A play for radio adapted by Elleston Trevor from his own novel 'Redfern's Miracle'

Characters in order of speaking: [see below]

'You couldn't lend me a cigarette, could you?' Her voice was not quite refined and her gaze was not exactly clouded with modesty, but she was simply dressed in a neat red costume... 'I'm sorry,' he said nervously 'but I'm afraid I smoke a pipe.'

(To be repeated on Thursday at 3.45)
