          Rodney takes Sandy webber to dinner at the Inn.

WA:       Lee Webber is a man who believes in the concept of ownership. 
          Despite the fact that his wife, Sandy, has filed for divorce, 
          he's convinced that she still belongs to him.  That she is 
          still private property.  He knows that some months ago Sandy 
          and Rodney Harrington met, while he sat in a jail cell.  Now, 
          Sandy is dating Rodney Harrington openly.  The private property 
          is no longer his. 
      
Intro:    Lee Webber, chauffeur, is pacing up and down beside the Peyton 
          limousine as Rodney Harrington drives up in his white-over-blue 
          rag-top convertible, tag no. 691-352.  Rodney parks in front of 
          the limo and escorts Sandy into the Colonial Post Inn.

          hosting Steven and Betty after meeting with his Boston 
          attorney, William Robert Kennerly, at the airport.  Peyton 
          sees Rodney and his date, stands up, goes over to Rodney's 
          table and invites Rodney and the charming young lady, 
          Sandy, to sit at his table with Steven and Betty.  Peyton seats 
          Sandy to his left.

Scene 3:  Elliot is talking to Constance in the kitchen as Rachel comes 
          back in, carrying a doggie dish of milk.  Constance admonishes 
          her to put her coat on before going out again.  Rachel goes 
          outside one more time and comes back inside.  Elliot puts on 
          his coat and goes for a drive with Rachel.  
       
Scene 4:  Chandler sees Leslie going into the Clarion carrying a manila 
          envelope.  Inside the Clarion, Rachel and Elliot are composing

          estranged wife, Sandy.  Sandy tells Lee, "What I do, and 
          who I do it with, is none of your business."

          chauffeur's cap, gets back in the limousine, and drives off.

          across from the General Store, and helps Sandy in his car.

          her the key to the strong box and she inserts the papers and 
          puts them in the safe.  Peyton says that he doesn't need the 
          medicine.  Peyton opines that Betty has remarkable

          over Rachel.  Sandy says Rodney is treating her like a 
          wharf-rat.  Rodney reminds her of her no-strings promise.

          kisses her goodnight.

          EC:  He could have faked this whole thing.  
               I have to check it. 
          Eli: I want you to go straight to the police.  
               I don't want you taking the law into your own hands. 

          LH:  Tell him, please, these reports do not leave this 
               office without a written request.  I have no intention 
               of establishing a pattern of dealing through an 
               intermediary. 
        
          LW:  Maybe you'll go out on a date with me.
          RW:  What do you mean?
