ARY explains to a visitor about Hartford callers who came and went in September. Elizabeth sits nearby as an invalid, while Myrtle relaxes in a rocker. Mary recalls Hartford friends planned a trip to Vermont and asked if it would be possible.
Mary and Elizabeth recount meeting their Hartford relatives after 15 years. The visit brings joyous memories, lively talk, and warm greetings as they recall preparing coffee and supper for the guests who arrived on their way home through Himwood.
Myrtle and Elizabeth discuss coping with illness and luck as they part after a visit. A quiet scene unfolds with talk of cheering others, a begonia gift, and reflections on resilience, gratitude, and a husband’s teasing note about a gown.
Tom forgets his dinner plans as Mrs. Tom frets about a new suit and straw hat. A late invitation to the Wrights leads to a lonely, empty house and a chilling reveal when Tom returns with guest Mr. Parsons to find no one home.
A crusty old gentleman visits a household with an air of authority, querying for eggs and asking where Mrs. Tom keeps her aprons. Tom becomes a makeshift kitchen helper under the guest's calm scrutiny as the scene centers on pantry dealings and an unusual domestic moment.
The tale follows a night of wild revelry as a husband and guest raid the pantry, cooking a feast from scraps while Mrs. Brown notes the chaos. A next door spectator recalls the scene as strangers clash with beer, bread knives, and a kicked cat amid comic misadventure. Parson’s signature money slips hint at deeper schemes.
Effie exits as Mrs. Meekins repeats a tax remark four times while recounting a narrative. Mrs. Gaylord endorses the reply and Effie’s mother echoes similar sentiments, all amid a lampshade visit and talk of Mrs WK Beauty of the Night.
Effie learns how Mrs Meekins and Mrs Hanson gossip about a wedding cake, a lampshade delivery, and a neighbor’s money worries. The scene centers on Mrs Hanson and her family as Effie overhears talk about taxes and milk bills while playful chatter fills the parlor.
Effie steps outside after a wedding cake scent fills the room and wanders the moonlit yard. She admires silvered grapes and stars, hears frogs bidding summer farewell, and debates wedding dress choices with her mother and Mrs Gaylord, feeling both wonder and restraint.
The town gossips pin a scathing tale on Marcia and Fred Harris. Mrs Tinkham hints at a second affair and Marcia, overhearing a phone call, confronts a stunned truth about her husband Tom and a violet scented mystery.
In a tense salon scene, Marcia wrestles with love, jealousy, and a mistaken claim about a glove from a client. Tom's lighthearted intrusion heightens the drama as Marcia debates whether to confront the rival or release him to a possible union with another woman. The moment ends with a doorbell sending her to confront Fred.
In a lively scene Phil Moore describes Tom and Marcie joking about loyalty at home. An amused crowd learns Fred returns to the fireside as “the old pal” is persuaded away from suspicion. A ticket wagon moment adds comic relief as a seller laments sold-out seats.
