tells Adam that she knows that the house doesn't belong to him. She tells him that she is going back to the motel to
have dinner with her father. "We won't be having wine and candles but at least there'll be a hell of a lot to talk about,"
shouts Miranda, and storms out.

In the sitting room Lloyd Munro and Meg talk about the American trip and Lloyd laughs at the expression on Sandy's face
when they told him about the trip. "He actually beleives you're going to the states," laughs Lloyd. Meg looks
at Lloyd. "I am serious," she tells him, and Lloyd stops laughing.
Arthur Brownlow reads the local paper at the dining table. "Oh no, you're not reading the death columns
are you," laughs Kath. "I'm here!" exclaims Arthur. "What!" asks Kath. "I'm here. Look. Brownlow,
Arthur. Suddenly at his home. Peace before pain," quotes Arthur from the newspaper. "Arthur, what does it
mean?" asks Kath. Arthur says it could be a jok but no-one knows about him except Kath and Doris Luke. Arthur
says Brwonlow isn't a common name and he'll go and ask Doctor Butterworth about it.

Diane Hunter goes to the hospital to visit David. David says he heard what she did for Rosemary and he is grateful.
"I heard they fed you through tubes," says Diane. "When I was in a coma," replies David. David tells her that
he is going for a walk later. "It's surprising how your world shrinks when you're in hospital. The most trivial
things seem so important," says David. Diane tells him that she knows what happened and that it wasn't an accident.
"I won't say anything. Don't worry," says Diane.
Arthur Brownlow tells Kath that he showed the newspaper cutting to Doctor Butterworth and he said he would look into
it.

gown and into bed.
Barbara asks him what he is going to do when he gets out of hospital and David says he is going to take a long holiday.
Barbara notices some travel brochures by the bedside, and looks at them. "The West Indies. How long will you be
gone?" she asks. "How long can you be away?" asks David. Barbara stares at him. "Well you have got a portable
typewriter haven't you?" asks David, smiling. "I thought you'd never ask," says Barbara, and kisses him.
Glenda Brownlow finds a copy of the local paper in the motel staff room and looks through it to find out what

going to look after the motel. Meg tells him that Tish Hope is going to help out.
The phone rings at the Brownlow house and Kath Brownlow answers it. She hands the phone to Arthur. "Yes.
Oh, you mean there was...I see. Well I can hardly take it in doctor," says Arthur. He puts the phone down.
"It's a miracle," says Arthur. he tells Kath that there was a computer error and the Arthur Brownlow they read about
in the paper was the one who only had six months to live. "There's nothing wrong with me," says Arthur. Kath hugs
him.
Doris Luke goes to the Brownlow house and says she saw the notice in the paper of the death of a man called Arthur Brownlow.

about and Arthur tells him that he feels much better and he has changed his mind about retiring. He says he is going
to see if he can get his old job back.
