    Summary

    The thing was, Biggles really liked Wilks. He did. He thought of jokes no one else would, and always said them out loud. He cheated at cards in a very predictable way; he was proud, relentlessly so; and he always seemed to know exactly what Biggles was thinking and how to make him think something completely different. They fought, most of the time, about anything and everything they could think of – but somehow, Biggles realised, as he tipped the remaining slug of whisky into his mouth and swallowed, they had become firm friends.

    Which made this all the more awkward.

    Summary

    “Sleep well, laddie,” he said. His crow’s feet deepened as he smiled. “We’ve a long day tomorrow.”

    “No rest for the wicked,” replied Roger. It came out with more of a sting than he usually allowed himself.

    Summary

    "I've got us a table at last," announced Algy triumphantly as he hung up the phone. "They've had a cancellation on Thursday at seven. That suit you? Apparently it's a set menu, goodness knows why, but I didn't think you'd mind."

    After promising Ginger dinner at the Ritz as a Christmas present, Algy unfortunately doesn't think to check the date, or the menu, before booking a table.
