Uddrag
The husband’s relationship with Belinda however is very engaging. One gets to learn across the story that he has somewhat glamorous feelings for her, although he denies it.
He sees her wearing his wife’s coats, gloves, and etc. and goes to say that “she is rather glamorous”. At the end, he even invites her in to take some coffee on a Sunday morning, reinforcing this theory.
The wife’s relationship with her husband is also very interesting. We understand from the beginning of the story that they are together.
One might even think that they are married, even though us the readers are not told so. In my opinion, the “Oh for god’s sake… be decisive for once!” really reflects upon that they are married.
I would associate this, in this context, as a stereotypical “old couple “quarrels””. He is telling her to be decisive in what seems like a mean way, but in reality, it is to be taken is a light way.
