What happens
Cynthia Winship, a young Englishwoman, travels with her mother to Paris during the Great Paris Exposition of 1948 and checks into the Grand Hotel Universel. Her mother collapses, and a doctor sends Cynthia across the city for medicine. When she returns, the hotel staff insist that she and her mother never arrived. Cynthia is left doubting her own memory, and she turns to Bruce Stanley, an Englishman who offers help. Escape is a radio drama series, and this episode aired on February 7, 1948. The leading actors credited in the episode include Joan Banks as Cynthia and Bruce Stanley as Bruce.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
