Six months into their new venture running a boarding house, James Twelvetrees had to come to the unhappy conclusion that the business was on its knees; of the Nine bedrooms, a total of only two or three had been slept in during that time and money had just about run out. Whilst Ivy Teasdale, his business partner happily went about her side of keeping the house clean and tidy, James had trawled through the accounts and could see that all their money had gone and if the local bank didn't feel inclined to lend them £50 to tide them over until, things picked up over the summer season then they would have to pack up and go their separate ways. Will the bank lend the money or will something turn up...? And another thing....an unexpected visitor arrives....
