...Gallery, a copy-kitten rip-off of Playboy. He even made plans to play himself in a movie, The Sam Sheppard Story. Suddenly, things began to sour. The movie never got off the ground, the TV show was canceled and he left Gallery. His helicopter company was slow to lift off (it only recently began to make money), and an airport he bought near his home was on its way to losing $200,000. Most serious, he was charged with fraud in two of his outside enterprises. One case was soon dropped, but the other charge nearly dropped Bailey...

She gets into the elevator with the stranger. The camera cuts to a scene inside the ascending lift, where two people are beginning to make love in the flickering half-light. The wife's eyes are closed, her neck arched back. We cannot...
...deal with the inconstancy of the outside world, a shelter from her own intensity. When she died, he decided to edit her memoirs; and sometimes, Darroch says, Philip would go upstairs "where Ottoline's clothes still hung, her unique scent clinging to them, and he would gently lift the silks and velvets in an attempt to get in touch with her again...
