He is tempted but resists, and instead uses his wife as an outlet for his mounting energies and disintegrating inhibitions, as well as his expanding knowledge of geometrically complex sexual postures. After his wife persuades him to hire a clerk to staff the shop (Beatrice Romand), Claude tries to seduce the clerk, but she turns out to be more interested in Claude's wife.
