The Barchester ChroniclesTV Show

Slope continues to manipulate those around him. Having overstepped the mark and offered the position of hospital Warden to Quiverful, he gets Proudie to agree that should Quiverful opt to withdraw his acceptance, they would be in a position to offer it once again to Harding. Slope manipulates the kindly Quiverful into withdrawing his acceptance but doesn't quite count on Mrs Quiverful, who goes straight to Mrs Proudie to complain. When the Bishop's wife learns that Slope used her name in his dealings with Quiverful, he makes an enemy that no man would dare want. Slope has also continued his visits to Signora Madeline Neroni, with whom he is clearly smitten. Meanwhile, Harding and Eleanor visit the Archdeacon and elder daughter Susan. Mr Grantly is still preparing to go to war with Slope and objects when Eleanor receives a letter from him.
