provide it with the new

challenges around which the

relationship further develops.Each type of friendship with

ones partner comes into being,

out a friendship item to give

us a shot in the arm. Then we

put it away till another day.

It's unwise to pay too much, but

it's worse to pay too little. When

you pay too much, you lose a

little money — that is all. Whenyou pay too little, you sometimes

lose everything, because the

thing you bought was incapable

of doing the thing it was bought

to do. The common law of

business balance prohibits paying

a little and getting a lot — it can't

be done. If you deal with the

lowest bidder, it is well to add

something for the risk you run,

and if you do that you will haveenough to pay for something

better.

Truth be told, when a dream
