The woman next to him at the opera house speaks to him.Here's the key line describing Duffy's life up until now: "His life rolled out evenly-an adventureless tale" (A Painful Case.4). And he hardly sees his family, and doesn't really care too much about them. He plays piano at night and sometimes goes out to hear classical music.He rides there in the morning, goes to lunch at the same place every day and then, before heading home alone, he eats dinner and reads the paper at the same restaurant every evening. Duffy works in a bank, and his schedule never changes.Aren't the eyes the window to the soul, though? Well, Duffy's "gave the impression of a man ever alert to greet a redeeming instinct in others but often disappointed." (Here's a fun little game: try making your eyes look like this.) (A Painful Case.2).Duffy's temperament is "saturnine," which is basically like saying he's determined to be sad.
The only unique things about his apartment are the bookshelf and a writing desk-this is a smart guy.
