		This time poor Charles - still unable to keep a relationship in good repair, terminally weak-willed and spending too much time romancing a bottle - has landed a part in a tour of a farce before it goes to the West End.

		No, I’m not one of those writers whose idea of a pleasant evening is luxuriating in his own prose, marveling at the euphony of its juxtapositions, the aptness of each sparkling image.
