Awarded the Whitbread Prize, 1977 Edward is throwing a dinner party with Binny, his mistress. Aware that she has long been denied those small intimacies that his wife takes for granted -- choosing a birthday present for his sister, for example, or sorting his socks -- he wants to give her a chance to feel more involved in his life, to socialise with some of his friends (the discreet ones). Things are a little awkward to begin with -- a late start and him having to be away by half past ten -- but everything seems to be going well. Then some uninvited and rather forceful guests arrive, and it doesn"t look like Edward is going to make it home on time ...
