Error! If he had hadthe courage he would have left his purse in the house as Ruth invariablydid. But men are moral cowards.
He had calculated thus:--Return fare, four shillings a week. Agreedterms at boarding-house, twenty-five shillings a week. Total expensesper week, twenty-nine shillings, --say thirty!
On the first day he spent fourteen shillings on nothing whatever--whichwas at the rate of five pounds a week of supplementary estimates! On thesecond day he spent nineteen shillings on nothing... whatever, and Ruthinsisted on his having tea with herself and Nellie at theirboarding-house; for which of course he had to pay, while his own tea waswasting next door. So the figures ran on, jumping up each day. Mercifully, when Sunday dawned the open wound in his pocket wastemporarily stanched. Ruth wished him to come in for tea again. Herefused--at any rate he did not come--and the exquisite placidity of thestream of their love was slightly disturbed.
