Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Lesley Wilson
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m. Last week Maggs told Mrs. Dale about his difficulties with Mrs. Dolly and asked her how he could end the engagement without hurting Mrs. Dolly's feelings. Mrs. Dolly brought her children, with their husbands and wives, to meet Maggs and he became even more distressed. But all ended happily as Mrs. Dolly decided she didn't want to lose her freedom. Mr. Fulton gave Gwen and Sally tickets for Wimbledon. While there they met Brigadier Mutty. Gwen told him she was flat-hunting. The next day he called at Virginia Lodge and gave Mrs. Freeman the address of an empty flat. Mrs. Dale was most upset at the thought of Gwen leaving, but Dr. Dale said she was not to interfere. Gwen eventually confessed that she had heard Edward Fielding complain about the prospects of having a baby in the house. Edward Fielding assured them he meant no harm, and wanted Gwen and David to stay.
