("La Consulesa") by Serafin and Joaquin Alvarez Quintero
English version by Helen Granville-Barker and Harley Granville-Barker
Catherine Lacey in...
It is always pleasant to dip into the lazy latitudes of Iberia with those sentiment Spaniards, the Quintero brothers, although their engaging little works (affectionately translated by the Granville-Barkers) are infrequently performed on our stages. "The Lady from Alfaqueque" is a typical trifle from their repertoire, suffused with the gentle charm and sunny romanticism which are the hallmarks of their wares.
Fernandita is a lady who has lived in Madrid for twenty years, but whose heart will always belong to the litte Andalusian town where she was born and brought up. She lives happily enough with her husband in the capital, but we suspect it is only because she bas taken care to surround herself with so many mementoes of home.
"I sometimes think," she will say, "that Heaven must be very like Alfaqueque," and she plainly believes it to be inhabited by angels. But a surprising number of the angels leave their heaven for Madrid and find their way to her apartments where, to the mild exasperation of her husband, she offers trusting hospitality to all who cross her threshold with the magic name of Alfaqueque on their lips. It seems almost inevitable that some day her trust must be betrayed. (Kenneth A. Hurren)

Appeal on behalf of the Historic Churches Preservation Trust by the Archbishop of Canterbury
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Historic Churches Preservation Trust has been founded because thousands of our beautiful and ancient churches will sink into decay if help is not urgently given. More than eight thousand of them were built before the close of the Middle Ages, some three hundred before the Norman Conquest. Affection is felt for them far beyond those who worship in them regularly.
The ten years from 1939 onwards in which normal maintenance had to be suspended have left a tremendous burden of arrears; £ 4,000,000 is needed over the next ten years to supplement the efforts of parishioners.
The Queen is Patron of the Trust, the Duke of Edinburgh is President, and the Archbishop of Canterbury is Chairman. The Trustees include leading figures from aH the main walks of our national life. Though the great majority of old churches are in the keeping of the Church of England, the Trust will also help historic churches of other religious communions.

The morning after Mr. Rochester's declaration of love, Jane found herself wondering whether she had been dreaming. However on receiving Mrs. Fairfax's somewhat surprised congratulations she realised that the events of the previous evening were indeed real. During a month of happy courtship Jane remembered the letter her uncle had sent from Madeira, and decided to write and inform him of her intended marriage with Mr. Rochester.
The night before her wedding, Jane was awakened by an apparition standing over her bed Its face, discoloured and savage, gazed upon her with ferocity. She became insensible from terror.
The next day at the church the wedding service was interrupted by the reappearance of Mr. Mason with a solicitor, who declared the marriage unlawful as Mr. Rochester had a wife now living. Back at his home Mr. Rochester revealed that Mr. Mason's sister, Bertha Mason, was indeed his wife, though a maniac confined to Thornfield Hall and guarded night and day by Grace Poole

Talk by Anthony Smith
In trying to write a book about a journey he and three friends had made to the South of Persia to look for, among other things, blind white fish, Anthony Smith realised not so much what they had done but what they had omitted to do and observe on their trip. In his talk he discusses the merits and the disadvantages of such a narrow and definite type of objective.
This is the sixth of a group of talks by representatives of 'the Queen's generation.'
