Episode 4 of 5

Devoted spaniel Flush and his newly-married mistress escape London's Wimpole Street and travel to Italy. Read by Jenny Coverack.

Flush's life changes dramatically as his mistress and her new husband leave London's Wimpole Street behind them - and travel to Italy.

As the Brownings begin their married life in Florence, Flush too finds a new lease of life amid the rich sensations and smells of the Florentine alleys and fields.

Once again, however, a new arrival threatens to disturb the enjoyable routine.

Virginia Woolf's biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's devoted spaniel, Flush.
