When Stiffy demands Bertie returns to Totleigh, he reluctantly obeys. Her latest little task for him turns out to be as precarious as ever. A small statuette purchased by Sir Watkyn is reputed to be cursed, and she's desperate to be rid of the thing. Gussie, meanwhile, has become repulsed by Madeline after she demands he turn vegan - and we all know who's next in line for her hand!

Further details
