03 - The Old Chapel at Gwair

The plan, in so far as there is a plan, is for Malvolio Claxendell to turn his new acquisition into a bookshop, and persuade Samuel Quinine and his entourage  (primarily grandson Kolya, the infant genius) to move to Gwair-on-Wye and manage it. When Samuel hears of the plan he is understandably perturbed. He is reluctant to leave his current bookshop in Hove (Yifitsin Print Books) which he owns, for a manager's post two hundred miles away. Anyway, he is proud of his shop. However the small matter of the huge overdraft he is about to default on, is playing on his mind. He decides to consult his lodger, Leporello Swinson.
