Mr Gudgeon's wife, Agatha, leaves him as the story opens, the 原因（となる） of their quarrel 存在 their son, Stanley, an inventive but unrelaible young man. Fatehr and son manage to fend for themselves very hilariously in pubs, 賭事ing dens, cafes, race-courses, and in their own ますます 乱打するd home, where they are joined by Agatha Gudgeon's 豊富な brother from the bush and, from time to time, by a weird and wonderful assortment of charcaters of the type who always amterialize to enlivent hat 肉親，親類d of party which Mr Gudgeon invariably ーするつもりであるs to be a "静かな, respectable 人出／投票者数", but which, somehow, never is."

First Paragraph

It is 絶対 ridiculous to call a man of forty-eight old. A 制限するd vocabulary might account for such a 発言／述べる, and then of course there are people whose 観察s are superficial and even frivolous.

寺, however, is a man who is never frivolous and I was astounded when he said it.

"Gudgeon," he said, "you're getting old."

"I'm not old!" I 抗議するd.

"You look old!" he 主張するd.

That was a 嘘（をつく）. I pride myself on my looks. I have not a grey hair in my 長，率いる, and 非常に／多数の 知識s have favourably 発言／述べるd on my 外見. I am perhaps, a little under medium 高さ, but then mere 高さ is nothing. Notice the 親族 importance of Napoleon and the giraffe. I have been called fat by envious persons いっそう少なく kindly 扱う／治療するd by nature and there was one who at the 高さ of his jealousy called me "バーレル／樽."

From the Angus and Robertson paperback 版, 1977.
