by ELIZABETH GASKELL dramatised in nine parts by BARRY CAMPBELL with and 3: The New Mama Molly was positively unhappy, and her father did not appear to see It; he was absorbed with his new plans and his new wife that was to be. But he did notice it; and was truly sorry for his little girl; only he thought that there was a greater chance for the future harmony of the household, if he did not lead Molly to define her present feelings by putting them into words. It was his general plan to repress emotion by not showing the sympathy he felt.
