Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Joan Carr-Jones
(To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.)

Last week Gerda was called away to look after her sister who was ill. She left a message for her husband with Paul Vernon, who decided to keep it to himself, to spite Henry Thornton. Henry was very worried when he had no news of Gerda. While Gwen and David were discussing the incident, Gwen felt that David was being a bit overbearing about it, so she hinted that Mr. Fulton might want her to travel abroad. The next morning David met Mr. Fulton and asked him if this were true. Mr. Fulton jumped to the conclusion that Gwen had heard from his agents that he had been invited to lecture in America. He went to tell Sally and began to make plans accordingly. When he spoke to his agents and found it was not so he was furious with Gwen. Bob came home for the week-end and was disgusted to learn Ashley had made a date with Miss Pink that he had no intention of keeping and that he had only made in order to impress Jenny. Mrs. Freeman went with Sally to her cottage to spend a few days in the country. While out walking she caught Joe Parsons poaching.
