Agent Nora and the Bertil Mystery

Half of me wants to go to Tuscany and tie up your husband while we do some very naughty things, Julia, while another half wonders if it wouldn't be more appropriate if I untied your husband and let him join in. This is exactly the kind of natural reaction every man (and woman) will be having in relation to this tale of yours! to this tale! Yes, quite to be expected, of course, when a tale's as marvellous as this. (Ol' Anon is fuming btw!).
