Muriel had evidently concerned herself. By Lawrance splate there was a little package; he opened it at once, and found a pair of gold cuff-linka. He tried to thank his wife feelingly, but he could not: he aimed at making up for that by emphasis, by saying too much, by taking off the cuff-links that he had on and putting the others in their place. She went over and helped him; he bit his lips to hide his irritation. Oh, whats thist she said rather sharply. She tapped the edge of a little cardboard box that showed protruding from one of his inner pockets. Oh! He took the box out, instinctively countering his impulse to thrust it further down. Do you want to look at it t Something I got for little Olga Flynn. Oh, no; dont trouble to undo the string. She went on putting in his cuff-link. ThereI She sat down again, and they began drinking their soup. It sher birthday to-morrow, you know, darling. Im going up there for lunch from the Office. Yes. Lawrance was furious. He bitterly contested his wifes right to her jealousy. It was not fair for her to be of cold temperament and jealous at the same time. It was absurd, he had known Olga since she was a very little girl: she was a little girl still. He was an old friend of the family. A bsurd. Now if he had taken up with some woman He had never been unfaithful to Muriel, and that reflection angered him further. Perhaps actual patent infidelities were the only means of keeping some wives in order.
