The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling. But if Charlie wants to be with Fran, he must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. Then Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope.

At home he is looking after his father, when surely it should be the other way round, and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread.
