Question
In a conservatory, a character in this story finds a fountain with wishing coins at the bottom and wonders whether they were glued there as decoration. That character in this story has the word “rat” written in black paint on his door, after he has an affair with one of his students. When the protagonist of this story sees his wife after a month’s absence, he finds her helping a man play bridge by straightening and picking up the cards he drops. In this story originally from the collection Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage, the protagonist is invited to a dance by Marian, whom he romances so that she will let her husband Aubrey visit the protagonist’s wife, who has fallen into a depression at Meadowlake nursing home. For 10 points, name this story by Alice Munro in which Grant copes with his wife Fiona’s dementia. ■END■
