Synopsis[]
A burglar breaks into the Thorntons' house while they are out for the evening. Vernon introduces Babs to Blaketon, Jenny and David. The police talk to Lennie about the burglaries.
Full Summary[]
Mr. and Mrs. Thornton have been burgled. Their house is for sale and there was a similar break-in earlier in the same week. Sergeant Merton thinks that the burglar poses as a potential buyer and breaks in later. PC Crane has been absent minded for a couple of days. He is expecting a visit from a woman. She is somewhat older than him and soon the village is booming with gossip. No blame on the villagers though. She failed to mention that she is his mother. A new guest, Lennie Beech, at the Aidensfield Arms flirts with Gina, but Oscar Blaketon does not trust him.
