Den tjocka heltäckningsmattan var också som ett hav av grädde och den gamla franska rokokosängen, bred och pösande, var det likaså. Kuddarna var guldfärgade. Och det var också amorinen som hängde i ett band från taket. På ena vägen satt en väldig guldspegel som kunde spegla sängens fröjder eller den person i sin nakenhet som steg i eller ur bädden.

En vana står man ut med, för den blir med tiden så gott som omärklig. Och vad beklagade hon sig över? Hon hade fått det trygga liv hon förmodligen inte var i stånd att leva utan och den gode okomplicerade man som hon helhjärtat kunde hålla av och respektera." Eva älskar sin make Göran, en förståndig man som var läkare till yrket. Deras liv tillsammans är tryggt, stabilt och alldeles förutsägbart.
