In Old Acquaintance two childhood friends who have grown into very different adults, although they are both successful authors. The independent Katharine 'Kit' Markham is carrying on an affair with a younger man while divorc�e Mildred 'Millie' Drake refuses to loosen the apron-strings on her teenage daughter, Dierdre.
