I am usually a very fast reader but Goddard demands a slower read so you can enjoy sentences like this one:
"Between my wife and me there existed then, as there had for some years past, a curiously unjustified hostility, a mutual disappointment forever in search of trivial slights that could elevate it to the status of a major grievance."
Wham! That's all it takes to completely envision Geoffrey and his wife. I could actually picture them.

>2 Olivermagnus: I loved that line too. Their relationship seems like a contest. Who can get the better of the other one?
