“You little cheat!” I said slowly.“I know what you bought, a home rally doesnt mean anything to you. All you want is a pile of fancy clothes! Youre like a lot of others, a loose spender, thats what you are.” Janets eyes narrowed to slits and her face showed horror and amazement. It was exactly what I wanted. She got out of bed and stood before me. “Is that what you think of me?” Her anger sent mine up higher.“Youre right, it is!” I exploded. “I just wish I had known in time.” Now we stood on equal ground. “You poor fool!” she said. “You dont even know what youre talking about. You dont even know what marriage is. Youll find out. You have a nice long time to find out, alone. I never want to see you again.” I knew the situation was really serious now, but I had no thought of giving in. Let her go. Shell soon realize I was right and come crawling back.The next day I kept to myself. Suddenly got an idea: Start my favorite golf again. So I bought the clubs I wanted and started to swing them on the floor. One ball, which I hit harder rolled across the living room, through the bedroom and into Janets half-opened closet. I got down on my knees and felt around in a dark corner way at the back. My hands rubbed against a heavy box. I lifted the top of the box and looked inside, I was not prepared for what I saw. It was the best-looking set of golf clubs I had ever seen, better than the ones I had chosen. There was also a golf bag, a dozen balls and a pair of golf shoes. The box was marked. It came from Martels Department Store. It was then that I remembered our wedding anniversary would be Tuesday. All this for me. There was nothing for Janet. Janet, with her love for surprises and her unselfish love for me. How crazy I had been! Janet was right. I was a poor, stupid fool! Go crawling and begging for her to return. And I was man enough to do it. And tomorrow Id do something else. I would hide a mink scarf in my closet. New Words Phrases penny [peni] n. 便士 misplace [m
