passage?
| Abd
Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out
to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious
metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and
ardent spirit.
"Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it.
You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now.
Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."
Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and
put his hands under the back of his head and smiled.
"Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away
and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at
present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your
combs."
- "The Gift of the Magi,"
