How we cite our quotes: (Paragraph)
Quote #4
"We know darn well what's going to happen next. I mean. I mean—well, we know it's going to be great. Well, we know we're going to be happy. Don't we?"
"Oh, of course," she said. "Only you think of all the people, and you have to sort of keep thinking. It makes you feel funny. An awful lot of people that get married, it doesn't turn out so well. And I guess they all must have thought it was going to be great." (24-25)
The wife's marital/sexual anxieties don't go away—they'll continue bugging her for the rest of the story. Also, it's hard to disentangle to what extent she's worried about the specifically sexual part and to what extent she's worried about continuing to fight and bicker.
Quote #5
"You know, lots of times," he said, "they say that girls get kind of nervous and yippy on account of thinking about—I mean. I mean—well, it's like you said, things are all sort of mixed up and everything, right now. But, afterwards, it'll be all right. I mean. I mean—well, look honey, you don't look any too comfortable." (42)
The husband seems to guess what's going on—though he doesn't seem preoccupied with his wife's larger concerns about marriage. He's just hoping that finally having sex will help put his wife's mind to rest about these things.
Quote #6
"And when you've finished writing your letters," he said, "maybe I could get you a magazine or a bag of peanuts."
"What?" she said.
"I mean," he said, "I wouldn't want you to be bored."
"As if I could be bored with you!" she said. "Silly! Aren't we married? Bored!" (84-87)
Even though the wife is talking about writing letters, and that's ostensibly what the husband says he wouldn't want her to be "bored" doing, it's pretty obvious—given the greater context of these comments—that they're still talking about sex.
