The third book of ' The Forsyte Saga' by John Galsworthy
Adapted as a serial in eleven parts by Muriel Levy
Part 5
Production by Hugh Stewart
There is only one person that Soames Forsyte would not wish his beloved daughter Fleur to meet, and that is Jon, the son of Jolyon and Irene, Soames's divorced first wife. The two children have not only met but have fallen in love, unaware of the past.
Sensing something sinister, Jon begs his mother to tell him about the family quarrel, but she says that must be left to his father. She side-tracks the issue by arranging a holiday abroad for herself and Jon. Meanwhile, Michael Mont visits Soames's house and falls in love with Fleur. Fleur is not interested, and also sensing some ominous secret designed to keep her and Jon apart, begs her father to tell her of the family quarrel. Soames is anguished and still cannot pluck up courage to tell her.

An account of the journey made in 1897 by the Swedish aeronaut Salomon August Andree
What happened to him and his two companions remained a mystery for over thirty years, but then by chance their bodies and their diaries were discovered, and it is now possible to reconstruct not only the facts of their expedition but the character of the man who led them and his vision.
