Synopsis |  Text Analysis |  Summary |  Questions for Consideration |  Synopsis Stanley ran a furniture factory. His son, Clive, was a student at Cambridge University. This was the first weekend the family had been together since Clive went up to Cambridge. At the dining-table, Stanley began to talk with Clive, wondering if he had once criticized his furniture as being “shoddy and vulgar” before the manager. Clive admitted that he had, and Louise, Clive’s mother, was on his side. Stanley disliked being attacked by both his son and his wife. When he decided to go out for some peace, Clive had to apologize for what he had said about the furniture. Then their topic shifted to college life. Stanley advised his son to make good use of Cambridge. But Clive was not interested in any plan. He would rather be attracted by what he discovered new. When Stanley stressed meeting the right people and the importance of money, Clive just nodded, but he showed his disagreement by refusing to go for a drink with his father.
