Three
thousand

He
leaned
forward
,
licking
his
lips
,
nervously
spreading
and
closing
his
fingers
,
while
he
watched
Martin
write
a
check
.
When
it
was
passed
over
to
him
,
he
glanced
at
the
amount
-
seven
thousand
dollars
.
"
I
—
I
can
’
t
afford
to
pay
more
than
six
per
cent
,
"
he
said
huskily
.
Martin
wanted
to
laugh
,
but
,
instead
,
demanded
:
-
"
How
much
would
that
be
?
"
"
Lemme
see
.
Six
per
cent
—
six
times
seven
—
four
hundred
an
’
twenty
.
"
"
That
would
be
thirty
-
five
dollars
a
month
,
wouldn
’
t
it
?
"
Higginbotham
nodded
.
"
Then
,
if
you
’
ve
no
objection
,
well
arrange
it
this
way
.
"
Martin
glanced
at
Gertrude
.
"
You
can
have
the
principal
to
keep
for
yourself
,
if
you
’
ll
use
the
thirty
-
five
dollars
a
month
for
cooking
and
washing
and
scrubbing
.
The
seven
thousand
is
yours
if
you
’
ll
guarantee
that
Gertrude
does
no
more
drudgery
.
Is
it
a
go
?
"
Mr
.
Higginbotham
swallowed
hard
.
That
his
wife
should
do
no
more
housework
was
an
affront
to
his
thrifty
soul
.
The
magnificent
present
was
the
coating
of
a
pill
,
a
bitter
pill
.
That
his
wife
should
not
work
!
It
gagged
him
.
