Excerpt from Temple TowerDear lambs, they remarked to one another as the boat cleared the harbour, it will do them good to have a few days' golf all by themselves.However, I still haven't given this pointer. And with it the last hopes of those who insist on a love story will be dashed to the ground. They must have received a pretty severe jolt when this matter of husband and wife was alluded to, though a few of the more Optimistic ones may have had visions of a divorce looming somewhere, or even a bit of slap and tickle. Sorry nothing doing. So if this is the mutton of my restaurant analogy you know what to do. But don't forget this book weighs as much as Pansy, or the Girl who Lost All for Love, and will do just as much damage to the aspidistra if you hit it. Another thing, too, which it does not concern is golf. On that fact, I must admit with shame and sorrow that these two miserable men had deceived their trusting wives. The larger and more nefarious of the two had actually addressed his partner in crime at breakfast that morning on the subjects of handicaps and niblicks and things, and what they were going to do during their few days at Rye. His eye had not twitched: his hand when he helped himself to marmalade had been steady. And yet he lied - the dirty dog - he lied.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
