Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Billy Thatcher
Mrs. Dale came back from Italy. Mrs. Morgan told her about the plan to have Renee and Dotty living at Virginia Lodge. Mrs. Dale said, finally, that she could not have them living there. Bob and Jenny had a row when Jenny told Bob that she had made an appointment to see the theatrical management about the part in Julian de Mauncey's play. Joanna still had doubts about marrying Ivor.
