However, a restless wife, Lady Susan, and even more restless tenants, hint at troubled times ahead.<br /> <br /> Following a fall whilst playing polo, Captain French faces something approaching a crisis of confidence. His nerve deserts him and, when the hunt proves incapable of catching an elusive silver fox, questions are asked about Captain French's (known as Master of Foxhounds) strength of character. As French himself knows, weakness is something his class &ndash; the gentry &ndash; finds insupportable whether in India or in marginally less remote corners of the Empire, such as West Cork. A price will have to be paid...<br /> <br /> Director and producer Eoin O'Callaghan<br /> <br /> Two episodes of one hour each.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">With:</span><!--underline--></span><!--bold--><br /> Captain Hugh French....John Dougall<br /> Lady Susan French....Gillian Kearney<br /> Slaney Morris....Cathy Belton<br /> Wilfrid Glascott....Nicholas Boulton<br /> Major Bunny Bunbury....Antony Glennon<br /> Danny Quin....John Hewitt<br /> Brigid Quin....Marion O'Dwyer<br /> Tom Quin....Pat Kinevane<br /> Tim O'Driscoll....Kevin Flood<br /> Tierney....Stephen O'Rourke<br /> Mrs Slattery....Aine McCartney<br /> Mrs Glascott....Jasmine Callan<br /> Capt Onslow....Richard Howard<br /> Train driver....John Hewitt<br /> <br /> Dramatised by Christopher Fitz-Simon and directed by Eoin O'callaghan.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About the Authors:</span><!--underline--></span><!--bold--><br /> Edith Somerville (1858-1949) and Violet Martin (1862-1915: published as Martin Ross) were second cousins who formed the successful literary partnership, 'Somerville and Ross'. They met in 1886 and came to share a home in Drishane, County Cork.<br /> <br /> Their first book, 'An Irish Cousin', appeared in 1889, and by Martin's death in 1915 they had published 14 titles together, including 'The Real Charlotte' (1894), 'Some Experiences of an Irish R.M.' (1899) and 'In Mr Knox's Country' (1915). Somerville continued to write and publish as Somerville and Ross despite Martin's untimely death, believing that, through spiritualist s&eacute;ances, the two remained in contact.<br /> <br /> The lives of the two women were dramatised by Maureen Duffy in her BBC radio play 'Only Goodnight', (1981), in which Edith Somerville was played by Mary Wimbush and Violet Martin was played by Rosalind Adams. In 1986 the BBC radio play 'The Irish Cousins: On the Hunt for Somerville and Ross' also by Maureen Duffy was produced with Kate Binchy as Edith Somerville and Sorcha Cusack as Violet Martin. They left thousands of letters and 116 volumes of diaries detailing their relationship. Although they never explicitly described their relationship as lesbian they did make it clear that they regarded themselves as married.<br /> _______________________<br /> <br /> Type : mpeg 1 layer III<br /> Bitrate : 128 <br /> Mode : joint stereo<br /> Frequency : 48000 Hz<br /> Encoder : Lame 3.96<br /> _______________________<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ubuntu+MythTV+LAME+DVB-T=MP3 </span><!--bold--> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://cheops.fm">http://cheops.fm</a><br /> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://radioarchive.cc">http://radioarchive.cc</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> - the Spoken-Word Radio Torrent Archive</span><!--bold--><br />
