Amid his predictable academic routine, the husband notices that his younger wife may be getting bored; when he comes home in the evenings, he finds her well into the wine they will drink with dinner and listening to opera on the stereo. Roger does not want to think too hard about this and many other things as well: "I am a depressive. It is very important for my mental well-being that I keep my thoughts directed away from areas...
