3—' Wandering Willie'
Produced by James Crampsey
(George Dories is in 'A Scrape of the Pen ' at the Gateway Theatre, Edinburgh)
Darsie Latimer , saved from death in the quicksands by the enigmatic ' Laird of the Solway Lakes,' senses that his rescuer knows more than Darsie himself of the mystery surrounding his birth and fortune. With the help of the Quaker fisherman, Joshua Geddes , young Latimer begins to make his way back to the inn at Shepherd's Bush.
Meanwhile in Edinburgh, Darsie's friend Alan Fairford reports the arrival of two strange visitors to his father's house-a Mr. Herries of Birrenswork, and a young lady in a green mantle. The former makes it clear that his business with the old lawyer concerns Darsie Latimer ; the latter makes it no less clear to young Alan that so long as Darsie remains on Solway-side he is in the gravest danger.
