520			_a"A Likely Story" by William De Morgan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a married couple, Reginald and Euphemia Aiken, who appear to be constantly bickering, reflecting on the complexities of domestic life and relationships. The narrative also includes the character of Sairah, their maid, who unintentionally creates tension after mishandling a valuable painting, setting off a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings. The opening of the novel sets up a humorous situation with the Aikens in their Chelsea studio, navigating the challenges of a cold, foggy day while arguing about household matters. Reginald struggles with lighting gas in their studio as Sairah, the maid, becomes frustrated with his demands. Their domestic squabbles shed light on deeper themes of marital discontent and societal expectations, ultimately leading to a crisis when the painting Reginald is restoring is damaged. This humorous yet poignant portrayal of their lives hints at further complications in their relationship and the dynamics between them and Sairah, setting the stage for the unfolding drama.
