- Three suits and a violin
Jack Lupton introduces Graham to Ann, a girl on his party in ReptonGardens (April 1977).
They like each other and they start an affair. Unfortunately, Graham is married to his wife Barbara. They have one child, Alice. Graham decides to divorce. First Barbara thinks he wants to divorce, because he has an affair with one of his students from University. When Graham tells her that it is not a student, she screams and becomes very angry. She shouts to him that she want to have the car and the front door keys. Graham does not want anything, she can have everything. He only packs his suitcase and leaves. Now Graham understood the author Aldous Huxley, whose biography was about his house who burned down. His whole library, his notebooks, manuscripts etc burned down. All he chose to save were three suits and a violin.

Alice wanted to go to the cinema. Graham hates the cinema, in spite of that he goes to ‘Over the Moon‘ with his daughter. He thinks Alice wants to go to that movie because everyone from her school had seen it. Suddenly Graham recognized his second wife, Ann, in the movie!
After seen the movie, they go to Alice’s favourite teashop in Highgate. (They had tried every Sunday a teashop in North London.) Alice told Graham her mother said he specially wanted to see this film: to see Ann in one of her most convincing screen roles! Graham tells Alice her mother had made a joke. He tells her to tell her mother that they did not go to that movie, because it was packed! That would be a joke too for her mother. Actually, he wants show Barbara he does not like what she did.
- The cross-eyed bear (schele beer)
Graham visits Jack. He tells him he went back to see the film three times.
He felt very aggressive and upset. He was frightened about the fellow who played in the movie with Ann. He thinks it is all about chaps before she met her. He watched some other films Ann was in.  Graham did not tell everything to Ann, but she is sorry he is jealous. He does not feel guilty.
Graham asks Jack if anything of this is familiar to him. He says: Not really. I am not bad on current jealousies. I am terrific on adultery - my type, not yours.
Jack gives some advice to Graham:
- He could get Ann to lie to him. Get her to tell you she had not when she had.
- Have some row (ruzie), it cures everything.
- Go off and commit adultery
Jack tells Graham every marriage has a cross-eyed bear. There will always be something and the best way to survive is identify it, isolate it, and always make a particular response to it occurs.
