When philandering Sir Giles Lynchwood decides it's time to wriggle free
of his monumentally unattractive wife, Lady Maud, he knows divorce is
out of the question. He can't leave her and keep her cash; a
reversionary clause on her ancestral home, Handyman Hall, has taken care
of that. Lady Maud, for her own special reasons, is also dying to see
the back of Sir Giles. Sir Giles dreams of motorways ploughing through
the front door of Handyman Hall, of compulsory purchase orders, of loot
and no wife. Lady Maud bellows. Blott the gardener watches from his
inner sanctum, the greenhouse, and listens...and waits.
