My wife said to me，quietly , “ That’s his ninth cup of tea today . ” But she said loudly, “It’s a beautiful table，dear，isn’t it?”

“I won’t decide about that until I see that bill.” I said.

Henry laughed and gave me his bill for the work. It said：

“Yes. Hotter一and more expensive. Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30^th , won’t they , Henry?”
