Rush gets a call about the telephone and a dispute with Mr. Neestuffer, and the household's routine continues around the guests' arrival.
The small house of the Gook family in a small town, with its living room, kitchen and bedroom upstairs, on the day Rush is due to take a train.
Characters: Rush, Sade, Winnie, Miss Gag
Listen for: Rush's rushed attempts to pack and leave for the train, and Sade's repeated urging that he greet Winnie and her man.
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.
