Synopsis
A long weekend in early September. Gathered at the home of Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell are various guests, including Dr John Cristow, his mistress Veronica, his ex-mistress and his wife. Veronica ardently desires to marry Cristow but he refuses to divorce, and Veronica unwisely declares that if she can’t have him no one else will. Within five minutes he is dead.
