The Salesman said that he could tell at a glanse that I was
not that sort, being calm in danger and not likly to chase a
chicken into a fense corner and murder it, as some do when
excited.
Jane and I consulted, for buying a car is a serious matter
and not to be done lightly, especialy when one has not consulted
one's Familey and knows not where to keep the car when
purchaced. It is not like a dog, which I have once or twice kept
in a clandestine manner in the Garage, because of flees in the
house.
"The trouble is," Jane said, "that if you don't take it
some one will, and you will have to get one that costs more."
True indeed, I reflected, with my Check Book in my hand.
Ah, would that some power had whispered in my ear "No. By
purchacing the above car you are endangering that which lies
near to your Heart and Mind. Be warned in time."
But no sign came. No warning hand was outstretched to put
my Check Book back in my pocket book. I wrote the Check and
sealed my doom.
How weak is human nature! It is terrable to remember the
rapture of that moment, and compare it with my condition now,
with no Allowence, with my faith gone and my heart in fragments.
