The Unrest Cure By Saki

**** This programme was suggested by John Henderson as part of BBC Radio 4 Extra's All Request Weekend ****

When people break down under stress they're sent on rest cures. But Huddle is suffering from too much repose - so he needs the opposite kind of treatment.

The cure Clovis prescribes, involves a group of fiendish boy scouts, several mysterious telegrams and the sinister Colonel Alberti.
