After dinner Mr. P, passing his wife's
rocker, tweaked her ear Now don't

said, for she recognized that mingled
with the mans irritability, Crouch" and
fatigue was bit of playfulness. Did
she ignore the playfulness as she had
the disagreeable qualities' No! She
picked it up like tennis ball and
tossed il gently back to her husband
with a laugh that led him to toss it back

she tossed back one of the brilliant
things his eldest son and namesake had
done that day Thus the ball OF playful
ness kept going between man and wife

his wife ignored them and the Srumble

When she was fourteen boys from
school fingered talking with her on the
streets or about the door till supper
