Edwin Glayhanger enjoyed his first supper-party at the Orgreaves but thought their guest Hilda Lessways dull and ugly. When, later that night, she sought him out to discuss some-thing he had said, he was intrigued but despised her for running after him. Two days later, at the Sunday School Centenary Celebrations, the decided she was unpredictable and full of surprises; he was touched by her gentleness to the old Sunday School teacher from Turnhill, Mr. Shushions.
Edwin collected fifty pounds from the Benefit Club and bought many of the books he had long coveted. His father, seeing the books, accused him of pilfering, and there was a quarrel. That evening Edwin learned that Hilda had suddenly left Bleakridge. Fifteen months later she returned. He found her provocative, and plucked up courage to arrange to show her over the works next day.

Piano Trio in E minor, Op. 90 (Dumky) - played by the Loveridge-Martin-Hooton Trio: David Martin (violin) Florence Hooton (cello) Iris Loveridge (piano)
Dvorak wrote his Dumky Trio in 1891, between frequent visits to England. It was his fourth and last essay for piano trio, a form over which he had shown growing mastery since the Op. 21 of some fifteen years earlier. The dumka, a Russian and Czech lament in which yearning melancholy and wild gaiety keep alternating, was in Dvorak's blood; he had already used it incidentally in the great A major Piano Quintet. In the present trio, however, all six movements are dumky. The danger lay, of course, in the music's being one long push-pull of fast-slow themes, but Dvorak magnificently justified the rink and, by sheer freshness of invention and a cleverly-managed key pattern, brought off a thrilling work.
