The second book in the series sees Shamus and Maria go on holiday to France. Along the way even more new friends are made. Silver Turner-Broom falls for a Cairns Terrier by the name of Bobby McTavish, his companion Lindy Antionette Blondeau falls for Harold Turner-Broom. This will lead nicely into book 3, that we will leave for now. Paris is a place of exquisite beauty, here Shamus visits the Palace of Versailles, several doors are locked, the ever-inquisitive Shamus gets on Maria's nerves asking all sorts of questions. It is not long after that all of them meet up once more and head to Chateau Gontier, this is Lindy's home. All have a wonderful time together before Harold, Silver, Maria and Shamus head home. Not before though, when Lindy surprises them at Calais, before heading to Paris herself, but what for?
