To impress the guests, Crawford and Redgrave have carted off the sculptor's jackdaw furniture and replaced it with elegant antiques "borrowed" from the neighboring apartment of an exquisitely gay bachelor (Donald Madden) supposedly away for the weekend...
...surprise, Mendel escapes by courting a deeply disturbed woman. When he marries her and takes on fresh responsibilities, he finds himself free. Given the same sort of opportunity, Meyer remains trapped. He falls in love with Lena, a middle-aged sculptor, but when the time comes to declare himself, he retreats into his customary caution-waiting, watching, chary before choice. Then at last Lena does him a favor-she dies. At her funeral, Meyer surveys her friends. "Terrible people," he tells himself later. "Terrible. I should never have gotten involved." He never will again...
