The apartment is empty, except for a few pieces of furniture in the den, from Mrs. Gardenia's son. The rooms are dark and full of shadows. Faint blue light comes through the win- dows. Guy turns into the living room, Rosemary to the bedroom; there are many packages spread on the floor (resultsof the shopping) and a solitary vanity. Rosemary kneels, opens a wooden crate, and pulls out three plates from the shavings. Guy comes in; she hands him the plates and starts putting back the shavings.

Rosemary brings the shelf into the Living Room, puts it on the floor; they picnic on it - tuna sandwiches and beer - sitting on the rug.
