But she finds out about a painting - a valuable work by 19th century painter Joshua Blythe - Del has on the wall in the lounge, Miranda soon worms her way into his affections and gets the painting as a birthday gift.
Thinking that he's in love, Del heads to Miranda's shop, and is informed that she's gone to the local auction house.
