A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had
admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well
afford it, he told him that this car was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father would
buy the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private
study. He told the young man how proud he was to have such a fine son and how much he
loved him. Then he handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat
disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with
the young man's name printed in gold. Angry, he raised his voice to his father and said "With
all your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man became very successful in business. He had a
beautiful home and a wonderful family, but at the back of his mind he kept thinking about his
father. He told himself that his father was getting old and that he should visit him. He had not
seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, however, he
received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and had left all of his possessions
to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He
began to search through his father's papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it
years before. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. And as he did, a car
key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer
who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the
words PAID IN FULL.

What had brought on our latest argument was what I claimed was Diana’s flirtation with
someone’s house guest at a back-yard cocktail party the previous weekend.
“I was not flirting,” she said.
“You were hitting on the guy.”
“Only in your peculiar imagination, Wakefield.”
That’s what she did when we argued – she used my last name. I wasn’t Howard, I was
Wakefield. It was one of her feminist adaptations of the locker-room style that I detested.
“You made a suggestive remark,” I said, “and you clicked glasses with him.”
“It was not a suggestive remark,” Diana said. “It was in reply to something he’d said that was
really stupid, if you want to know. Everyone laughed but you. I apologize for feeling good on
occasion, Wakefield. I’ll try not to feel that way ever again.”
“This is not the first time you’ve made a suggestive remark with your husband standing right
there. And then denied all knowledge of it.”
“Leave me alone, please. God knows you’ve pressured me to the point where I’ve lost all
confidence in myself. I don’t relate to people anymore. I’m too busy wondering if I’m saying
the right thing.”
“You were relating to him, all right.”
“Do you think with the kind of relationship I’ve had with you I’d be inclined to start another
with someone else? I just want to get through each day – that is all I think about, getting
through each day.”
That was probably true. On the train to the city, I had to admit to myself that I’d started the
argument willfully, in a contrary spirit and with some sense of its eroticism. I did not really
believe what I had accused her of. I was the one who flirted with people. I had attributed to
her my own wandering eye. That is the basis of jealousy, is it not? A feeling that your
inherent insincerity is universal. It did annoy me, seeing her talking to another man with a
glass of white wine in her hand, and her innocent friendliness, which any man could mistake
for a come-on, not just me. The fellow himself was not terribly handsome. But it bothered me
that she was talking to him almost as if I were not standing there beside her.
