“What sort of holiday is this, you miserable bastard?” shouted Polly as Sowerbutt ducked the telephone directory thrown in his direction as he opened the door to their hotel room. “Out for an hour’s stroll, you said, to get some fresh air and exercise and see the sights of Swansea and it’s now midday. Of course, you forgot to look at the watch I stupidly bought you? Or are we on some damned Welsh time and it’s only 10 o’clock? Is that what it is, James, we’ve gone back in time in this lost corner of the country?”
Before he had a chance to try an excuse, she snapped: “And you’ve been drinking, I can always tell.“I’ve been stuck in this room, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for you to return so we can spend some time together, while you have been swanning around somewhere and pouring booze down your miserable throat. You are such a bad bastard.” http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Lemon-Surrender-1940-ebook/dp/B008USR7FA
