First Sentence
"In the week which preceded the outbreak of the Second World War — days of surmise and apprehension which cannot, without irony, be called the last days of peace — and on the Sunday morning when all doubts were finally resolved and misconceptions corrected, three rich women thought first and mainly of Basil Seal."

Description
Set during the first year of Britain’s involvement in World War Two, this satirical novel takes as its theme the so called Phoney War, when the British Army were almost wholly restricted to tactical manoeuvres and building up the strengths of the regiments. It features several characters than recur in Waugh’s earliest novels.
