by ANTHONY TROLLOPE adapted for radio in thirteen episodes by H. Oldfied Box
Episode 4
Greshamsbury, once so prosperous an estate, is now heavily in debt. Frank Gresham , the young heir, has alarmed his mother, Lady Arabella, by the signs of affection he has shown for Mary Thorne, the doctor's niece. Lady Arabella has resolved that Mary's visits to the Manor House must cease. Frank must marry money. Yet it so happens that the great fortune of that self-made man, Sir Roger Scatcherd, may one day pass to Mary. But this is something that Doctor Thorne alone knows. Even Sir Roger himself does not know it; for he has made his will in complete ignorance of Mary Thorne 's identity.
