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 Gwen and David returned from Wales. David went to see Dr. Dale to get his permission before his engagement to Gwen was made public. Dr. Dale asked David to wait six months before getting married. Gwen tried to tell Mr. Fulton but he refused to listen. When eventually she did tell him he was furious and said he would do all he could to stop the marriage as he could not have a married woman as his secretary. Gwen was hurt and upset. Gwen and David went to buy the ring during a lunch hour; while they were trying to get a taxi for Gwen, Michael drew up in his car and gave her a lift. He told Gwen that if she ever changed her mind she had only to say so, and he would marry her.
