A Sovereign Remedy

Two cyclists tumble from a steep moorland path, their bikes tangled in dust and their apologies as sudden as the crash itself. Both claim the name Edward Cruttenden, a bewildering coincidence that sparks a light‑hearted debate as they catch their breath beside a quiet pool fed by mountain streams. The rugged landscape—rolling hills, heather, and a distant sea—provides a vivid backdrop for their unexpected encounter, hinting at the larger world they each must navigate.

As they share a pipe and sort out the mix‑up, the two men decide to travel together, their rivalry softened by curiosity and a shared love of the open road. Their journey promises a blend of witty dialogue, gentle humor, and reflections on identity, duty, and the simple pleasures of countryside life. Listeners will be drawn into a charming early‑20th‑century adventure where chance meetings become the catalyst for self‑discovery and unexpected friendship.
