"Matrimony has taught me a lot, MacGregor! I've learned—well, now, you'd never think that all this dinner was cooked in the oven, would you? Well, it was: baked ham, baked potatoes, baked apples, and the cakes—Bettina's cakes, I call 'em. You see, my wife thinks of things like that—a good dinner and saving gas, too!"
"Oh, Bob!" said Bettina, with a scarlet face.
"You needn't be embarrassed, Bettina, it's so! I was just telling 'Mac' as we came in, that two can live more cheaply than one provided the other one is like you—always coaxing me to add to our bank account. It's growing, too, and I never could save before I was married!"
