'Goodbye to the Bell Family'
The sixth and last part of the serial play written for Children's Hour by Noel Streatfeild
At the piano, Gwen Knight
Production by Josephine Plummer

This is the last instalment, in which we said 'Goodbye' to the Bell Family, but it is hoped listeners will enjoy hearing from them again. It really is not a sad occasion, because they have just heard the wonderful news that Mrs. Gage is coming with them to the new parish. By great good fortune she has managed to find a house there, and she and Mr. Gage are going to move into it almost at once.
