The Golden Patch
Instrueret af W.A. MartinAmos Grubbins is a long, lean, lank, stingy, money-grabber, who uses laundry-soap for shaving, and wears hideously patched clothes (said patches concealing much gold of the realm). While Amos loves money, he does not love labor, and his hardworking wife vainly endeavors to get him to spade up their little garden. One night a fire breaks out near Grubbins' house, and he rushes to the scene in his nightgown, intent upon almost any form of loot he can get. His wife takes advantage of his absence and the presence of his patched trousers, to raid the patch for the price of a new dress. Amos returns soon after from the fire, much heated and with a cold in his head. The next day he wants to go fishing, and while grubbing for worms in the garden, he discovers gold pieces. His wife, unfortunately, did not sew up the patch tightly, so that it leaked coin. The result is that Amos, in his mad search for gold, spades up the entire garden and eventually finds all of his gold with the exception of the two pieces which went into his wife's new dress. This was the first day's honest work that Grubbins had accomplished in a long time, and he paid for it himself.
