Introduced by Jenni Murray.
Serial: The Reluctant Samaritan: Tales of Old Age by Winifred Beechey.
'As in Miss Austen's day it was universally accepted that a young unmarried man with a house and a fortune was in need of a wife, so Mrs Girdlestone might have been beguiled into accepting a somewhat similar assumption with me; that one elderly lady living alone is in need of an even more elderly lady to live with her.'
The first of five episodes read by Pauline Letts. Abridged by Janet Hickson Music:
Bozzas Fantaisie pastorale Editor Sally Feldman
