Question One for "Cat in the Rain"

In the story, “Cat in the Rain,” rewrite the scene where George tells his wife to “shut up,” but tell it, instead, from his point of view (limited omniscient).

Staring at her puzzled as her wife talks about looking like a boy, George said “You look pretty darn nice.” As he tries to read, his wife speaks again, this time about a smooth knot and a kitty, “ Yeah?” George said. Trying to read, his wife again disturbs him and all hears is eating silver candles and a kitty with clothes. Losing his patience he says “Oh shut up and get something to read.”

We our suppose to be on a hoilday relaxing and enjoying our time, but I can't enjoy myself. If you keep complaining about your hair and how you would like a cat. I like you just the way you are but if you are unhappy just walk down to the beautyshop and get your hair cut short. And if you stop talking about wanting a cat, I'll buy you a cat when we get home.

I was on the bed reading.

Noticing my wife went over and sat in front of the mirror of the dressing looking at herself with the hand glass, I knew new complains would come out.

“Don’t you think it would be a good idea if I let my hair grow out?” she asked.

I looked up and saw the back of her back, clipped close like a boy’s.

“I like it the way it is,” I murmured, starting reading the book again.

“But I get so tired of it,” she said.” And I want to have a kitty to sit on my lap and purr when I strike her.”

“Oh, shut up and get something to read,” I shouted, losing my impatient of her.

George was reading again in bed. It’s supposed to be a good vacation for him because he had been working for 2 years without a break.
His wife sat in front of the mirror of the dressing table looking at herself. She studied her profile.
“Don’t you think it would be a good idea if I let my hair grow out?” She asked.
George looked up and smiled: “I like it.”
“I get so tired of it.” She said.
George shifted his position in the bed and didn’t answer.
“I want to have a kitty to sit on my lap.”
“Yeah?” George said. He was trying to keep his peace.
“And I want to eat at a table with my own silver and I want candles. And I want it to be spring and I want to brush my hair out in front of a mirror and I want a kitty and I want some new clothes.”
“Oh, shut up and get something to read,” George lost his patience. He wanted to say sorry right away, but he was too tired and disappointed to say anything to his wife. He went back reading.
