Louisa's jealousy over Spiros remains unresolved, and in return he accuses her of taking advantage of the litany of men in the household. The family's latest houseguest is the obnoxious sporting and war-addled Colonel Ribbidane, who pays Leslie to set up a wild boar hunt. Problems emerge, however: the land selected contains no wild boar, Leslie is imposed upon by Daphne to become a babysitter at short notice and he is obliged to bring the infant along to the hunt, and he has to delude the Colonel into thinking there are wild boar present by enlisting a secreted Basil to simulate boar grunts and calls in return for him being taught how to woo Louisa, with whom he confesses to being in love. The hunt is brought to a climax when Gerry—the only family member not considering fleeing the nest—and Galini's efforts to stop it go awry.

Thomson, Ian (6 April 1998), "The man who thought he was too sexy for Britain", Evening Standard, London The Durrells of Corfu describes the family's upbringing in India and the crisis that brought them to England and then Greece. It recalls the genuine characters they encountered on Corfu - Theodore the biologist, the taxi driver Spiro Halikiopoulos and the prisoner Kosti - as well as the visit of American writer Henry Miller. And Haag has unearthed the story of how the Durrells left Corfu, including Margo's and Larry's last-minute escapes before the War. An extended epilogue looks at the emergence of Larry as a world famous novelist, and Gerry as a naturalist and champion of endangered species, as well as the lives of the rest of the family, their friends and other animals. His call-up for the war came in 1943, but he was exempted from military duty on medical grounds, and asked to serve the war effort by working on a farm. After the war, Durrell joined Whipsnade Zoo as a junior or student keeper. This move fulfilled a lifelong dream: Durrell claims in The Stationary Ark that the first word that he could enunciate with any clarity was "zoo". Beasts in My Belfry recalls events of this period.
