Excerpt: ...GEOFFREY I know my wife. LAMB After a moment's silence. Quite sure you do? GEOFFREY Turns. LAMB Ever seen a sheep fighting mad? I have. Damned sight worse than the old ram. GEOFFREY She doesn't fight the ram. LAMB He makes a sweeping movement that takes in the room, the election-all things. What's all this? We thought woman hadn't got the fighting instinct-that we "knew her." My boy, we're in the infants' class.
