Excerpt from A Family Man: In Three Acts Builder. Glorious October! I ought to have a damned good day's shooting with Chantrey to-morrow. Mrs. Builder. [arranging the flowers] Aren't you going to the office this morning? Builder. Well, no, I was going to take a couple of days off. If you feel at the top of your form, take a rest - then you go on feeling at the top. [he looks at her, as if calculating] What do you say to looking up Athene? Mrs. Builder. [palpably astonished] Athene? But you said you'd done with her? Builder. [smiling] Six weeks ago, but, dash it, one can't have done with one's own daughter. That's the weakness of an Englishman, he can't keep up his resentments. In a town like this it doesn't do to have her living by herself. One of these days it'll get out we've had a row. That wouldn't do me any good. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
