One dollar and elghty-seven cents. That was all And sixty cents of It was n pennies. Penniles saved one and two at a time by buldozing the
grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such cose dealing
Impled. Three times Della counted It. One dollar and elghty- seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.
There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life
Is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.
While the mistress of the home Is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week.

In the vestibule below was a letter-box into which no letter would go, and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring., Also
appertaining thereunto was a card bearing the name "Mr. Jarmes Dillingham Young.
The "Dillingham" had been flung to the breeze during a former period of prosperity when its possessor was being pald $30 per week. Now, when
the income was shrunk to $20, though, they were thinking seriously of contracting to a modest and unassuming D. But whenever Mr. James

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
