Before you settle in
Bartholomew has chosen his chair at the Copper Dormouse. His sister Dorothea has an inn to look after, supper to see to, and a way of making her brother feel both welcome and thoroughly known.
As the rain continues, a small paper theatre gives them something to do together. Painted scenery, familiar objects and their long history as brother and sister fill an evening that has no need to hurry.
