BBC Radio 4 - Book at Bedtime, Virginia Woolf - Flush, Episode 3

Spaniel Flush is the victim of a horrible crime.

When spaniel Flush is the victim of a horrible crime, Miss Barrett takes matter into her own hands. Read by Jenny Coverack.

3/5 Virginia Woolf's biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's devoted spaniel, Flush, is read by Jenny Coverack. Miss Browning's constant companion Flush has been stolen by a gang of dog snatchers who hold their canine victims to ransom - and exact a fearful retribution if the price is not paid. Flush finds himself imprisoned in dreadful conditions in Whitechapel, while Miss Barrett becomes increasingly anxious in Wimpole Street. When her father tries to prevent her securing Flush's return, and even dear Mr Browning advises her against giving in to blackmail, she leaves her sickroom and takes matters into her own hands. 

Abridged and produced by Sara Davies.
