Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Jonquil Antony
Last week Mrs. Dale felt very restless after all the fuss and worry of the wedding, so she decided to make some chutney and marmalade. Gwen and David returned from their honeymoon in Paris. Gwen told her mother about another young couple they had met, the Dennisons, and how she and David had tried to give the impression they had been married for a long time, and how it turned out that the Dennisons were themselves newly married.
It was arranged that Mrs. Skeats should help Gwen three mornings a week in the flat. Mrs. Morgan was quite pleased because she decided that while Mrs. Skeats helped Gwen there was no danger of her trying to invade Virginia Lodge. Jenny's first day at the academy was not a success and she told Sally she was going to leave. However, Bob and Sally persuaded her to give it a longer trial
