Agatha his mother lopped five years from her true age and his when she married the amiable Posket.The imminent arrival of Cis' godfather sends Agatha incognito to the Htel des Princes to warn him of her deception. But it's also where her son has cajoled his otherwise staid stepfather into joining him for a binge.
