Sir Basil Turton, the new heir to the newspaper and magazine empire, was about forty when a dazzling creature named Natalia took Sir Basil to the registry, where the wedding took place. Six years later, guests gathered in their house to play cards, where the charming hostess was at the table. However, the next day the unexpected happened in the garden - Natalia stuck her head into the slot of an expensive sculpture by Henry Moore and could not get it out. Basil sent the butler for an axe.
