• The village is queueing for what must be the most anticipated edition of the Echo in years – Nelson’s obituary. Siobhán is interested as, while she didn’t know him, she’s living in his house. She’s also after a bit of an inside track from Sid into the quiz, she’s a Johnny-come-lately so thinks that she needs a little bit of a hand with the local elements of the quiz …

Rather forcefully, he reminders Jennifer that he expects her to support him to the hilt.
