Nobody could be more generous with money than Oliver is I couldn't endure being married to a stingy man like Mr. Treadwell and the other day when one of the men in the office died, he sent the most beautiful wreath that cost ten dollars.

"If her stingy old father, who permitted her to get into the scrape, would come up like a man and pay what he ought to pay, there would be no more pother about this business. He hasn't lived up to his bargain. The Mr.
