Servants
A play for radio by DONALD CAMPBELL
1 Oh yes, the servants! Three honest, capable girls, dutiful and obedient to a fault. All from the same small place somewhere up North - I can never recall exactly where - trained to serve, to know their place. They had their place and I had mine. We didn't see anything wrong in that. didwe,mydear?'
In their fine Edinburgh house, Sylvia and Henry Wishart lead a life of ordered comfort, with a cook, a nanny and a housemaid. But it is
1936, and a war in Spain can upset many things, even as far away as Edinburgh.
