Quote #4
"Ah, baby. Baby lamb. We're not going to have any bad starts." (112)
The husband (somewhat condescendingly) refers to the wife as a "baby lamb"—a lamb is traditionally a symbol of innocence, youthfulness, vulnerability, etc. But there's a certain irony in his statement that they won't have any bad starts—since they're sort of already having a bad start. But we bet he's thinking mainly about the sexytimes ahead.
