Answer: First of all, Irving describes them both as miserly. In fact they are both so concerned with penny-pinching that they are willing to cheat each other. The wife will hide whatever she can from Tom, including eggs. In turn, he spends hours trying to find the stash of goods that she has hidden. Secondly, they both love to quarrel
