Book excerpt: Excerpt from Double Life: A Novel Geoffrey Pemberton's position in this world of ours was rather betwixt and between. In essence, I suppose, he belonged to the middle-class, but if anyone had asked him to which class he did belong he would have answered uncertainly, suggesting that a man of letters belonged to no definite class, and claiming that the novelist, the poet, the painter all alike were half Bohemian and, in virtue of their intelligence, half aristocrat: he would have talked vaguely of the democracy of intellect, the aristocracy of brains, the freemasonry of achievement - but he would not have talked much, because after all the subject would not interest him. If he was a snob he certainly did not know it. He was thirty-six years old, married and with two children. His wife, Olivia, half Scotch, half English, was a year his junior. He had for her that complete but reticent affection which although hardly fashionable now would have been a source of gratification to the framers of the Marriage Service. Certainly he had not married her unadvisedly, lightly or wantonly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
