What happens
Maggie Phillips, a single woman of thirty-five who runs a lending library in Fremontville, Northern California, feels restless as spring arrives. She is drawn into a contest sponsored by the Bulwark Oil Company that offers two weeks in Europe for a short essay. Her friends Clara Bainbridge and Cecil Halliburton offer advice, and she turns to Hiller Hawkins, a truck mechanic new to town, for information about motor oil. Dorothy McGuire stars in this romance, the Lux Radio Theatre broadcast of June 22, 1953.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
