Dick set the tray down on the bed

sugary rolls that Maggie had baked

With butter balls, and the steaming
coffee.
II made the coffee" Dick said,
and believe me. it's some brew q.
strong enough to float an egg!'
Where did you ever learn to make
coffee?" Glory idly asked. AS a
matter Of fact, she didn't care where
Dick had learned. The great thing
was that he had made it!
"Onl camping trips when I was

arm around his wife and drew her
down into his lap.

love to see you in a white apron
fussing around the kitchen. :"
Instantly Glorys good humor
vanished
"Oh. don't doubt that you
would" she cried. You'd love to see
me flying around with mop and a
scrubbing brush tool You'd be
crazy about seeing me with my nails

Doesn't it mean me? Doesn't
1t mean love and thrills. too, to
you just a little bit?"
She took his head between her
hands and kissed him on his fore
