उत्तर
Yes, the husband was considerate. We know this from his kindness and nice behaviour.
- He had been saving money to buy a gun and go hunting with a few of his friends in an area near Nanterre this summer.
- But when he saw his wife was unhappy and wanted to buy a new outfit, he gave her all his savings.
