Meanwhile Crane's banker, troubled by debt and a greedy mistress, is very eager to collect against the wager. CASTLES FOR TWO: Wealthy American Patricia Calhoun comes vacationing to Ireland where she is struck by the hardship of the locals. Siding with the peasant gives her a poor first impression of their Irish Lord. However Lord Brian O'Neil is no cruel landlord and his estate is struggling too.
