Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Joan Carr-Jones

Last week Mrs. Dale stayed with Gwen because David had to go away for a few days on business. Isabel told Mrs. Dale that Trudi Baume, a young Swiss girl, daughter of a friend of her husband's, was coming to live with them. When she arrived she was acclaimed by all as being very sweet and attractive. Berridges had a staff dance. Miss Pink, influenced by Poppy Coffin, had a new hair-do and facial. Bob met her beforehand, and thinking it was probably for his benefit, did not go to the dance. Maud French was asked by the editor of a woman's magazine to write an article on Richard Fulton. Richard Fulton had photographs taken at his flat but when he realised who was writing the article he refused to allow the pictures to be used. Maud telephoned Gwen to ask her to use her influence and persuade Richard Fulton to change his mind.
