Annie is about to start her last year at boarding school in
Abingdon when Uncle George, whom she barely remembers, shows up out
of the blue. He is drunk and starts off on an elaborate
confabulation about an event he has been witness to on Abingdon
Bridge. His appearance in Annie's life will turn her life upside
down and provide her with a seemingly endless source of
entertainment. He has returned to his old stomping ground after a
mysterious spell 'abroad'. He evidently has an intimate knowledge
of all aspects of the town's life, its history and local characters
and, above all, a thorough knowledge of the town's pubs. Annie,
embarrassed by his behaviour in front of others, keeps her meetings
with him secret. Uncle George is chronically incapable of sticking
to the truth, but one of the few definite things one learns about
his past is that his connection to Annie's family is more
complicated than she suspected. But who exactly is this
disreputable, loveable, but ultimately pathetic character...?
