A Good Check.

As he took off his coat his wife said to him gently: “You remember those eight letters I gave you to post three days ago?” He started. “l'es. I—l remember.” “But you didn’t remember to mail them, did you?” she said sweetly. “No, I didn’t. How did you find it out?” “Among them,” she explained, "was a postal card addressed to myself. Since it didn’t reach me, I knew you hadn’t posted my mail. I shall always use this scheme in future.. It only costs a cent, and it makes an excellent check on you. Now give me my letters, and I’ll post them myself.”
