by ANTHONY TROLLOPE adapted for radio in thirteen episodes by H. Oldneld Box Episode 2
Dr. Thorne's ne'er-do-well brother, Henry, has met his death at the hands of Roger Scatcherd , whose beautiful sister Henry had seduced, and who, in consequence was to bear a child. Dr. Thorne has adopted the child to enable the mother to marry another man.
Now, nineteen years later, Dr.
Thorne is established in practice in the village of Greshamsbury; and no one suspects that Mary Thorne is other than his legitimate niece. The child has been educated at the Manor House with the daughters of Dr. Thorne's great friend, Mr. Gresham, the squire.
