“It is a dreadful thing to be poor a fortnight before Christmas, ” said Clorinda, with the mournful sigh of seventeen years.Aunt Emmy smiled. Aunt Emmy was sixty, and spent the hours she didn’t spend in a bed, on a sofa but Aunt Emmy was never heard to sigh.“The gifts which money can purchase are not the only ones we can give,” said Aunt Emmy gently, “nor the best, either.”“Oh,&I know it's nicer to give something of your own work,” agreed Clorinda, “but materials for fancy work cost too. That kind of gift is just as much out of the question for me as any other.”“That&was not what I meant,” said Aunt Emmy.“What&did you mean, then?” asked Clorinda, looking puzzled.Aunt&Emmy smiled.“Suppose&you think out my meaning for yourself,” she said. “That would be better than if I explained it. Besides, I don't think I&could&explain it. Take the beautiful line of a beautiful poem to help you in your thinking out: 'The gift without the giver is bare.”“I'd&put it the other way and say, 'The giver without the gift is bare,” said Clorinda. “That is my predicament(窘境)exactly. Well, I hope by next Christmas I'll not be quite bankrupt. I'm going into Mr. Callender's store down at Murraybridge in February. He has offered me the place, you know.”“Won't&your aunt miss you terribly?” said Aunt Emmy gravely. “I&think she would rather have your companionship than a part of your salary, Clorinda,” said Aunt Emmy. “But of course you must decide for yourself, dear.” “Well,&I must say bye-bye and run home.” Clorinda&lived just across the road from Aunt Emmy in a tiny white house behind some huge willows. But Aunt Mary lived there too--the only relative Clorinda had, for Aunt Emmy wasn't really her aunt at all. Clorinda had always lived with Aunt Mary ever since she could remember.Clorinda&puzzled over Aunt Emmy's meaning for days. Then all at once it came to her. On&Christmas Day, Clorinda went over to Aunt Emmy's.Aunt Emmy was lying on the sofa before the fire, and Clorinda sat down beside her.“I've&come to tell you all about it,” she said. “Aunt&Emmy, I thought for days over your meaning ... And then one evening it just came to me. At first I didn't think I&could&give some of them, and then I thought how selfish I was. I would have been willing to pay any amount of money for gifts if I had had it, but I wasn't willing to pay what I had. I got over that, though, Aunt Emmy. Now I'm going to tell you what I did give.”“First,&there was old Aunt Kitty. You know she was my nurse when I was a baby. She is always glad when I go to see her, but I've never gone except when I couldn't help it. She is very deaf, and rather dull and stupid, you know. Well, I gave her a whole day. I took my knitting yesterday, and sat with her the whole time and just talked and talked. She was
she told me when I came away that she hadn't had such a nice time for years. ”“Then&there was ... Florence. You know, Aunt Emmy, we were always intimate friends until last year. Then Florence once told Rose Watson something I had told her in confidence. I found it out and I was so hurt. I couldn't forgive Florence, and I told her plainly I could never be a real friend to her again. Florence felt badly, because she really did love me, and she asked me to forgive her, but it seemed as if I couldn't.
