After last week’s interruption, Barrowsgate continues the tale of the sark. After the party, Barrowsgate and his friends go to see a play – and Barrowsgate’s brother in law – the Tarves one – has a role in it. Note: Sandy Murray (Mrs Barrowsgate’s brother) lived in Tarves and was fond of amateur dramatics.
