Book Description
'Mr. Prohack' is a novel by Arnold Bennett, best remembered today for his novels 'Anna of the Five Towns', 'The Old Wives' Tale', and 'Clayhanger'. 'Mr. Prohack' is a book about a man who bears the same name as the title of this novel—Mr. Arthur Prohack. He is a government official who received a windfall that elevated his family's position from middle class to upper. Of course, more money does not always mean less problems—and in Mr. Prohack's case, in particular, an avalanche of problems awaits.

Book Description
This is a humorous story of a civil servant struggling with financial pressures post-World War I when he unexpectedly inherits £100 000 from someone to whom he did a good turn. This fortune affects him and his family (wife Eve, son Charlie, daughter Sissie) in different ways. He tries various tactics to handle the novelty: spending, scrupulously planned idleness, even visits to Turkish Baths. His son tries speculation, his daughter a dance school, his wife becoming a society hostess. The story reveals how Mr Prohack grapples with the reality of the power of riches without losing his integrity and sense of self.

Book Description
"Ah! So I've caught you!" said his wife, coming brightly into the room. She was a buxom woman offorty-three. Her black hair was elaborately done for the day, but she wore a roomy peignoir insteadof a frock; it was Chinese, in the Imperial yellow, inconceivably embroidered with flora, fauna, andgrotesques. She always thus visited her husband at breakfast, picking bits off his plate like a bird, andproving to him that her chief preoccupation was ever his well-being and the satisfaction of hiscapricious tastes."Many years ago," said Mr. Prohack."You make a fuss about buying The Daily Picture for me. You say it humiliates you to see it in thehouse, and I don't know what. But I catch you reading it yourself, and before you've opened TheTimes! Dear, dear! That bacon's a cinder and I daren't say anything to her.""Lady," replied Mr. Prohack, "we all have something base in our natures. Sin springs fromopportunity. I cannot resist the damned paper." And he stuck his fork into the fair frock-coat of afatuous bridegroom coming out of church."My fault again!" the wife remarked brightly.The husband changed the subject: "I suppose that your son and daughter are still asleep?""Well, dearest, you know that they were both at that dance last night.""They ought not to have been. The popular idea that life is a shimmy is a dangerous illusion." Mr.Prohack felt the epigram to be third-rate, but he carried it off lightly."Sissie only went because Charlie wanted to go, and all I can say is that it's a nice thing if Charlieisn't to be allowed to enjoy himself now the war's over-after all he's been through.""You're mixing up two quite different things. I bet that if Charlie committed murder you'd go intothe witness-box and tell the judge he'd been wounded twice and won the Military Cross.
