Summary
Carol has just left her husband, Godfrey, and tells Janet she was sick of his comparing her with his first wife. Janet realises' Godfrey is her own divorced ex-husband. Over more drinks Janet says she was sick of being compared with Godfrey's mother. Suddenly Godfrey's mother, Linda, arrives by a previous arrangement with Carol. This might be awkward, but it transpires that Linda herself was sick of Godfrey who even as a baby had criticised her as against her elder sister, Beatrice. Finally all three women go off together to open a teashop in Scotland, leaving Godfrey presumably to compare Beatrice with all three of them.
