Howard was bored to tears. He had left his wallet and money behind in his confusion over what to wear and had subsequently arrived at the Mall in a penniless condition. Of course, Anita had her purse with its full complement of credit cards, wallet and checkbook, but he didn’t see anything he wanted enough to ask her to buy as if he was an unproductive, income-less adolescent. Toward the end of the trip, she took him into a furniture store to look for a new dining room set. Howard complained that the really didn’t have the money for such an extravagance, but she told him that she expected a big raise with her promotion and that she was only looking anyway. He grudgingly followed her through the store as she made the grand tour, looking at every stick of furniture that they had to offer. At one point, Anita stopped to admire a nursery suite of matching solid oak. The furniture was handsome and priced accordingly. Howard had little patience with Anita’s obsession with having a baby. Every time she went to a furniture store she would gaze longingly at the nursery furnishings and tell him how adorable it looked.
