The story opens at the funeral lunch for the great Gerry King". His wife Ellie notes a "murmur of mourners".  This is a perplexing story.  Ellie endures Geery' s infidelities, subtle cruelties, and selfishness.  But this is not a burden to her, she does it gladly for his greatness.  She in fact commits a couple of considerable cruel acts herself for the sake of his reputation.  But I am not at all sure why.  In the end this question makes the story Interesting.  I wonder who this woman is.
