Just when everything seems to be going wrong, a wish comes true for Tim.

Could church bells be ringing for Tim and his piano teacher, Miss Clanger?

Timothy accidentally witnesses an extra-marital affair involving a local businessman, who offers him a large sum of money and a book contract in return for his discretion.

Timothy is the prompter for the local amateur dramatic society's production of ""Hamlet,"" as well as having his eye on the actress playing Ophelia.

Shy, retiring Tim sets out to prove he's still as lively as a kitten.

Tim gets involved with Fenella, who lives on a narrow boat and runs a children's theatre. Will he become one of her puppets?
