6-' Great-Uncle Matthew comes back '
Production by Josephine Plummer
Many are the changes that will greet Great-Uncle Matthew on his return. Since he last saw them, a great deal has happened to the three Fossils he left as babies in the care of his long-suffering niece, Sylvia. Pauline has made a successful debut as an actress; Petrova, nourishing her secret ambition to be a pilot, is studying hard for her ground licence. And Posy? Well, Posy's future career is perhaps the most spectacular of them all.
