Louise is the property editor's wife?! Who is kicking NR?

Following Cecilia all the way to The French, building up the courage to approach her, nipping out to buy her flowers and then, on Nigel's return, she's already left.

Extraordinary tale of Josh and Bacon. Bacon saying he'll help the beaten and bloodied Josh before getting distracted by a wounded fog carcass he wants to paint as they wander the London streets.
