But, it so happened that I had received a pretty liberal supply of money from my husband on this very day, all of which I had spent in shopping.

Some of my purchases could not be classed exactly under the head, "Articles of Domestic Economy," and I was, already, in rather a repentant mood--the warmth of admiration at the sight of sundry ornamental trifles having subsided almost as soon as I found myself their owner.

Men are cooler, and have a quicker self control.

They make better hypocrites.
"She's very prompt," I remarked, a little fretfully, as I took out my porte-monnaie.
