Capt'n Davy's Honeymoon

A newlywed couple storms the ancient walls of Castle Mona on the Isle of Man, trading bitter accusations that turn a honeymoon into a battlefield. Captain Davy Quiggin, a rough‑handed sea‑dog with a heart as big as his swagger, clashes with his wife Ellen—once wild as peat, now polished and proud—over the very money he has spent to win her. Their heated exchange hints at a deeper rift, a force they both call “Education,” that threatens to tear them apart before the first month ends.

Born in a mud‑shack by the sea, Davy’s life has been a grind of herring‑nets and farm work, leading him to fall for the minister’s daughter, Nelly, who becomes Ellen. Their love story is rooted in simple, hard‑won devotion, yet the couple’s starkly different temperaments and expectations set the stage for conflict. As they navigate duty, pride, and the pull of their pasts, listeners are drawn into a vivid portrait of love tested by circumstance and the stubbornness of two strong‑willed souls.
