Miss Mapp

Miss Mapp spies on Tilling from her garden-room window, then Isabel Poppit telephones a last-minute bridge invitation she teases about accepting.

Miss Mapp curtsies in the road to a young man she mistakes for the Prince of Wales, after Mrs Poppit flaunts the MBE the King gave her.

Diva cuts pink roses from her chintz curtains for a new dress, and Miss Mapp steals the idea and covers her own frock with poppies.

Diva dresses her maid Janet in the same chintz roses Miss Mapp copied, and Mrs Poppit exposes Elizabeth's hoarded food cupboard at the bridge party.

Major Benjy and Captain Puffin quarrel drunkenly over whisky, Benjy sends a duel challenge, and both flee to the station only to laugh it off.

Tilling waits for news of the duel, but Major Benjy and Captain Puffin return from golf unharmed; Diva buys a crab to get the Padre talking.

Miss Mapp has Susan deny the rumour that the duel was over her, which only makes Tilling believe it, then Diva arrives in an identical gown.

Miss Mapp spies on Major Benjy, catches him drinking with Captain Puffin in the mist, then brands both men cowards who fled the duel.

Major Benjy apologises to Miss Mapp for the duel, she forgives him only if he drops Puffin, then parades him round the shops.

Miss Mapp arrives at Susan Poppit's bridge party in crimson-lake to find Diva in the same gown, then sees Susan and Mr Wyse kiss in the garden.

Mr. Wyse telephones that Diva's invitation was lost in Figgis's coat, and at his party the Contessa fawns over Miss Mapp while flirting with Major Benjy.

Captain Puffin dies drowned in his Christmas soup after a stroke, and Miss Mapp consoles the lonely Major Benjy with piquet and golf lessons.
