Poor put-upon Bertie is still struggling to escape his
overbearing mother?s influence, his yoga lessons and his pink
bedroom while wondering why new baby brother Ulysses looks
uncomfortably like his psychotherapist. The insufferably handsome
Bruce has returned from London to land, on his feet and rent-free,
in the arms of heiress Julia Donald. But all is not well among the
residents of 44 Scotland Street: Angus?s dog and constant companion
Cyril is under threat of execution, victim of a miscarriage of
justice, while pretty, indecisive Pat and hopeless romantic Matthew
are on the verge of making the most terrible mistake of their lives
...Big Lou finds a new man, Matthew and Pat edge their relationship
towards something more permanent - although this development is not
without complications, when a glimpse of someone who just might be
her handsome, caddish ex-flatmate Bruce sets Pat''s pulse racing -
and Domenica''s friendship with Antonia is tested to the limit when
an assortment of her belongings mysteriously appear in Antonia''s
new flat.
