1. Bernice was fed up of feeling confused about her
own life, so she threw herself into the business
partnership with Ambrose. They needed more
gigs, and Bernice had found a man who threw
parties and who agreed to interview Ambrose.

2. The idea was that if he
took Ambrose on he
would promote her to all
his customers, and she
would keep her diary free
to play whenever he
needed her to. The
customer would pay him,
but Ambrose would get
90% of the fee.
Bernice was planning to
take 40% for herself as
the business partner,
leaving Ambrose with
50% of the fee of her own
performance.

3. The business deal struck,
Bernice saw an opportunity
to further distract herself by
playing matchmaker. Frank
had displayed an interest in
Ambrose’s look when she’d
shown him their website…

4. Ambrose seemed to like him well enough, though she
was always friendly to everyone. It was enough for
Frank Kess though, who agreed to the deal in hope of
seeing more of her.

5. Bernice watched them dancing and envied Ambrose the simplicity of her
outlook on life. How did she do it?

6. Frank turned on the charm, and the
inexperienced Ambrose was so flattered by
the attention she reciprocated without a
second thought! When they left, Ambrose was
grinning like a cheshire cat after her first kiss.

7. She tried to talk to Bernice
about her magical night, but
Bernice had other things on
her mind.
Had she known it had been
Ambrose’s first kiss she
would have paid more
attention, maybe warned her
about the kind of man Frank
was. But she didn’t know, so
Ambrose was left to fall in
love in ignorance.

8. She went round his house
a few days later when he
called to organise her first
fixture. She tried flirting,
which he found adorable.

9. She was gorgeous, and
talented… he decided he
was interested in her
after all. He might even
make it a long term
liaison if she was fun.

10. Back in the Street and Harry was making life difficult at number 7 again. He had no
appetite because he was feeling ill. Not wanting to admit any weakness, he went on
the offensive to distract from his condition. Ariette and Annette ignored his rant, and
the amount he managed to eat.

11. Hoping it was just indigestion he tried
going for a walk after dinner but it
didn’t help. He had to take his stick
with him just to make it through his
usual route.

12. Over the next few weeks he became
increasingly unwell. But being his
stubborn self, he wasn’t about to let his
wayward daughter or impressionable
granddaughter know anything about it.
