Harry Smith tells Jacqueline Barrett that he has called a taxi to take her home.  When Jackie arrives home she tells Diane Parker that Harry Smith kissed her.  "It must have been quite something if you took your earrings off," says Diane.  Jackie feels her ears.  "Oh the thieving slob!" exclaims Jackie.  She phones the motel and asks if Harry Smith is still there and is told that he left ten minutes ago.  "Well?" asks Diane when Jackie has put the phone down.  "He's gone with the wind, the dirty crook," sobs Jackie.    

 

The following day Meg asks Diane into the office and tells her that a Miss Ethel Wisbey has booked into the motel and made a point of mentioning that she knew Philip Warner Blyth.  Meg says Warner Blyth has married for the second time and Ethel Wisbey said the second Mrs Warner Blyth wasn't the sort of woman to take liberties with. 

 

Jane Smith visits Muriel Baines and asks her how her dinner with Victor Lee went.  Muriel says she enjoyed it.  "It would be quite easy to strike up a friendship with Mr Lee," says Jane.  "Yes, I suppose it would be," agrees Muriel.  "Be careful not to start anything while Jim's in hospital," advises Jane.  "If that's what you're thinking I can do without those kind of thoughts.  Get out.  Go on, get out and stay out!" shouts Muriel.

Victor Lee telephones Muriel Baines to thank her for the meal, and says he would like to return the favour.  "If I drove over it would just be a case of you getting in the car, and we could go to a restaurant," he suggests.  "No, no.  I couldn't do that.  Anyway the children will be off school soon," says Muriel.  "Yes well perhaps some other time," says Victor.  "Yes.  Bye," says Muriel and puts the phone down quickly.
