Freddie and Shula agree that last night鈥檚 Hunt Ball went well; Elizabeth had commented that with the return of the alcohol licence, it was like passing a test. Freddie offers to proof read Shula鈥檚 autobiography for the DDO, but Shula clocks what he鈥檚 up to and refuses. She鈥檇 really rather he didn鈥檛 read it; it鈥檚 very dull and she鈥檚 decided she鈥檚 not a born writer. She agrees to him having some friends over on Bonfire Night, with an assurance that he鈥檒l obey the house rules; no fireworks.
Alf admires the turkey poults. Eddie disappoints him; he won鈥檛 be getting a special rate. Alf鈥檚 keen to pursue the letter from Carmen that they found amongst Joe鈥檚 things. Eddie鈥檚 all for leaving it alone, so Alf tries his luck with Clarrie. Whilst Clarrie鈥檚 incredulous Joe had managed to keep such a secret, she too is dismissive of Alf鈥檚 nonsense. As a last hurrah, Alf tries to tempt the two of them with the prospect of a pot of gold. Wouldn鈥檛 they grab it if they suddenly had the chance to get Grange Farm back instead of having to vacate? They surely owe it to Joe鈥檚 memory to find out? Grudgingly Eddie agrees to help.
