Life was not easy for Della. She lived in a very small apartment. It cost eight dollars a week. She had to spend her money very wisely.
At the entrance of the apartment, there was a doorbell. But this didn¡¯t work anymore. There was also a letterbox. But it was too small for letter. It really wasn¡¯t a very good apartment.
On the letterbox, there was the name ¡°Mr. James Dillingham Young.¡± This was Della¡¯s husband.
A long time ago, Mr. James Dillingham Young was proud of his name. Once, his salary was thirty dollars a week. Now, it was only twenty. Twenty dollars never bought very much. But, sometimes, that didn¡¯t matter. When he came home, his wife always greeted and hugged him. He was her ¡°Jim.¡±
