Helen R. Hull follows Florence and Howard through a marriage shaped by work, money and the appearance of comfort. Howard’s life as a travelling salesman keeps him away from home, while Florence resists the smaller income and changed circumstances that a more settled job would bring.
Domestic conversations and social occasions reveal how differently the two understand their obligations and desires. The story develops through their attempts to manage disappointment, dependence and the image of being a good spouse. This complete 1925 story retains James Preston’s illustrations and the original text from Collier’s.
