Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening. A week passed and Delia brought home fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired.

　　“Clementina sometimes gets on my nerves. I’m afraid she doesn’t practice enough. But the general is the best old man! I wish you could know him, Joe. ”

　　And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket.

　　“I’ve sold one of my pictures to a man from Peoria, ” he said,

　　“and he has ordered another. ”

　　“I’m so glad, ” said Delia.

　　“Thirty-three dollars! We never had so much to spend before. We’ll have a good supper tonight. ”

　　Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table. In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage.

　　“What’s the matter with your hand?” said Joe. Delia laughed and said,

　　“Oh, a funny thing happened! Clementina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand. She was very sorry for it. And so was the old general. But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?”

　　“What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Delia?”

　　“Five o’clock, I think. The iron—I mean the soup—was ready about five. Why?”

　　“Delia, come and sit here, ” said Joe. He drew her to the couch and sat beside her.
