Episode 8
Characters in order of speaking:
Produced by Norman Wright
Laurence's sister, the good Miss Fitzgibbon, has settled with the moneylender, Clarkson, and so relieved Phineas of his most pressing anxiety. Phineas has been duly re-elected as the new member for Lord Brentford's borough, Loughton. And though Violet Effingham has refused to listen when he has told her he loves her, she has done this so gently as to make him feel that his case with her is by no means hopeless.
But back at Killaloe with his own family, he is chagrined to find that Mary Flood Jones has been removed from the town by her widowed mother, who feels that Phineas has treated her daughter very badly. Lady Laura and Mr. Kennedy have been spending the recess at hough-linter. Here Lady Laura has been finding her husband's exacting surveillance quite unendurable.

by Lord Brand
The speaker had many contacts with both Lord Milner and Field-Marshal Smuts during his career in South Africa, beginning in 1902 when he joined Milner's staff in the High Commissioner's office in Johannesburg at the age of twenty-four. In 1908 when the various South African Governments had decided to call a convention for the purpose of uniting them all under one constitution, he was asked by Smuts to help him prepare a draft constitution for the Transvaai Government to present to the National Convention.
Lord Brand talks about the personality and the work of the two men, and suggests that Lord Milner's view of the problems of racial harmony is still relevant in South Africa today.
