African lady (Mma Ramotswe) who runs a detective agency. She has been proposed
to by a man she met at a dancing class, she is not very fond of him as he can’t
dance and he can’t speak properly as he has a stutter, despite all this though
she accepts the offer. She also comes across a man whilst driving in her
beloved white van. She sadly runs him over and feels obliged to help. She finds
out he is very poor and is struggling to support his large family, Mma Ramotswe
feels bad and offers him a job at her husband’s garage. Then the worst thing
imaginable turns up at Mma Ramotswe’s door, literally.
