In the library Geoff Torville needs glasses. He gets some temporary frames, much to the scorn of Sue McCardle. Their passion is obscured and nearly destroyed.

Further details

Bill is dreading playing host to Bob, Sheila's right-wing brother who emigrated to Canada twenty years ago. She refuses to listen to Bill's protests until they discover that it's a make-or-break holiday for Bob and his Canadian wife, Muffin who has just discovered Bob's been playing away. Bob must suffer the consequences; so too must Bill and Sheila, as long as their guests stay!
