Gyles and Richard have a connection - Richard is a friend of Gyles's son, Benet, and they talk about their first meeting back when Richard was a teenager. They talk about Richard's childhood, his parents, his schooldays and how he met his wife, Lydia, at Cambridge, via a detour in which Gyles explains how he developed a teenaged infatuation with Joan of Arc.
