Adapted as a television play by Philip Mackie.
[Starring] Jean Cadell
The year is 1926, and old Adeline Whiteoak has reached the age of a hundred and one. Though she spends most of her time in bed now, she is as ready as ever to lash out with her tongue or her stick. She has achieved her ambition of having great-grand-children - though not one-tenth as many as she would have wished. Still, Piers and Pheasant have a baby son, and Meg and Maurice Vaughan have a daughter. In the nature of things, the old lady can't be expected to last very much longer. The question that possesses her family is, whom will she leave her money to? The obvious choice is Renny, eldest grandson and master of the house; but Uncles Nicholas and Ernest feel that they have better claims - and indeed every one of the Whiteoaks nourishes a more-or-less secret - hope. Everyone, that is, except Finch. Finch is the misfit of the family: a shy, awkward eighteen-year-old, he is laughed at by the uncles, ordered about by Renny, bullied by Piers. But he is Adeline's grandson, and has inherited at least some of the old rebel's spirit. (Philip Mackie)
