Shopping with a Wife Turns into High Cost Drama
A man recounts a comical yet exasperating shopping trip with his wife as they tour Parisian style shops and couture houses. The scene features D Artagnan's grandfather, Madame Voulezvous, and lavish gowns priced in a humorous hyperbole, reflecting on vanity and the spiraling costs of fashion. The piece ends with a streetside interruption by a book agent turnabout.
