He took the son in his car and went to mom’s office
They witness affair
They came back home and dad left
After a while mom came home bleeding
View point & Voice
Takes view of observer
Indifferent voice

Make it more tragic 
Impressive points
Dad saw mom as a 19 year old girl who is about to get
marry, not as a successful lawyer
At the end of the story, it describes a photo of mom and dad
which was taken at the trade show of dad’s first film.
It describes them beautifully

The love which ‘was’ beautiful
Author try to say

Andrew Porter was anonymous for 8 years.
It seems like he is trying to say his beautiful but
miserable love by using character which is film
maker, the artist like himself.
Connection
It says a sad story with indifferent voice.

But if we closely look in to it, there is a beautiful romance
hidden by the mood.
Remains for a while.
Thank You
