Script by Jonquil Antony
To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.
As a result of Alec's escapade last week in Sally's shop. Mr. Beech gave her an ultimatum: either she res'gned or he refused to go into partnership with Miss Russell. When Sally went to offer her resignation, Miss Russell said she did not care for Mr. Beech either, and fortunately an aunt had let her have the money she needed for the business. Bob arranged for Elaine to stay with Mrs. McMorran because she ' needed a rest.' To everyone's surprise Ashley took to Timothy and made a great fuss of him. Jenny went to Sandbourne for the day. Mrs. McMorran told her Bob had gone to London and Ashley had taken Timo'hy and Elaine out. Later Bob found Jenny coming out of the theatre very upset because she thought EJaine had taken Ashley's friendship from her. Grandfather Dale arrived unexpectedly. Mrs. Morgan was worried because she had not heard from her daughter for a long time.
