Well, let's see, last week was all about people in strange new places. German POW's at large in Toronto, Vera at the Posh Ladies' Club, some woman I'd never seen before (supposed to be an upstairs neighbour? Maybe this bit was originally written for Edith) making herself at home in Lorna's kitchen, Dr. "Just Call Me Ned" Patel at Lorna's roast beef dinner, Lorna's son Eugene missing from that same dinner and turning up at the girls' rooming house, and finally pale redheaded Kate singing in the choir at Leon's all-black church.
Carol said the worst thing yet to Vera and got smacked down by the Head Posh Lady. "Miss Demers! Any shoulder put to the wheel is one worthy of respect!" I can just imagine her answering "If you insist, ma'am, I'll respect her shoulder. One of them. The rest of her, however . . ."
Was that a turning point for Carol, or is she just going to be the Major Frank Burns of Victory Munitions?
And as the Head Posh Lady has taken a liking to Vera, I really hope she gives Vera some mentoring on how to be not completely tacky.
