by WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY dramatised as a serial in thirteen parts by Howard Agg 3: The Primrose Path
Major Pendennis returned from Chatteris, having succeeded in bringing to an end the engagement between his nephew, Arthur, and Miss Emily Costigan , and thereby saving the family honour. Captain Costigan had promised to write a letter to Arthur that would terminate once and for all the whole absurd business; and now, at Fairoaks, the Major waited anxiously for the letter to arrive.
