But the relative peace and tranquility of 44 Scotland Street is about to be disrupted. Outspoken Irene is returning home for a two-month stay, with plans to send young Bertie to a sleep-away camp—a most unappealing proposition.

And what of Bruce Anderson who, after a lightning strike, has developed an unfamiliar personality and outlook? His newfound perspective will be put to the test as he prepares to abandon all creature comforts for a life of monastic simplicity. His house sitter, Borthy Borthwick, meanwhile, gets a little too comfortable in his new surroundings and discovers that his talented patron’s shoes are all too easy to slip into.
