Mrs. Date, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Jonquil Antony
Last week the Dales heard that Gwen was all right after her fall and would soon be about again. Jenny met Peter to explain that Bob had nothing to do with her breaking their engagement. Peter told her he had now given up the idea of becoming a farmer, and so they became
Engaged again. The following day Peter apologised to Bob. Gerda Peterson, the doctor's secretary, was taken ill. Dr. Dale suggested Mrs. Dale should take her place. Miriam decided to take a house near Park-wood Hill befoie she visited Canada. While Alec and Mrs. Freeman were looking over a house, Sally arrived and said Tony Coppard knew of a house which might suit them. The two orchids which Mrs. Freeman had been tending for Mrs. Dale began to wilt, so she decided to put two new ones in their place. Monument decided upon the same action, and Mrs. Dale discovered she had some very exceptional orchids which multiplied themselves, pots and all!
