They are dedicated to maintaining the "Art of Conversation" which seems to be fading in this fast-moving world of high-tech communication.The happy times at the pub are in jeopardy when the Department of Immigration limits Elizabeth's stay in Britain. Can either of the confirmed bachelors, Teddy or Will, make the supreme sacrifice to marry Elizabeth to keep her in Wales?
