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