Summary
It's morning and they have just come home from a dance. The young husband is boiling with jealousy as he throws his weight-- and household objects-- around. His wife danced with an army officer, even flirted with him. He should have taken that officer outside and thrashed him. Except that-- well, could he have been afraid to fight? The action consists of a furious squabble between an enraged man and a taunting woman, handled with rich character humor.
