Uncle Billy feels pressure to produce a surefire joke, and the 'Man in the Attic,' returns to Mitford as the town holds its breath to see what happens.

Though Father Tim doesn't like changes, he dislikes retirement even more. His wife wins awards, receives bouquets, gets invited to tour the country. What's he doing?
Well, after ignoring his diabetes and walk routine, he gets into trouble healthwise, and sinks into deep depression for a long while. Edith Mallory, the forever, wicked women is also causing Father Tim more trouble than he knows how to handle along with everything else!
