AN OLD MAN'S LOVE

This story explores the question: If you love her, do you let her go? Along the way are questions about honor, sacrifice and loss. These poignant themes are well served by the exquisite narration of Tony Britton. He deftly distinguishes the characters, particularly the moods of the thoughtful old man. Through Britton's perfect pitch, the listener has finely drawn images of the characters: William Whittlestaff, the stoic, good man; John Gordon, his less polished, callow rival; and Mary Lawrie, the ingenuous, honorable orphan they both love.
