But Tom didn't come, and I was greatly dijappointed. I wanted to point to that turkey with pride and say that my wife cocked it. Then if Tom noticed anything funny about tbe turkey be wouldn't blame me. We bad to eat it all alone. We only made a good beginning at dinner, and we dined so late, after waiting for Tom, that we hadn't much appetite for supper For breakfast we hadn't mach appetite either that it. not for turkey.
