The Light Tread of Summer by JOHN KIRKMORRIS
The village summer dance looks as if it's going to be a disaster: no one's bought any tickets, the band's pathetically old-fashioned and Jim and Sybil, the two chief organisers, seem to be far too busy carrying on a flirtation to bother with actually organising. But Sybil's husband decides it's time he started to lend a hand.
