TEN DOLLARS AND A JOB FOR BUD.
To withhold for his own start in life only one ten-dollar bill from fifteen hundred dollars was spectacular enough to soothe even so bruised an ego as Bud Moore carried into the judge's office.

There is an anger which carries a person to the extreme of self-sacrifice, in the subconscious hope of exciting pity for one so hardly used.

Bud was boiling with such an anger, and it demanded that he should all but give Marie the shirt off his back, since she had demanded so much--and for so slight a cause.
Bud could not see for the life of him why Marie should have quit for that little ruction.

It was not their first quarrel, nor their worst; certainly he had not expected it to be their last.
