“Your tongue is the Devil's Lash -- Conquer It.”
Ralph Murray and his wife are devoted to each other, yet they have their usual lovers' quarrels. One afternoon, Murray calls to see a friend, Jack Carson by name, who insists that Murray take his wife to luncheon. It so happens that Mrs. Murray sees her husband with "the other woman." The gossips spread the news fast, which develops into a suicide and a death by a broken heart. Speak no evil and the world is a song; speak thou evil and the world goes wrong.

Andrew Crocker-Harris is an embittered and disliked teacher of Greek and Latin at a British prep school. After nearly 20 years of service, he is being forced to retire for 'health reasons', and perhaps may not even be given a pension. The boys regard him as a Hitler, with some justification. His unfaithful wife Laura tries to hurt him in any way she can. Andrew must come to terms with his failed life and at least regain his own self-esteem.
