The Mayor of Casterbridge
Authorship not stated
You play Susan Newson's daughter, walking to Weydon-Priors fair where a furmity-seller finally explains the debt your mother has carried for eighteen years: her first husband, Michael Henchard, sold her at auction to the sailor you called your father. He has prospered since, Casterbridge's new mayor, toasting over a grain scandal you watch through an inn window. Hiding at the Three Mariners, you meet Donald Farfrae, a traveling Scotsman with the exact formula Henchard needs, and warn him not to let the mayor's gratitude turn into command.
