Before starting work, Rumpole fortifies himself with a full English breakfast at the Tastee Bite, a place of Formica-topped tables, fried food and steaming tea urns. His young pupil Phillida Trant chose this venue to confide that she was pregnant, and Hilda's friend Dodo once popped in just as Rumpole was demonstrating manual strangulation on another lady pupil, Liz Probert.
