A collection of four uniquely wonderful long stories, including a st&-alone sequel to the No. 1 bestseller The Outsider.
Laurence is a young ex-sailor who can't resist the lure of the good life, & when he finds a job as chauffeur to the wealthy Mr & Mrs Bannister, his occasional work leaves him free to indulge. Bannister himself is bitter
- his twisted leg keeps him on the sidelines while his ravishingly beautiful wife endures his moods with saintly patience.
