The pompous and self-important Abbot returns from his heroics in
the Chennai Bermuda Bowl to discover that his fellow monks have
taken little interest in this adventure. It is no easy matter for
him to once again endure the aggravating ups and downs, familiar to
us all, of life as a bridge player. The Abbot plays matches and
duplicate sessions against a range of colourful opponents. How can
it be that a battle-hardened veteran of the Bermuda Bowl cannot
always sweep such moderate opposition aside? Claude Yorke-Smith,
his overbearing brother from Devon pays the monastery a visit. The
Abbot spends a week in the Convent of Hilda's and is shocked by the
severe attitude of the Mother of Discipline. In the final part of
the book, the Abbot is visited by his partner from Chennai, the
Parrot. How will the bridge players of Hampshire react to such a
feathered and outspoken opponent? Other Abbot titles by David Bird:
