The red-faced foreigner viewed the clay statue of the horse—which he thinks is "marvellous"—as a decorative item and conversation piece. The New Yorker assures Muni that the statue will have a very good home and that he will clear away some books and bookcases (and maybe even the television) to make room for it in his living room, even if his wife disagrees. He plans to keep him in the center of the room so that, when they have parties, people will stand around with their drinks and admire him. Realizing that he cannot take the horse on the airplane, he plans to give up his air ticket and go by boat, keeping the statue in the cabin with him, while his wife goes ahead by air.
