Her husband Rodney, a handsome army major, is slightly balder and fatter than he once was. Wilmet Forsyth is well dressed, well looked after, suitably husbanded, good looking and fairly young - but very bored. Her interest wanders to the nearby Anglo-catholic church, where at last she can neglect her cofortable household in the more serious-minded company of three unmarried priests, and, of course, Piers Longridge, a man of an unfathomably different character altogether. Wilmet would like to think she has changed rather less. 2009
