Book at Bedtime - The Aspern Papers - Episode 3

Episode 3 of The Aspern Papers by Henry James, read by Samuel West. The collector of memorabilia belonging to the long-dead poet Jeffrey Aspern has secured rooms in the house of Aspern's ancient and withered ex-lover. He has met the old lady and has been startled by her unromatic keenness to relieve him of his money, but he feels any outlay would be worth making to secure the letters and papers he wants. Accordingly, he embarks on a campaign of charming Miss Bordereau's middle-aged niece in order to get her co-operation. Abridged and Produced by Christine Hall.
