"Verity": Much has changed since Verity and her beloved Stella died...

"In a Dark House": Couples coalesce in happiness, while the lone ones are cast adrift... Feste is glad to see the back of Sir Andrew, is tempted to follow Antonio, a man of his own nature – but surprises even himself when instead he starts to search for the vengeful Malvolio.

"Magic Casements": Oscar Wilde is touring North America lecturing on aesthetics – so why wouldn't the Poet of Beauty and Truth be much on his mind?

"Chooser of the Slain": Lily has a mission, which has been harshly and unjustly characterised.

"Misplaced": Sam is an engineer indulging her dreams of archaeology... What buried treasure does she discover while Reading Train Station is being redeveloped?

"We Live Without a Future": With their home in London destroyed in the Blitz, Leonard and Virginia Woolf find what peace they can in a village near the Sussex coast. But with German and British planes grinding overhead, and the looming threat of a Nazi invasion, there is never enough peace to be had. There is never enough.
