Jerry (Michael Gambon) is a literary agent married to Judith, whom we never see. Robert (Daniel Massey) is a publisher and Jerry's oldest friend. Jerry was Robert's best man when he got married to Emma (Penelope Wilton). In the drunken pass that ignites the affair in Scene 9, Jerry says to Emma, "I should have had you, in your white, before the wedding." Lust will find a way. Jerry rents a place in the country, and the pair make love in the afternoons. But joy is applied like a cosmetic, and pain is masked...
