          Newlyweds Norman and Rita return to Peyton Place. 

WA:       Norman Harrington and Rita Jacks eloped last night.  
          Impulsively perhaps, but also because they are deeply in love.  
          Now they've come back to make a new life for themselves, and 
          they find a new world.  The first snow has fallen on Peyton 
          Place.

          that she will sleep on the couch.  Ada says that she will buy 
          them an electric skillet. [An appropriate gift for the day.]

          machinery.  Schuster tells Peyton that he fired Gus.  Peyton 
          asks if the insurance company has been notified. 
     
Scene 6:  Norman talks to Rodney.  Rodney fusses at him.  Norman tells 
          Rodney that he and Rita got married.   Rodney says he will move 
          out of the apartment.  Leslie comes in.  Rodney offers him some 
          coffee.  Norman tells his father that he and Rita got married.  
          Leslie says, "Well, what's done is done." 
        
Scene 7:  Rodney walks down the stairs across the square and stops in 
          front of the Pillory.  Police Ofc. Frank walks up and asks 
          Rodney if Norman is home.  Frank says that he has another 
          subpoena.  Frank climbs the stairs.  Rodney tosses the 
          snowball.
