A West Country Play in One Act by Charles Lee.
Played by the Station Radio Players

Scene: The kitchen of a cottage on a moorland road in the West Country
Catherine and Caroline Stevens are two maiden ladies of forty or thereabouts. Caroline is gentle and soft, Catherine vivacious and active. They live alone in their paradise of a little West Country cottage, but a bachelor, unaware that he is cast for the role of serpent, comes on the scene as tenant of the cottage next door. This cottage is owned by the ladies, and they cook for him, mend his socks and pass the time of day until the inevitable gossip starts. Mr. Sampson expresses his own difficulty in this situation by wishing he'd been born a heathen Turk.
