The third of four radio plays by James Nichol set in Kingforks. Caleb Rumel is a drunk and has been since he was a boy, but Mary Purty loved him anyway. Caleb had been hired by Mary's husband as the family's driver. Her husband was never home, so slowly Caleb and Mary began an affair that lasted until just before her death. From her sick bed Mary called Caleb to her. She gave him a paper that would make him a rich man. It was a codicil to her will giving Caleb $15,000.
