Summary
The Lampreys had plenty of charm, but no cash. They all knew they were peculiar and rather glorified in it. The double and triple charades, for instance, with which they would entertain their guests, like rich but awful Uncle Gabriel,… who was such a bore. They thought that if they jollied him up he could bail them out yet again but Uncle Gabriel died instead and Roderick Alleyn had to sort it all out. 1985.
