"Remember how I acted when that molar abscessed? Lord, you are a 'long-suffering woman! Always did t up with so much--good picture of y Cobb here, well it is good to see him again--always put up--" His voice faded as his attention be- came absorbed in scores. After a moment he looked up, the memory of his wife and her tears strongly visible. "I never knew you to cry over a tcothache before, Molly," he said anx- "ously, "I mever knew" "It's all right now," she said dully as she stood up. =~ "The--the pain shouldn't-be new to me; I guess--I « oan But she Fd couldn't.
