Part 6 Other parts played by Mary Wimbush , Sulwen Morgan and Peter Claughton
The affairs of the Forsytes, and in particular Soames, the Man of Property, are reaching a stage where one waits, fascinated, for the next move. The eyes of Philip Bosinney, the young architect who is engaged to June, are now undoubtedly riveted upon Irene, the beautiful wife of Soames.
Soames is busy acquiring property for his new house at Robin Hill, designed by Philip Bosinney. which is being built for the sole purpose of taking Irene away from such town influences as Soames thinks are not fitting. He does not so far appear to have noticed the intrigue which is boiling up between his wife and Philip, and which is indeed the main topic of conversation in the Forsyte drawing-rooms ... and in particular at Timothy's house on the Bayswater Road.
