Mrs. Pearson gives a rude shock to George by telling him that the people at the club laughed at him and made fun of him.

• Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. Fitzgerald live next door to each other. Mrs. Fitzgerald is a clairvoyant. She is a powerful and assertive woman. The two women have a lot of encounters. Mrs. Pearson confides in her next-door neighbor about her concerns. Mrs. Fitzgerald proposes several unconventional approaches to dealing with the family.
• She takes Mrs. Pearson's hands in hers and says something. The two women's personalities shift between bodies. George wonders aloud why his wife is drinking so late in the evening. He expresses his disapproval, but she responds quickly. She mentions how he is the center of attention at the club, where he gets mocked behind his back.
• This is how the changed Mrs. Pearson gives a rude shock to George.
