Adventures of Bindle

Joseph Bindle is a quick‑witted furniture remover whose everyday job turns into a cascade of odd jobs and eccentric encounters. In this lively collection he assists the enterprising Mr. Hearty with a shop promotion, inadvertently converts Lady Knob‑Kerrick’s drawing‑room into soldiers’ billets, and finds himself juggling the duties of a porter at Fulham Square Mansions. Familiar faces such as the gloomy Ginger, the scheming Wilkes, and the ever‑curious Millie Hearty pop up, creating a bustling community of quirky characters that keep the story humming with humor.

The first act opens with Mrs. Bindle’s frantic search for a lodger, sparked by a “Wanted” notice in The Gospel Sentinel. A noisy dinner table, a half‑eaten pie, and Bindle’s dry commentary set the tone for a comedy of domestic misunderstandings. As the couple debates the advertisement’s promises, listeners can expect a series of tangled arrangements and good‑natured chaos that define Bindle’s world.
