Holiday Fire Hazards
I presented her with the gift, a slim box about twelve inches long and four inches wide.

But I still had to keep track of the dime bags he packaged by methodically putting a mark in the “10” column for every one he rolled up and, after every fourth mark, on the fifth crossing them with a slash.
