natural
feminine desire for the pretty
things was responsible for the rest.
But he laughed at me and took
me to one store after another.

driven there by his remorse to look
at something for me.

making up most successfully. for

generosity of his manner in pur-
chasing them, forcing them on me.
