6 — ' The Bow Street Runners '
Production by James Crampsey
St. Ives is now very much a hunted man. His lawyer friend Romaine urges him to take refuge in France, but he insists on returning to Edinburgh to his sweetheart Flora Gilchrist. To make better speed, and to reduce the chances of encountering enemies, he buys a magnificent post-chaise and heads north with his young attendant Rowley.
He draws attention to himself, however, by his intervention in the pursuit of an eloping couple making for Gretna Green, and on arrival at Kirkby Lonsdale is once more threatened with exposure.
