Read the passage.

The shoemaker boiled up some water for tea and sat down at the table with a cupful and a thick slice of lemon.
“So how,” he sighed after a sip, “did you enjoy?”
“It was all right.”
He was silent. She [Miriam] must have sensed his disappointment, for she added, “You can’t really tell much the first time.”
“You will see him again?”
Turning a page, she said that Max had asked for another date.
“For when?”
“Saturday.”
“So what did you say?”
“What did I say?” she asked, delaying for a moment—“I said yes.”. . .
What does this conversation between Feld and Miriam from “The First Seven Years” by Bernard Malamud suggest might happen?


Feld’s plans for Miriam and Max will collapse.

Feld will experience a heart attack and hardship.

Sobel and Miriam will face a difficult future.

Sobel will return to work at the shop.
