The point of view in the story is a third person narrator, but the
perspective changes going from the wife to the husband and an
objective narrator who tells it like it is. The story is told
retrospectively in the past tense. The narrator is omniscient - that
is 'he' knows all but judges nothing. On the first page it seems it is
the waiter objectively telling us what is going on whereas the second
page is told by the wife and the last paragraphs of the third and
fourth [and last] page in our story is told to us by George (the
husband).
