"It was a wonderful edition, Madeline," Henry said as he walked to the sofa. "Did you see the Swift book also?"

"Yes. I browsed through it. You know some people write their memoirs. Swift wrote his platitudes."

Jerry and Madeline smiled, while Henry guffawed at his witticism.

"Oh, Madeline," Henry said, "never mind the Dickens book. Let your customer have it. I'll learn to do without it."

She stood up. She knew.

"I'll get you some lemonade," she said, hurrying to the kitchen, though she knew, that whether she hurried or not, he would be gone in a few minutes.
