Valentine #2 February 1963

Synopsis

Betty has a sentimental attachment to the old gas lamp-post outside her bedroom window. Over the years, she had seen lovers kiss there and Peter had proposed to her under it. When a hole is dug next to it in preparation for replacing it with a modern lamp-post, Betty fights to keep the old lamp-post. Her last resort is to place a chair over the hole and sit in it to prevent progress on the new lamp-post. It seems that no one, not even Peter, is on her side. When she is moved, she looks back to discover that Peter is sitting over the hole and is willing to lose his job to support her.
