23 June 1998

Characters: Alistair, Jennifer, Kate, Lizzie, Morwenna, Richard, Usha

• Morwenna’s installed in the cottage and Kate, at least, is happy she’s there. Jennifer’s less sure – both about her infusions and potions and about the amount of the family history that Kate has told her. Morwenna, a grandmother herself, tries to use that to get Jennifer to relate to her, but she remains sceptical, asking Richard later to investigate some of the concoctions Kate’s being given.
• Usha and Richard are trying harder to be involved in each other’s lives again, although their cinema plans are thwarted by Usha’s arranging to meet Sammy to discuss Brian’s offer with him.
• Lizzie asks Richard to ask his Sealed Knot connections about borrowing cannons for their summer spectacular.
• Alistair and Richard are at nets and Alistair’s digging for information about Shula and Richard does his best to say that he agrees that returning to normality is what Shula needs right now.
