TEXT: THE GUEST OR 
THE PARTY? 
The old man, the well-off uncle, arrived early 
to tea - it was the first of the month, his 
regular day. But just before his coming, the 
young couple had themselves been invited to a 
party for that same aftemoon - a "good" party. 
They stood now in the hall wondering how it 
would be possible , even at this late hour, to 
escape from their guest. 
"After ali, any aftemoon does for him" , said the 
wife, laying her hand on the drawing-room 
door. 
"But, darling, do remember - This is quite a 
red-letter day for the old boy, he gets out so sel­
dom . " 
"Exactly, that's what I say. It' s ali the same to 
him when he comes." 
"It would be idiotic to offend him." 
"It would be idiotic to refuse the Goodwins -
it' s just luck our being asked at all, and, if we 
refuse, they will not think of us again. "
