He meets Ellen Thomas, a reclusive artist, young Johnny Spence, an absconding school boy, and the tough-minded Paula who works at the local pub. As he involves know his neighbours better, Mr Golightly starts to examine his attitude to love, also to ponder the terrible catastrophe of his son's death.
