The author tells of a married couple who were Virginia as well as Robert.

At one time the couple visited a theater establishment and watched a play that was taking place.

After the actors had finished their inherent play, the protagonists went to a nearby restaurant. The husband and wife ordered spaghetti and half a bottle of wine for themselves. Soon they began their evening meal and at the same time began discussing the events that had transpired in the past few hours.

Virginia gave her own verdict on the play-it seemed to her to be quite good. But she added that she was tired of women being portrayed on stage only in negative colors. The lady then stated that if she were a famous playwright, she would write a script for a nice play with a glorious plot.

Robert then began to tell his wife about a friend of his named Carol, whose performance they had seen today.
