Last week Barclays bid to stay on top by arranging a get-together of its own-the biggest in the history of British banking...
...with a shotgun at the red fox who regularly raids the chicken yard. Into this twitchy domesticity comes Paul (Keir Dullea), a merchant seaman on leave who has arrived to visit his grandfather, the deceased owner of the farm. A take-over type, he quickly gets himself invited to stay, while Jill giggles flirtatiously and March watches, wary and aloof. But it is March he wants-to her grateful astonishment and Jill's bitter chagrin...
