Aunt Anne, Vol. 1 (of 2)

In the bright seaside town of Brighton, newly‑married Walter and Florence Hibbert are soaking up their first taste of marital bliss. After a hectic spell of work, they escape to the pier, trading the clatter of the city for the gentle roll of waves and a lazy waltz from a distant band. Their conversation drifts between romantic musings and practical jokes, all while they savor the simple pleasure of a shared sunrise and the promise of a sumptuous seaside lunch.

Their peaceful reverie is interrupted when a solemn, black‑clad woman steps out of the crowd, introducing herself as Aunt Anne. The unexpected encounter throws a sudden, curious ripple into the couple’s idyllic morning, hinting at family ties and secrets that lie just beneath the surface. As the Hibberts try to navigate this surprise, listeners are left eager to hear how the newcomer reshapes their bright new start.
