At the bottom of a sharply descending street - in the topographical
sense - in Edinburgh's Georgian New Town, new residents have moved
in to number 44 Scotland Street, joining the already well-known and
much-loved denizens of that remarkable building. They appear to be
a bit of a mystery, but so, too, do other things. What exactly did
Sister Maria-Fiore, the aphorism-coining socialite nun, find on the
No. 23 bus? Could it be the remains of a hitherto unknown
Neanderthal, homo Watsoniensis? On the romantic front,
long-suffering Stuart's hopes of kindling a new relationship are
dashed, thanks to chino-wearing narcissist Bruce, effortlessly
exercising his powers of charm. The Promised Land beckons for
Bertie who is off to Glasgow for a school exchange that takes him
doon the watter. Back in Edinburgh, the Duke of Johannesburg's
desire to learn a new language, involving his Gaelic-speaking
driver Padruig, has gone horribly wrong; to be immersed in a
language, it seems, can be a captivating linguistic mistake. And
the patrons of Big Lou's cafe are in for a gastronomic treat. In
other words, everything in Edinburgh is absolutely normal.
