Script by Lesley Wilson
Last week Mrs. Freeman, Sally, and Mrs. Dale, with the help of Alec, took the baby's cot, which Mrs. Freeman had bought with her prize money, to Gwen. They noticed Alec seemed to be evasive about his business. Gwen asked David to come with her to buy a pair of low-heeled shoes. To their amazement, the salesman was Alec. He asked them to keep it a secret from the family. Mrs. Owen. staying at Virginia Lodge, had lunch with Richard Fulton. She accidentally told him Gwen was expecting a baby. As they had arranged, Dr. Dale went to Sandbourne with Bob and Mrs. Dale to Gimlet Green with Sally. When Mrs. Dale and Sally arrived they found the cottage deserted. Sally drove over to see what had happened to Zenobia. On the way she swerved her car to avoid the Rev. Francis Austen, who was riding his bicycle, and hit a gatepost. Although the car was damaged, Sally suffered only slight shock and the doctor advised her to rest for a few days. Zenobia was ill in bed, so Mrs. Dale's week-end of rest turned out to be quite the opposite.
