A programme for children under five
'Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.' No one can listen for long to these broadcasts for the under-fives without recognising these words as an unvarying element never omitted. We have learned to realise that, for many children, they are more than a mere form of words, and the response of some to the idea embodied in them has become almost a ritual, without which their listening is not complete. We received an amusing description of a four-year-old 'ensconced in an armchair padded with five cushions, with a small chair on which to put his feet, padded with two more cushions. He certainly means,' says his mother, 'to answer truthfully when you ask, "Are you sitting comfortably?"' Once, a long time ago, we omitted these words. The reproof was instantaneous: 'You forgot to ask the children if they were sitting comfortably!' - and the disappointment was real. Something they were waiting for had failed to come. We have never forgotten since.

Last week Dr. and Mrs. Dale decided that if Gwen was well enough they would agree to her going to the South of France with the Fieldings. Mrs. Morgan went to Susie Johnson 's and Thompkins' engagement party. Miss Pink met a young man, Ronnie Mallory , who was very attentive to her because she had led him to believe Maud French was her mother. Mrs. Mountford gave Thompkins, for a wedding present, a portrait of herself as a young girl. Bob heard that Mac was thinking of opening another radio shop in Paddington.
