It was discovered that Parkwood Lodge was to be pulled down and the land used by rhe Council as a new housing site. Mrs. Dale and Mrs. Freeman, bitterly opposed ro this scheme, decided to form a Residents Protest Committee. Oswald Garnish arranged for Sally to Start hat-making lessons with a friend of his. Maud French and Sally quarrelled, because Sally discovered that it was Maud who provoked .Richard Fulton into a slanderous attack on Barnabas Matthews at a literary iunoheon which she attended. Phill;p Beel, during a snort visit to London on his way to work in Paris, proposed to Elaine.
Sally was forced to write to Mrs. Cunningham abou.t her unpaid account with ' Sarah,' and Mrs. Cunningham objected to what she considered an impertinent letter. Mrs. Dale took Sally's dog. Bflla, to be fitted for a harness; whilst in the shop, the dog was frightened and ran off into the street, and although Mrs. Dale chased her, she was unable to find her.
