Then it is settled, I shall do 9 holes, then supper followed
by the remaining 9 holes. Golf is a noble sport indeed, requiring several
admirable qualities from its participants; an agile mind with a keen sense of
strategy, not to mention the pure strength demanded to get to the green in as
few strokes as possible, but inevitably one must abandon raw power for a steady
hand and nerves of steel when the final put is called for. A noble sport
indeed.
My God, is he still going on about that painting? Did he not
understand that dinner is almost ready to be served? And I have built up
somewhat of an appetite by now, I do hope they serve pheasant. Oh-ooh, he is looking at me, I
better nod and agree.
“Yes,
you are quite right, my dear friend, quite right…”
That
is a HORRIBLE painting, why will he not be quiet about it? One can only hope
that his lack of good taste and inability to sense when he is boring people is
made up for by him being an extraordinary husband. On this matter I am sure that I have made
the right choice for my daughter, if there is one quality I take pride in it is
always having been a marvelous judge of character.
Ah, he is done at last. Let us get downstairs at once, my belly
aches with hunger. What is this? Is he going to start telling about this sea horse
now?? No ,no, no! Ah, false alarm. It looks it like we are finally adjourning.
I simply can’t imagine how his last Duchess put with this constant, self-indulgent
monologuing...
AMAZING!!

Ah, the selfish, patriarchal father-in-law to-be! Well done - he is quite as narcissistic as the Duke in his golf-bore sort of way!
