The First World Joseph O'Neill

The story describes Arty's constant source of worry, that is, Glady's dependence on him. The protagonist "listens" to him, but not so much interested in Arty's worry.
What bothers and disappoints Arty is the cold attitudes of Glady's brothers, former employers, relatives, protagonist's ex-wife, and her "grand-daughters." They would not spend a penny to assist her. The protagonist himself is one of the cold people, who has been uneasy for the loss of his wallet, but not so serious about it. He is an optimistic man: he thinks "the world would return " his wallet.
The contrast between the cold people and the protagonist's "belief" in the goodwill of the people is interesting.
