The Farmer Had a Wife
To encourage more human interest stories, Don persuades Eddie to help watercress farmer David Mortimer, whose wife Rosemary has disappeared for a second time, and is being accused by other villagers of murdering her, to try and locate her. The trail leads to ex-doctor Knightley in whom she confided about her husband's jealous, controlling nature and with whom she had a child, now nine years old and adopted.
