But I told him also that I disliked decieving my dear parents, who had raised me from infancy and through meazles, whooping cough and shingles. "Do you mean to say," he said in an astounded voice, "that you have BOUGHT that car?" "I have. And paid for it." Being surprized he put a moth ball into his mouth, instead of a gum drop.
