Opening remarks[]
There's nothing a hard-working man like Captain Povey likes more at the end of a hard day than to relax for an hour or two in the peace and quite of his own home. Of course, with a wife like Mrs Povey he doesn't stand a dog's chance of relaxing for a second. He certainly doesn't this evening because its Mrs Povey's intention to do the household accounts, as soon as Henry as finished his high tea.
