3 Persuasion - Abridged By Stephanie Poppins
In 1813, 54-year-old widower Sir Walter Elliot of Kellynch Hall, Somerset reviews his entry in the list of nobles in order to take his mind off his troubles. He has overspent his income and is deep in debt. His daughter Mary is insulated from the crisis because she is married but it impacts the lives of his unmarried daughters, Elizabeth and Anne. Sir Walter dotes on Elizabeth but ignores Anne. In this episode, news comes that Admiral Croft, a native of Somersetshire and a man with quite a large fortune, is interested in renting Kellynch Hall. All Sir Walter is concerned with, is that his appearance must be "orange" and weather-beaten from all his time at sea!
