  Helen Ferguson : [voice over]  Summer nights are pleasant in Caulfield. They smell of heliotrope and jasmine, honeysuckle and clover. The breeze that stirs the curtains are soft and gentle. There's the hush... the stillness of perfect peace and security. Oh, yes, the summer nights are pleasant in Caulfield, but not for us. Not for us.
