Grandsire Triples

Afternoon ReadingThree Short Stories by E Nesbit
Episode 3 of 3

Kate and her lover resolve their differences when accidentally locked in the church bell tower. By the author of The Railway Children. Read by Jenny Agutter.

Kate's 'intended' comes back from learning farming, a Catholic.

Kate is torn between duty and love, a conflict that is dramatically resolved when the two lovers inadvertently get locked in the bell tower, during a Grandsire Triple peal ("there's five thousand and fifty changes to 'em, and it's a matter of three hours!') groans Kate.
