for my wife.He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows.When
I arrived home that evening,Henry was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for his
work..
My wife said to me,quietly,“That,s his ninth cup of tea today.”But she said loudly,
"It's a beautiful table,dear,isn't it?"
"I won't decide about that until I see that bill.”I said.
