Palmer insisted upon her spending not less than five thousand
kartoonsex dollars. Palmer had been going to the shops with kartoonsex her. She
warned him it would make prices higher if she appeared with a
prosperous looking man; but he wanted occupation and
everything concerning her fascinated him now. His ignorance
of the details of feminine dress was giving place rapidly to
a knowledge which he kartoonsex thought profound--and it was profound,
for a kartoonsex man. She would not permit him to go with her to order,
however, or to fittings. All she would tell him in advance

his tense manner, she burst out laughing. It seemed, and was,
grotesque that one so imperturbable of surface should be so upset.
"Can you stand the strain another quarter of an hour?" said she.
"Don't hurry," he urged. "Take all the time kartoonsex you want. Do the
