Howard tries his hand at writing a novel. But his efforts - in which the main character is called 'Mark Tempest' - are derided by Trevor and laughed at by Mary ( who thought it was intended to be funny ).
Mary finds a poem by Byron copied from a book, and thinks Howard himself wrote it. The bounder heads over to Laura's house to see if she will fall for his new persona as a sensitive poet...
Mildly amusing third episode, not as good as the second but better than the first. I would have liked to have heard more about Howard's literary masterpiece. We do not even find out what it is called.
When the scam fails, Howard then masquerades as pulp thriller novelist 'Quincey Brown' author of 'The Corpse That Would Not Lie Down'. The lie backfires when Trevor tells Laura that not only did Quincey die in 1973, but was also a woman!
Funniest moment - Howard withdrawing his proposal of marriage to Laura in wonderfully melodramatic fashion.
