The chapter opens with the narrator thanking the reader for giving him a lift. He tells the reader that he and his fiancee are "physically unlike ly" and that they will be a "good married couple" . The narrator then asks the reader to move his arm so that he can accompany him to the "storage aisle" , where he can buy things for his new home. The two of them discuss what they will do with their new home, and the narrator says that he will buy simple things, like clothes and accessories, but he will also buy more expensive things, such as furniture and plants. He also suggests that they change the wallpaper and paint the room, but the narrator refuses, saying that he is rooming with his fiancee. He then suggests that the couple put down a hammock on the veranda, which the narrator finds "pretty fun"
