Keeping Maggie from wandering off and getting lost is becoming more difficult. And the police aren't much help. But why is Maggie wearing her late husband's medals? It isn't Anzac Day, is it? Or is everyone out of step but Maggie?
Everyone knows you can't buy friendship, but Arthur's going to give it a go anyway. Maggie obviously needs someone, and maybe Wilma will do the ironing as well. Anything's better than living with the friend Maggie found for herself.
Maggie is pretty sure she had a wonderful time on her honeymoon if she could only remember. And if Arthur won't take her back to Katoomba, she'll go by herself. After Arthur teaches her to drive.
It's always dangerous to give someone a surprise birthday party, especially someone like Robert, who may have other plans for the evening, that certainly don't include his mother, or his wife.
