Intro
BRAMWELL/Episode 4/Intro by Russell Baker

Once upon a time in London, there were certain streets that seemed to be reserved for specific businesses and professions.

Savile Row meant tailoring, Bond Street meant top-of-the-line shops, Chancery Lane meant the law, and Fleet Street meant journalism.

For doctors, there was Harley Street. People looking for the best in medicine sought out doctors whose offices were located there.

It didn't always follow that a Harley Street address guaranteed the best in medicine, but even if the doctor was sometimes second-rate, the social cachet was so good that the best people were willing to pay the price.

Eleanor Bramwell's father, Robert, has for years kept his office in his home, but as tonight's story opens, he is about to move himself up the social ladder and his practice into Harley Street.

Eleanor has always worked at the other end of the social scale, operating a threadbare little charity clinic in London's East End.

She'd threatened to close it and give up medicine altogether after her fiance walked out on her, but though she's still depressed and thinks her life has been a failure, she's now back at work in the clinic.

Eleanor may be melancholy, but Robert is not. In fact he has every reason to be happy. And the move to Harley Street is only part of it. He's also in love with the widowed Alice Costigan, and she obviously enjoys his company. The problem is that Mrs. Costigan is not the only woman fond of Robert's company.
