by JOHN GALSWORTHY
Dramatised as a serial in ten parts by Muriel Levy with Rachel Gurney and Carleton Hobbs
Wilfred Desert is dead, and Dinny begins slowly to respond to Eustace Dornford 's affection for her. But now her main concern is Clare's impending divorce case. She persuades Jack Muskham not to take away Tony Croom 's job, even if he loses the case, since Muskham was partly responsible for breaking up Dinny's own relationship with Wilfred. Gerald Corven makes another offer to withdraw his action if Clare will return to him, but the whole family now supports her, despite the publicity and knowing she has only a slender hope of success.
