Carolyn couldnt help but note the different degree of intensity in Harolds greeting of her and their dog, Pandora, when Harold arrived from work. He was certainly affectionate and warm enough with Carolyn to make any suggestion of neglect unreasonable. But with Pandora there was a prolonged, effusive wildness, a quality of emotional abandon that would have been fitting for the climactic reunion of Lassie Come Home. Harold collapsed on the couch when he was finished with his transports of joy. His gaze returning to Carolyn signalled a plummet back to earth, where he was ready to resume his responsibilities. He smiled but it was a lesser smile. Pandora seemed to know it too, and gave Carolyn an imperial, commiserating glance before trotting off to the kitchen.
