A new serial play in four parts by Mary Dunn from her book of the same name
3 — ' Suspicion '
Production by Josephine Plummer
After Cousin Beta fell and sprained her ankle it was discovered that her valuable gold and topaz chain was missing. Then when Baba was so naughty and went off on her own to explore the Foxes' Path on Cader Idris, she lost her way. It seemed great good luck to meet the Professor unexpectedly up there— but was it? He was so strange and sharp with her, not at all his usual cheerful self, and told her quite harshly to leave him and go home. Meanwhile, further up the mountainside. Jerry and Owen Owens had suddenly seen a light in the mysterious hut. Owen Owens swore that it had not been inhabited since his grandfather's time — so who could be there?
