I Promised Grannie to Stay With Her, and Then I Go Home

Archer is consumed by the same wants and the same longings as his wife. When he asks her to come home, she says: 'I promised grannie to stay with her' He can't let her go back to her husband; if i were to let her come, he said to himself, i should have to let her go again. There's no use attempting the impossible. You're so unprejudiced some things,. so used, as you say, to looking at the gorgon, that i don't know why you're afraid to face our case and see it as it really is. unless you think the sacrifice is not worth making.
