You can find a Jonty and Orlando Christmas Special here: My True Love Sent to Me.
The spirit of romance is ailing in the Coppersmith Stewart household. A snippet:-
“Everyone seems to be receiving little love tokens at the moment,” Jonty went on. “Miss Peters is getting a non-stop supply of chocolates from some chap down at St. Thomas's, who has declared undying love for her. She takes them down to the orphanage and watches the little tykes eat them, so they reach the intended recipients. Are you listening?”
“Yes. Chocolates. Thomas's. Tykes.” Orlando never looked up.
“Time was when you used to bring me little doo-dads. Mint Lumps. Champagne...” Jonty's voice trailed off, a sign he hoped his lover would pick up that all was not well.
But Orlando was preoccupied as usual. “Hm? I believe I may have done. Yes.”
“Oh to hell with it. Believe you may have done? Perhaps it was another lover then, Orlando, who sent me those trifles, and I've got the two of you confused.”
