Marriage Lines

Whilst George, Kate and their neighbours are exasperated by Helen's continual crying, the Starlings must also face a brewing family dispute over christening arrangements.

There are now three Starlings, and George and Kate have a host of new problems to solve - not least of which is the job of dissuading their six-month-old daughter Helen from using her vocal chords at full volume all the time. In fact, Helen is quite a headache to the Starlings.

The trouble is that like many babies she likes drama: nothing pleases her better than a really good attention-catching cry. But the walls of George and Kate's flat have very large ears ... and the inevitable complaints create serious accommodation difficulties for the young and now even more impecunious parents.
