The next two months were delightful.

Trina and McTeague saw each other regularly, three times a week.

The dentist went over to B Street Sunday and Wednesday afternoons as usual; but on Fridays it was Trina who came to the city.

She spent the morning between nine and twelve o'clock down town, for the most part in the cheap department stores, doing the weekly shopping for herself and the family.

At noon she took an uptown car and met McTeague at the corner of Polk Street.
