A Comedy in three Acts by Harold Chapin.
Played by the Cardiff Station Radio Players.

In her room on her husband's house-boat, the Hyacinth, Betty Jones has retired to bed, one afternoon, with the full intention of staying there - a silent, injured heroine in a most becoming boudoir cap.
This is the outcome of a battle of words with a certain Mrs. Wister (who lives on the house-boat next door), which had startled the neighbourhood that morning.
According to her very 'modern' views, Betty has been fully justified, but a slight pricking of conscience, coupled with the excitement left from the fray, makes her pour out, together with a dish of tea, the whole shocking story to her friend, Alice Meyne!
Later, her husband comes in, and presently the inevitable result of her outburst brings Betty up on deck on one of the hottest evenings of a record summer.
