by Sir Walter Scott
Adapted as a serial for broadcasting by John Keir Cross
Produced by James Crampsey
Darsie Latimer, in his quest for the solution to the mystery of his birth and inheritance, is now more bewildered than ever. The Laird' (his rescuer from the Solway quicksands, alias Mr. Herries of Birrenswork), the Edinburgh lawyer Alexander Fairford, even Willie Stevenson the fiddler, all seem to know more about him than he himself does. He has again met his Dulcinea, the girl in the green mantle. Miss Lilias, for so is she named, has warned him that the sooner he is away from the Solway the better for his skin. The blind fiddler, Wandering Willie, is equally grave in his foreboding of danger.
Meanwhile Alan Fairford, now embarked on his first cause in law, that of Peter Peebles, finds that even here there are intertwinings with the fate and fortune of his friend Darsie Latimer.
