Toggle - it's the nickname of eight-year-old Torquil - was adopted in the hope that he would stabilise the marriage of Nigel and Val. But the hope is unfulfilled: Val still runs off with other men. So Toggle becomes the problem of Nigel's sister Celia and brother-in-law Rory. And since their own children have grown up and gone out into the world, Rory is less than delighted to find the calm of his beautiful home disturbed.
