Answer and Explanation:
Mrs. Sommers has a little extra money for the first time in a long time, and she plans to spend it on her children. However, more tired than usual, instead of bargaining and buying what she has planned, she gives in to her desires and impulses. She buys silk stockings, nice shoes and gloves, then eats at a fancy restaurant and watches a play. As she goes back home, back to her harsh real life, a sad feeling takes over her.
