Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier abridged and read in 12 parts by Delia Paton (1)
When Mary Yellan arrives at Jamaica Inn, she finds her Aunt Patience sadly changed. The laughing, pretty woman has become a terrified, timid mouse; her husband, the land-lord of the inn, is drunken and violent. Looking at them, Mary recalls the words of the coach-driver who brought her from Helston: 'Jamaica's got a bad name. Respectable folk don't go there any more!' (Music: Salzedo's The Witch Boy)
