Episode 5
Miss Bordereau interviews her lodger, and he and Miss Tina make an excursion, but he's no nearer the papers. Read by Samuel West.
Episode 5 of The Aspern Papers by Henry James, read by Samuel West.
Aspern's literary editor, having laid out a good deal of money and time in the quest for previously unpublished papers connected with the poet, is growing restless at his lack of results. He has now recruited the pathetic niece Miss Tina to the cause of preserving Aspern's letters from destruction by her aunt; at the same time, he becomes convinced that Miss Bordereau herself has guessed what he's about.
Abridged and produced by Christine Hall.
