RACE BRADBURY glared at her husband. "How do you expect Grandma to lend us any money if you go to see her in your expensive new suit? Put on your old clothes and then maybe she'll feel sorry for us." George frowned. "Isn't that like lying? After, all you want the money for a trip to Europe, which isn't a necessity. And we never did give her back that last thousand we supposedly borrowed, bor-rowed, which isn't honest either." Grace sighed. "Look, I've said this a dozen times before. Grandma Grand-ma is going to leave us everything every-thing in her will; she has told us that much hasn't she?" George nodded. "All right. Then we're just getting a little on account." "But I just don't feel right about it," George said unhappily. Grace began to lose her thin supply of patience. "Then, dear George," she said sarcastically, "I suggest you try and make enough money so that we can get some pleasure out of life." George flushed deeply and began to put on his old suit. Grandma lived in a neat little cottage at the edge of town with Susan Smith, twenty years her junior. Susan had been her companion com-panion for fifteen years. She had had few opportunities in life but had a lovable disposition. Susan had just put another log into the open hearth fireplace when they heard a car pull up into the driveway. Susan pecked through the curtain and commented, comment-ed, "It's the George Bradburys." Grandma sighed. "Bring me my check book." Susan started toward the desk. "Hold it," Grandma said suddenly.' "By cracky, maybe I won't be such a soft touch this time. Let's hear what the sales pitch is before we buy." "Hello, Grandma," Grace said sweetly, "You look wonderfully well." "Poof," Grandma snorted. "You know," she said with a glint In her eye, "I believe you sounded a little disappointed." "Grandma," Grace said finally, final-ly, "George and I were wondering wonder-ing if you could help us out on a little- project." "How much?" Grandma said bluntly. Grace was startled. "WeU-I-er-we thought about $2,000." "That's a lot of money. What for?" "A trip to Europe. You see, almost al-most all our friends are going this year and we feel that while we are young and can enjoy It we should go." Grace was working work-ing right into her sales pitch. She finally produced some travel folders and showed Grandma scenes of England, France and Germany. Grandma was very interested in-terested and Grace was congratulating congrat-ulating herself. When she ran down Grandma looked thoughtful. "It will take me about a week to raise $2,000 as I don't keep that much in a checking account. Why don't you come back next Saturday?" Grace was delighted. "Of course, Grandma," she said heartily, "It will be lovely to come and see you again." The following Saturday they arrived and were surprised to find Grandma's door ajar. They were even more surprised when they went In to see suitcases and clothes piled up all over the room. "Hello dears," Grandma greeted them. "I'll be leaving in the morning." "Leaving?" Grace stammered. "Yup," Grandma said, grinning. "Those travel folders sure stirred me up. "I've drawn the $2,000 and Susan and I will be catching the non-stop jet for London. She's been wonderful to me ever since she came here and I've wondered what I could do for, her in return. I'm glad you gave me the idea." visiting with his father, Jack Nichols Nich-ols and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Heber Nichols.
