From purchasing some little bric-a-brac statue that looks like Marie Antionette, a Dresden statue? -- who cares? -- simply to impress Mrs. Drysdale (Harriet Mac Gibson) to having to haul out a wedding gift that a visiting aunt gave them and nobody remembers what she gave them! But they are all plodding about in the attic trying to find it! So what do they do? They haul EVERYTHING out of the attic and set it up in the house. Basically this involved more very similar little statues, many throw pillows, some pictures to hang up.
Now enter Mrs. Drysdale for a visit and WELL! What a home she has! Look at all this . . . . oh, they're just . . . . lovely.
So its gone from purchasing one little statue for $250 to impress one woman to setting up the house with all the bits and pieces in the attic to impress another. Get real! And in the end? Made no sense. The salesman who had accompanied Mrs. Drysdale to the Stone home and gawked in a shocked manner at all the wedding gifts, BOUGHT all the wedding gifts from the Stones and the difference paid for the silly little statue to begin with.
Donna actually said the whole thing began with the statue, but in truth, the aunt's visit had nothing to do with the statue or Mrs. Drysdale, so that wasn't true. The aunt's visit was only the reason why all the wedding gifts were set up in the living room.
Mainly what has caused me to write this was all the 'conflict' and 'drama' from trying to impress two entirely different ladies. Is this what life was all about back then? Just impress, just impress.
