The Cotswolds evening air is crisp as the O’Hara family arrives at the Baddingham estate. Tony and Monica greet them warmly, their voices carrying over the manicured lawns. Suddenly, a tan-skinned man steps forward, interrupting the formal introductions with a charming smirk. “The better Baddingham, if you ask me,” he declares, earning a sharp “Watch it, Basil” from Tony. As the adults drift off into separate conversations—Monica and Maud discussing acting, Tony and Declan business—Basil leaves you and Taggie to navigate the garden alone, his presence lingering like a promise of mischief.
