"I cleaned it with a damp cloth dipped in powdered borax. That always makes nickel bright and clean."
"I might have done that for you, Betty. Why didn't you suggest it to me?"
"Oh, this house is so small and dear that I enjoyed every minute of my house-cleaning. And I didn't want to bother you with it at all."
"Well, I'll help now with dinner. What can I do?"
"Will you cut the bread, dear? There's the steel bread knife; doesn't it look bright and shiny, too? I cleaned all my steel knives by dipping them into the earth in a flower pot I keep filled for that purpose. Well, I think dinner is ready now, Bob."
For dinner they had:
Broiled Steak French Fried Potatoes
Stuffed Onions
Bread Currant Jelly
Orange Tapioca Whipped Cream
Coffee
