by Anthony Trollope
Adapted for radio in twelve episodes by H. Oldfield Box
EPISODE 9
Produced by David H. Godfrey
Mrs. Harold Smith, on behalf of her brother, Nathaniel Sowerby , has conveyed to Miss Dunstable his offer of marriage. Miss Dunstable has refused him, and so Sowerby's ruin is now only a matter of time.
Lady Lufton's cherished scheme to bring about a marriage between her son and Griselda Grantly has come to naught. Griselda indeed is now engaged to Lord Dumbello, heir of the Marquis of Hartletop. And young Lord Lufton, determined not to take Lucy Robarts 's rejection of his offer of marriage as final, has asked her brother Mark to repeat this offer to Lucy on his behalf.
