A Play in One Act by ALLAN MONKHOUSE
Characters: Wheeter and Minon.)
The three members of the Perkins family lived uneventful lives in a small house in a London suburb. One evening, however, their drab tranquillity was disturbed by something crashing through the window-pane of their sitting-room. Instantaneously they became receivers of stolen property in the shape of ' The Grand Cham's Diamond,' and for a time their small sitting-room was a storm centre.
This happened some time after the evening meal, when Perkins was reading a newspaper, Miss Perkins engaged upon a cross-word puzzle, and Mrs. Perkins darning a sock.
