The husband makes a point of listening to everything his wife says, in a way he never has. If the wife starts to complain, and he finds himself becoming bored, he is to say to himself (silently), “She’s complaining because she doesn’t feel appreciated deep down,” and he is to lean forward and pay even closer attention to what she is saying. “The more I give to her,” he tells himself, “the more she will be able to give to me.” He leans forward and listens as closely as possible while he sensuously sucks on oysters.
When they have finished, he says, “Would you care for coffee or tea?” He brings the beverage on a tray, adding, “Don’t worry about the dishes. I’ll do them later.” (he eventually carries them into the kitchen, rinses them in the sink, and returns.) “And now, for the final treat of your queendom-*-4f my lady please.” He takes her arm and leads her into the bedroom, which is also lighted by candles. He has decorated the bed in an unusual way; it is covered by satin sheets and pillowcases, and colored paper streamers hang from the light fixture (or from the bedposts).
