Adapted as a serial intwelveepisodes by H. Oldfield Box from Anthony Trollope 's novel
' The Prime Minister '
Episode Eight
Characters in order of speaking:
Narrator, Noel Iliff
Produced by David H. Godfrey
Lopez has succeeded in persuading old Mr. Wharton that his attempted attack on Arthur Fletcher had been intended for Emily's sake. Mr. Wharton has asked Lopez to act as mediator between himself and Everett; in this capacity Lopez has become quite intimate with his father-in-law. But here too Lopez is playing a double game. For his own ends he is actually working to increase the division between father and son, while pretending to do all in his power to end it.
With Emily, however, he is not getting everything his own way. Emily has refused to accede to his request that she will never see or speak to Arthur Fletcher again, and Lopez, beside himself with fury, is punishing her by almost ignoring her.
