"He was a commercial artist who'd had a good run of luck, and he'd decided he could now afford something long dear to his heart - a solid year of painting and experimenting without feeling the need to sell anything." Now that's something the rest of us can envy!
Cliff and Betty head off to a remote little town and a rented cottage where they immediately insult the locals with their brusque city attitude. Suddenly their selfish desire to be alone turns into a miserable sense of isolation. Things are finally resolved when Cliff needs rescuing from a pond where he has fallen through the ice trying to rescue a duck. Yup, I said "a duck".
The moral of the story? Don't selfishly hog your love, your neighbours need some lovin' too. Either that or let the dumb duck freeze already. Sheesh!
