Other parts played by Ronald Wilson and members of the BBC Drama Repertory Company Produced by Wilfrid Grantham
Jeffrey Wilson , an American of small-town origin, is married out of his class to a woman of money and family. He has succeeded in life, but not in the way he had hoped. His life, he feels, is aU bits and pieces, he belongs nowhere.
It is October 1940, and the war in Europe, with its attendant uncertainties and anxieties, has brought to a head his restlessness and dissatisfactions. Somewhere along the path of life he has lost his way. He looks back over his past, to his early life in Bragg, Massachusetts, with its humiliating genteel poverty-and to his early love.

by Gilbert Murray , o.m.
In this talk Dr. Murray reminds us of some of the great refugee movements in history, and remembers some refugees from the more recent past whom he was able to help personally.
