The Woman Who Had Imagination
By
H.E. Bates
Important Points
1. The
brake a carriage carrying a group of musicians, lovers and beloved women is
moving at a country road at a peaceful speed. All the members are so enthusiastic
that they are cutting jokes with one another. They were going towards Antonio
Serelli s’ house
2. A
draper Alfred is more inclined to music instead of his business. He has
organized a music group named “Orpheus Male Voice Glee Singers” which takes
part along with other music bands in music competitions at Antonio s’ house
every year
3. Alfred
s’ young son who is very sensitive, looks after the shop. He sees no particular
change in the life for the next fifty years. He hates the dummies in the shop
and wishes that one of them should come enliven
4. The
brake passes through a forest facing bumpy ride. They stop at an Ale House to
have drinks then they pass by a village having a fortress like church.
5. Henry
Solly the son of Alfred Solly is a different kind of young man who shows no
interest and thinks the whole voyage useless. He feels remorse on his coming
6. This
young guy observes the band closely. He sees that a blond handsome man advances
to a school teacher whom he thinks very hot
7. They
hear the birds sounds and jays cooing and the sleepy farmers who wave their
welcome gestures under the shady trees
8. At
last the whole group enters the Antonio s’ house who lives with his sister
Madalena a twenty eight year old woman. She has black beautiful eyes and is married
to an abnormal and jealous old man
9. All
the party members move around the lawn and see the old decorated house. When
Henry knows about the reality of Madalena s’ marriage from the fish mongers
then he hits the idea of “The woman who had imagination”
10. Madalena
s’ husband is narrow minded and jealous, he wants his wife sitting before him
and read books to him. This is why she comes out rarely. He has no proper
eating manners
11. Henry
walks around the lake , his meeting with Madalena becomes the focal point of
the story
12. On
their way back, sitting silently in the brake Henry thinks about the woman who possesses
imagination. Possibly she loves Henry but she is helpless
