Episode 116

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

Freddie: So how do you feel about Mum taking off with Russ ?

Lily:  Embarrassed, mostly, there is a bit of an age gap.

Freddie:  He does seem to be a man who likes an age gap although this time he’s the toy boy.  But I thought you were in love with him ?

Lily:  I’m more in love with Lower Loxsley and our life here.  Dad would be devastated if he knew what Mum was planning to do.

Freddie:  You’re right - we need to find a way to stop this happening.  We must have some legal rights, surely ?

Lily:  We need to speak to Usha and get some advice on inheritance law.  I can’t believe Dad didn’t mean us to inherit Lower Loxsley - he always talked about keeping it in the family for future generations of Pargetters.

Freddie:  To be honest, Lily, something stinks about this and it’s not just Russ.  I think we need to have it out with Mum now.

Lily: You mean out here in the garden ?

Freddie:  No, let’s go up to the roof.  We can see the whole estate from there.
