by Anthony Trollope adapted for radio in thirteen episodes by H. Oldfield Box
Feeling the difficulties of her position while Frank Gresham was to be at home, Mary has gone to Boxall Hill, to stay with Lady Scatcherd for the period of Frank's Easter vacation. Here an unexpected complication has arisen in the arrival of her son, that dissolute weakling Sir Louis Scatcherd, who has begun forthwith to pester Mary with his unwelcome attentions.
Frank, learning of Mary's enforced exile from Greshamsbury and feeling that his mother has treated her very badly, has taken the law into his own hands, and has ridden over to Boxall Hill to see her.
