Script by Jonquil Antony
Last week Mrs. Dale recorded in her diary that Maggs (Mrs. Morgan's lodger) won a goose and, to Mrs. Morgan's concern, insisted on keeping it as a pet. Dr. Dale told Mrs. Dale he thought they should give a dinner-party. Mrs. Dale disapproved of the matron at Brimscombe House Old People's Home, because of the unnecessary regulations she enforced. While Mrs. Dale and Sally were wrapping up silver, Sally noticed a newspaper paragraph about a man rescuing a woman from a burning house. He was not expected to live. The name was Tony Coppard-the name of her first husband. She left a note the next day saying she had gone to see Tony, who was in hospital in Devonshire. Dr. Dale asked David to go and see her and persuade her to return to London, as they were afraid she might take Tony to her cottage at Gimlet Green.
