In this episode, we journey into the timeless prose of Thomas Hardy with A Mere Interlude — a short story about uncertain love, sudden choices, and the quiet power of regret. We follow Baptista Trewthen, a young schoolteacher from a small Cornish village, as she travels to marry a respectable older man. But when fate unexpectedly reunites her with a former lover, her carefully planned future begins to unravel.
