    About this ebook

    Roger Audley Brandon graduated from a student, to a company travelling representative, and progressed to management level over years. He married Gwen and quite rapidly became the father of three daughters.
    In his travels he stayed at various small Guest Houses in provincial towns, initially to reduce his expenses, but often stayed at the same Guest House and became quite popular with the owners, so much so that two of the daughters of the owners decided to join him in his bed over the years. The result was pregnancy and more children, which he supported as the putative father of these children.
    Following a take over his employment ran into trouble and on advice he referred his employer to an Employment Tribunal who awarded him substantial damages.
    You’ll have to read the eBook to find out more, and what happens to him, the wives and his children!

      His Third Wife

      Over 150 years ago, in fact in 1862, Mary Elizabeth Braddon published a book called Lady Audley’s Secret which went on to become a best seller at that time, and over the years the book has been serialized and films have been made based on this book. The literary fashion in those days was accidental bigamy, and in the book the heroine deserts her child, pushes husband number one down a well, thinks about poisoning husband number two, and then sets fire to a hotel in which all her male acquaintances are residing.

      In my novel a man whose middle name is by coincidence Audley is happily married with three daughters, and in his travels he stays in various small quest houses. Over years he is seduced by daughters in each house, and when each becomes pregnant he marries each of them. The scandal does not become public until he loses his job, sues for unfair dismissal, and is awarded substantial damages, which results in wide publicity.

      CHAPTER ONE - College and Gwen

      Roger looked at his watch. It was nearly six. His stomach reminded him that he hadn’t eaten since mid-morning. He stopped writing and closed his books. It was already getting dark outside and he was beginning to feel even hungrier. He packed his books into his backpack and then stood up lifting the backpack to his left shoulder.

      Goodnight, Roger, called a friend who had also been working in the library. Ready for tomorrow? His friend grinned.

      Don’t remind me, replied Roger, aware that the first part of his final exams would start at nine in the morning.

      Roger had a long walk back to his digs – even buses were expensive and made holes in his eating money. Thank goodness it wasn’t raining and he started the long trek. He juggled the coins in his pocket as he walked and wondered what he could afford to eat that evening.

      His room in the house he had stayed in for the last two years was in the attic, and he climbed the stairs. Dropping his backpack onto the bed, he walked back down the stairs to the bathroom.

      Um, he thought as he looked in the dirty mirror that hung on the wall. Shaved this morning, he noted to himself and splashed his face with water. There was no hand towel so he just wiped his face with his bare wet hands and splashed the water in the direction of the decrepit old bath.

      He walked down to the front door and looked out into the street.

      All of the houses were small terrace homes, originally built for working families in the local mill, who now sublet rooms in order to survive. The present owners were a mixture of survivors of those mill workers, or the new immigrant families recently arrived from the West Indies, or the Eastern parts of Pakistan.

      Brave New World, he thought as he walked along the pavement. He could hear music with a loud beat from some houses, and he could see some windows papered up with old newspapers in others as they didn’t have curtains.

      Depressing? No, just the changing world, he thought.

      The coins in his pocket did not need to remind him that he was hungry, but then he had been a hungry student for the last three years. He’d had to stretch his student allowance between rent and food, but he smiled when he thought of the spaghetti he had promised himself that evening.

      The Coffee Bar, the Café, was at the end of the street. It catered for locals and students who lived in the area, and the owners were as generous as possible with their student diners.

      He went in and the owner working a coffee machine, waved at him. It was crowded. He saw what he thought was a vacant table and headed for it, but just as he got there two girls moved in and sat down.

      One of the girls looked at him and smiled. Sit here if you like, she offered.

      The owner’s daughter came to their table holding a menu card, but Roger waved it away as he knew it almost by heart.

      Spaghetti please, he said, smiling.

      Bolognaise? She asked, almost shouting as the Juke Box blared at them.

      No thanks, just butter and garlic. Roger said as he looked and grinned at the two ladies facing him at their table.

      Good evening, he said. My name’s Roger.

      My name’s Gwen, short for Gwendolyn, and this is Di, short for Diana, one of them replied with a lovely smile.

      What do you do? He asked.

      We work for a dressmaker, she said, and mentioned the dressmaker’s name but it wasn’t anyone Roger knew. We decided to stop for a coffee after work, she added, stirring the cup in front of her.

      Are you a student? Asked
