Summer vacation, 1958 – he took lots of photos and showed them to Lucy at length. She’s obviously forgotten. No wonder he’s so rude to her here! :-)

This one I always found annoying. Lucy finally shows genuine interest in Beethoven, and Schroeder just blows her off. Over what? Some “rule” that, even for 1965, had to be considered outmoded.
