Description Adapt for radio by Bernard Kearns. The Dowager Lady Monchensey gathers all the family members to welcome home Harry, but he finds his ageing relatives overpowering and, above all, he is consumed with guilt about his wife, whom he may have murdiered. His guilt takes the form of the Eumenides, those Furies from ancient times, who drive him to desperation.
