Other Names

One man - with the charm of the devil. Two women who find him irresistible: Heather, hapless and penniless, and Marjorie, well-heeled, well-fed and totally respectable. From the moment Boniface Bennett flings himself on Marjorie's spare bed and snores his way through her Christmas party, she has tender feelings towards him. So much so that she allows herself to be persuaded by him to become a 'name' at Lloyds of London, in the hope of adding to (but also risking) her inheritance. Heather, on the other hand, has no money and little education. She falls in love with Boniface because she cannot help herself. Through their elusive lover, Heather and Marjorie are brought to desperate measures. Until one summer afternoon, Heather is hijacked by Marjorie and compelled to tell her story, complete, in full, no holds barred. This is it.
