Isobel Tulloch likes to jiggle her ring finger. Well if that isn't a green light for Johnny, what is? As a child she saw the scuttling of the German Fleet. As a child she saw the scuttling of the German Fleet at Scapa Flow. Their sailors shot in cold blood. Happened 20 years ago but these things you never forget. A looker is our Isobel.
