4. Sleepless Nights

Aylmer is tormented by the thought that Edith is involved with Vincy. With Juliet Aubrey and Sam Alexander.

Witty portrait of love and jealousy set in High Society Edwardian London. Martyn Wade is a skilled and talented radio writer and dramatist. He has a sure and dry comic touch which is ideal for continuing the stories created by Ada Leverson, who was a contemporary and friend of Oscar Wilde.

The Ottley's Sloane Street residence is still out of bounds to Aylmer. As a result, he suspects the worst.

Meanwhile, Bruce tries to keep his association with Miss Flummerfelt a secret.

Their mutual friend Vincy Wenham Vincy struggles to keep everyone in the dark.
