Four men have managed to retrieve the greater part of the million dollars conned from them by American millionaire Harvey Metcalfe. One of the four - Lord James Brigsley - has yet to come up with his plan to get back the remainder. His attention has been concentrated on persuading the beautiful Anne Summerton to marry him. Successful at last, he discovers to his horror that his future father-in-law is also his prospective victim.

1903: a small seaside town on the south coast of England. Joan, the bright young daughter of a retired Colonel, longs to escape from the restrictions of upper middle-class society. Her whole world is transformed by the arrival of a new tutor, Elizabeth, who encourages her to work towards university and a career in medicine. But, as the years go by, Joan is increasingly torn between her responsibility towards her ailing parents and her passionate desire for independence...
Earlier this year, four of Britain's leading humorists packed their bags for very different and far-Bung corners of the world which they were visiting for the first time.

'Did I tell you my name - was Pompey-Casmilus? Patience I was christened, but later on when I got grown up and out and about in London, I got called Pompey. And it suits me.'
It is 1935. Pompey works as a secretary for the splendid magazine publisher Sir Phoebus Ullwater, Bt, and scribbles down - on yellow office paper - her wonderful thoughts.
