Script by Jonquil Antony
Last week Dr. Dale Mrs. Dale arranged a theatre party for Mrs. Owen. During the evening she confessed to Mrs. Dale she had accidentally told Mr. Fulton that Gwen was expecting a baby. Before going to work, Gwen was very touchy with David because she was worried about Mr. Fulton's reaction. However, it transpired that he was extremely thoughtful and nice about everything. Mrs. Freeman lost a purse with the raffle money in it and had to borrow money from Mrs. Dale. Gwen, going to meet David at the station, borrowed an umbrella. When she opened it, the purse dropped out. Miriam telephoned Virginia Lodge to say Alec had left his job and could not be traced. Sally, hearing this from Gwen, met Alec and gave him fifteen pounds to go back to his old job in Edinburgh. Later in the week, when Sally was lunching at Virginia Lodge, Alec turned up. He said he had backed ' all winners at the Derby with her fifteen pounds and had no intention of returning to Edinburgh!
