A final question: When Mrs. Olson arrived for dinner bearing her special cake, was she expecting Peggy and Abe to announce that they were engaged? On reconsidering the scene, it seems clear that she was, or at any rate, that?s how I read her remark, as they lingered after the meal, that, ?This is taking a little longer than I thought.? If that?s the case, you can sort of understand her spite: In weighing her conflicting priorities, Peggy?s mother was ready to make peace with the prospect of her daughter marrying ?the Jew,? as long as it meant that she was getting married. Instead, she was informed of this alternative arrangement?an arrangement, incidentally, that I suspect Peggy would have been perfectly happy with had Joan not introduced the expectation of anything more. Mrs. Olson is withering in that final encounter, and it?s devastating. But her overreaction feels real.? No wonder she takes the baked goods back: In her view, she?s being asked to neither have her cake, nor eat it.
