36 to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a
37 . The woman arrived home that evening to find a beautiful table
38 with their best dishes. Candles were softly burning. Her
39 had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had given him the information
40 , or··· did he just somehow know that she would not get the request
41 ?
She found him in the kitchen and
42 him the good news. They happily sat down to enjoy the wonderful
43 . Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered card which was her husband's
44 of writing. It read “Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.”
