The Round Dozen

William Helder, the head of a 300 year old family firm, lives in London in spacious and comfortable apartment above his office, with a magnificent view of the busy River Thames flowing below his windows. His well-off and well-ordered life brings him comfort and satisfaction, while part of his active leisure time provides exercise and variety, and opportunities to indulge in a hobby of his, as he follows clues in his search for a certain silver flagon, an heirloom of his family. A collection of twelve silver flagons had been presented to an ancestor, two centuries ago, by King William and Queen Mary - but through the years some of them had gone missing. All - except one - had by now been recovered. William's search for the missing flagon leads him along many interesting paths, during which he meets a girl who joins him in the chase, and as they progress together he discovers that the silver flagon is not the only prize he is striving for.
