She finds profound joy in the small domestic details, especially after her hard manual labor in a prison camp and long recovery to good health. Yet, everyone insists that she must marry, and marry quickly. Even her best female friend married a soldier, then got a divorce and a job. Still, she urges this woman to get married. Her father's colleague remarries, which she finds humorous and disgusting. Her father's assistant is engaged, but clearly interested. She firmly and diplomatically makes him a friend rather than a potential romantic partner. Her aunt begs to set her up with a handsome young man with prospects. She refused, arguing that her father needed looking after and that she was perfectly happy. So the father pretends to be interested in remarrying a particular woman in their social circle to force his daughter into a marriage for her own good.</blockquote>
