Muriel Rainwater is a hefty, rich woman who seeks a girdle strong enough to hold her in. Edward meets her when he is working in the lingerie section of a department store, a phase in Edward’s career that Wallace characterizes as “his second labor.” At first, Muriel refuses to be served by a man, but Edward wins her over and provides her with the girdle of her dreams, thus conquering his second labor.
