O Law I Law: 6

BBC Home Service Welsh

by Anthony Trollope
Adapted for broadcasting in thirteen parts by H. Oldfield Box
Part 6 with members of the BBC Drama Repertory Company
Produced by Peter Watts
When Harry Clavering , son of the Rector of Clavering, became engaged to Florence Burton , he had been in love before-with Julia Brabazon , the sister of Lady Clavering, his cousin Hugh's wife, up at Clavering House.
Julia had jilted Harry a year before to marry Lord Ongar, and now she is a wealthy widow. Because of some unfounded scandal linking her name with that of an adventurer, Count Pateroff, Sir Hugh Clavering refuses to recognise her or to have her at Clavering Park; so it falls to Harry to meet her train when she returns to England, and, devoted though he is to Florence, he is disturbed to find that Julia still holds her old attraction for him.
At Easter, Florence comes to Clavering to stay at the Rectory for the wedding of Harry's sister Mary, and they are all charmed by her simple and unaffected ways. Even Mr. Saul, the earnest young curate who is apparently hopelessly in love with Fanny, Harry's younger sister, feels that Florence would make a sympathetic confidante.
