...third of Scott's mild and curious heroines, a sort of professional consoler to be found at the bedsides of the series' variously suffering characters, Geraldine James is unremittingly sensible.

Western Europe also has its share of potential disasters. That lesson was made clear eight years ago, when a chemical reaction at a plant in Seveso, outside Milan, Italy, set off a mild explosion, discharging a cloud of between 1 lb. and 22 lbs. of poisonous dioxin into the atmosphere.

His two grandsons make an ordinary nuisance of themselves. His granddaughter, the lovely Mireille (Katia Wostrikoff), watches today's dinner...
