While his two children lie asleep upstairs, his wife is out cuckolding him with a Negro skin-diver, or so he thinks. Harold, in a skull-popping panic, half-dials phones, swigs champagne from a bottle, runs to the door with his scythe and roars out bloody maledictions on "the Goddamn spade frogman."
