Summary
The time is in 1946. When the writer were taking dinner in a restaurant, a married couple came in and started their dinner. Then suddenly a shiny birthday cake was served with orchestra music to the husband from the wife, and the people in the restaurant also applauded. However, it hurt his feelings and the husband grumbled to his wife severely.
My Impression
This story is simple and looks like daily happening, and I felt like that, too. However it's not so simple story. The key point of this story is the year. It was written in 1946 which is the day of finishing World War Ⅱ. We can guess the couple in this story loved each other before going to the War. But long period ugly War changed and warped the husband's heart and their relation.
