"It is a very profitable investment," continued her husband. "What per cent. do you think it pays me?"
"Ten per cent.," guessed Mrs. Craven.
"More than that. During the last year it has paid me twenty per cent."
"That is a great deal," said his wife, in surprise.
"To be sure it is, but not at all uncommon. You, I suppose, have not got more than seven or eight per cent. for your money?"
"Only six per cent."
Mr. Craven laughed softly, as if to say, "What a simpleton you must be!"
"I didn't know about these investments," said his wife. "I don't know much about business."
"No, no. I suppose not. Few women do. Well, my dear, the best thing you can do is to empower me to invest your money for you in future."
"If you think it best," said Mrs. Craven.
