Plot Summary

When Gerald Carmody is left at a seaside old-folks' hotel while his family goes skiing, he feels very grumpy and abandoned and is determined to have a rotten time. But things turn around when he meets the charming Katherine Palmer. But she's hiding something from Gerald, and their December romance may have to end sooner than either one wishes.

Quotes Arthur Carmody: Ah, now that is handy; a little sewing kit, and something to polish your shoes with. Look!
Gerald Carmody: Oh, wonderful. I can't wait to sit in the bath, sewing my socks, shining my shoes and wearing my shower cap.
Arthur Carmody: Dad, we really want you to enjoy this. We couldn't leave you alone, not after what happened.
Gerald Carmody: It was an isolated incident.
Arthur Carmody: Yes, well, there's no point in going over old ground.
Gerald Carmody: Absolutely. Well, I'll see you in two weeks then. Don't be surprised if I'm still sitting here.
Arthur Carmody: Then you'd be a damned fool. Places like this are bloody nice.
Gerald Carmody: Places like this are the equivalent of a kennel. When you go on holiday, pets go into kennels and elderly relatives go into places like this.
Arthur Carmody: You could have a very pleasant two weeks here if you weren't so determined to be miserable.
Gerald Carmody: I do not enjoy being surrounded by old people.
Miss Glaistow: [there is a knock on the door which opens] Mr. Camody, I'm Miss Glaistow, resident physiotherapist and general dogsbody. And I always make it a point of greeting our guests and explaining the room.
Gerald Carmody: Oh, really? Have your guests so little experience of rooms? What is their natural habitat? The Serengeti? The Arctic tundra?
Arthur Carmody: My father's a little unhappy at being dumped. At least that's how he sees it.
Gerald Carmody: That's exactly how it is, Arthur. I don't mind accepting that fact but I do object to your dressing it up as a little treat for the old man.
