Abstract.

We prove that for every simple theory T (or even simple thick compact abstract theory) there is a (unique) compact abstract theory whose saturated models are the lovely pairs of T. Independence-theoretic results that were proved in [5] when is a first order theory are proved for the general case: in particular is simple and we characterise independence.
