THE CONFESSION OF A FOOL 197
On our last Sunday in the country she took me aside,
talked in flattering terms of my generosity, appealed to
my kind heart and begged me to cancel Miss Amy’s debt
to us, pleading her very small means.
I consented without discussing the matter, without
telling her that I had anticipated the suggestion, foreseen
the trick, the inevitable trick. But she, armed to the
teeth with arguments, even when she was unopposed,
continued
—
" If not, I could, if necessary, pay her share for her !
"
No doubt she could have done so. But could she have
paid for the annoyance and trouble caused by her
friend ? . . .
Ah, well—husband and wife must not fall out over
trifles.
