Maybe this is a chance for Widderbeth to turn out not to be Cured after all, as Hugh’s departure and the strain of finding another humourless and talentless megalomaniac to aim out fodder to the sheeplike fools patronising the Orangery sends her into a steep decline. Possibly the one in the ha-ha.

Agent Freddy promises to be pretty tedious stuff. And why so keen to lick Ian’s cheffing clogs at the first (half) kind word? I am Disappointed In Him.

He had a life-changing experience when he was inside? Let’s face it, more plausible than many things that have happened recently.
