Leo and Agnes are the perfect couple; he’s a romantic and she wants his money. Agnes doesn’t tell him that to his face; she lets Leo think he’s in control. He thinks of her as a lovely milk cow; he’s her calf as well as her bull. A dairy with gardens is his ideal— fragrant piles of rich manure beside a green orchard. A bank of her own is her ideal— no need to make deposits for unlimited withdrawals. She thinks of him as a well-trained dog, who’s loyal and friendly, and never poops in house.
