He spends his last money on gifts for his mother sisters and brothers, leaving nothing for Mrs Addison, a kind widow he wishes to impress. He pines over jewelry and gifts but his funds are gone, choosing to delay gratification until he can find a meaningful present.
A man considers his sister in law’s breakfast invite and the odd logic of saving for a Christmas meal. He muses on flowers bought earlier, small gifts, and the plan to give candy at the corner drug store, imagining a jolly breakfast party. The scene ends with hopeful, humorous consumer ruminations.
