“Soup will stand considerable starvation and yet seem hearty,” she deploy. So I do so.
Last Wedsday she approach up to me with arms full of roll-up material.
“I have dishcovered now so I can save 9$!” she deploy with glee-club voice.
“Such saving may involve great expense,” I corrode brightly.
She neglect my chivalry.
“I am determined to paper bedroom of upstairs,” she rake off. “This shall be done by home-made labour. These wallpapers what I got only cost 10c. per roll, thusly saving 1$. Experienced paper hangmen require 4$ per day. It take 2 such to paste a room properly. I shall employ you for nothing to do this valuable task, thusly saving 8$. Therefore, I save 1$ + 8$ = 9$.”
“What clever stingyness you think up!” I oblate. No response from her.
She led me upwards to bedroom where that job must be.
“Have you any knowledge of paper-hanging?” she ask it.
“I never before attended such a lynching,” was answer I make.
