We would just be put in the class.

Speaker 7 (02:30):
Of a computer getting up in the morning, warn to
sleep at night during I work during the day, and
it becomes a very dull life. I think that any
person who has a love of something and an understanding,
I think is not only richer culturally, but their life
is much cool.

Speaker 8 (02:47):
Don't you think.

Speaker 3 (02:56):

Welcome to the Sound of Suspense, the fear you can hear.
For the next fifty two minutes, We're going to take
you into the world of mystery, into the world of
terrifying imagination. The story you are going to hear concerns
a question which has been asked since the first men
on earth were born and died?

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Is there a life after death?

Speaker 12 (07:30):
Is there a way to return from the grave? And
if there is, can we come back in the body
of a living creature, even one that has claws instead
of fingernails. Here is one chilling answer, doctor saying.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I have to tell me cause my wife I've come
back as a bird, a sparrow, something like that.

Speaker 13 (07:54):

that your chimney and damper are cleaned and in good
working order.

I can't breathe, Harold Uh.

Speaker 16 (10:27):
While you're about it, ask about first aid courses too.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Now Here is act one.

Speaker 12 (10:44):
Like all murder stories, sooner or later it reaches the
office of a daily newspaper.

Speaker 8 (10:51):
You wanted to see me, chief, You bet I want
to see you. Prowtie, come in and shut that door.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
I bet I know what it's about.

Speaker 17 (11:00):
Up that story I filed on Richard Morsby.

Speaker 8 (11:02):
Right, I got a flash for you, crowdie. This is
a newspaper office, not a fiction magazine. You take this
story of yours and see if you can sell it
to Weird or Digest or something.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
But get it off my desk.

Speaker 17 (11:14):
Now, wait a while, Max. I know it's off beat,
but I thought I handled it with a with a
kind of a light touch.

Speaker 8 (11:20):
Stories about murder can't be handled with a light touch,
not on this paper.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
But it's accurate.

Speaker 17 (11:26):
I mean, this is exactly what the guy Moresby told
me just before he died.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Well, he must have been out of his head.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
He asked for somebody to hear his story.

Speaker 17 (11:33):
That's how I got to meet him. I was at
the hospital covering that subway accident.

Speaker 8 (11:37):
Now that story made sense to me, nothing but nice,
clear facts like this nonsense.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Peez. Let me tell you about this guy. Maybe you'll
change your mind.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
All right. What about him?

Speaker 17 (11:50):
Well, for one thing, it was a real distinguished looking guy.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
The only thing peculiar about him was his eyes.

Speaker 17 (11:57):
His eyes, Yeah, they were a pale blue eyes I
ever saw on a man.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
They weren't really blue at all. They were they were
like silver.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Big deal. So he had silver eyes.

Speaker 17 (12:08):
And when it started to tell me about himself, well
I just had to hear the whole story.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Chee yes. I was born to My family moved to
the States when I was young. They didn't improve much
on the climate when they did. We lived in Vermont.
I don't think I was ever warm enough until the
age of twenty four, when I moved to southern California.
I lived on beaches. A superb swimmer, a superior surf
border and a terrible bump. It was on the beach

(12:34):
at Malibu that I met the woman who was to
become my wife. Her name was Buona. She was as
pale as a guardenian, a gardenia with bones. Una had
more bones than any other woman I've ever met.

Speaker 14 (12:47):
Lovely day, isn't it?

Speaker 18 (12:49):
I beg your pardon, I said, it's a beautiful day.
I don't think I've ever seen the ocean look pretty.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Frankly, the Pacific always looked a little money to me.

Speaker 18 (12:59):
I wonder if that's what Balboa said when he first
saw it.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
He probably said, what a great place for surfing.

Speaker 14 (13:05):
Ah, I see you have a surfboard.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yes. A. As a matter of fact, I think I
see a wave that I like. Will you excuse me?

Speaker 14 (13:11):
I wish I had the nerve to try it?

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, you really should well buy now.

Speaker 14 (13:16):
Maybe I'll ask my chauffeur to teach me.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
I'm sorry, what did you say.

Speaker 14 (13:22):
Charles, my chauffeur. He's very good at.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Sports show I've you know, come to think of it,
that wave doesn't look so good after all. Ah. By
the way, my name is Richard, Richard Morrison.

Speaker 18 (13:37):
How do you do My name is Una?

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Una Vandermeyer, that was her name. As soon as I
realized that she was from the Vandermeyer family, she didn't
seem half as bony as she did before. In fact,
not only did I become accustomed to UNA's parents, I
was even able to tolerate her name conversations.

Speaker 18 (14:04):
Can't you just feel the mystery of the stars, Richard?
Sometimes I feel their vibrations as if they're trying to
communicate with me.

Speaker 14 (14:13):
Do you ever feel that?

Speaker 6 (14:14):
WHOA?

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Sometimes I suppose.

Speaker 14 (14:17):
I really think we must be one with the universe. Two.
I really believe there's just one great universal soul and
we're all part of it. Don't you think so too?

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yes? Of course, right on as they say, you see
your name? Does she talked that way all the times
from the first day of our honeymoon. Well, it was
a fine honeymoon, just the same. It lasted a whole

(14:51):
year on the beaches of the Caribbeans, the French Riviera.
I got browner and browner. Who got freckles? Finally we
returned to our home in Los Angeles and settled down
to acquiet, comfortable marriage on Earth.

Speaker 18 (15:14):
Is that your playing it's sitar music, Darling, Oh, it's
just so spiritual.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
What what made you buy the record?

Speaker 18 (15:24):
No, Doctor Singh recommended it. Who Doctor Singh at the
Temple of Metapsychosis, He knows what metapsychosis. I told you
about joining the temple last week, Oh Richard, sometimes I
think you don't listen to me.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Now. As you may know, Southern California abounds in quasi
religious organizations, and she'd gone through a number of them
without discovering the universal soul at any of their authors.

Speaker 18 (15:54):
Darling, please come to one of doctor Singh's lectures. He's
such a magnificent speaker. He emits such vibrations, and.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
I went, you see what an obliging husband I was. Actually,
it turned out to be more interesting than I thought.
The temple itself was unpretentious, and Doctors Saying was an
impressive man. And when he spoke, I realized why his
message had such appeal for owner, because he preached a

(16:31):
doctrine that combined eternal life with the love of small animals.

Speaker 8 (16:36):
The soul is immortal, the soil cannot die. The soul,
upon leaving the body, must make.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Its passage elsewhere.

Speaker 13 (16:44):
That is a science called eschatology, which deals with the
last four things, Death, judgment, heaven, and help. It is
the most ancient of all sciences, and from its wisdom
has come the inescapable certainty at the transmigration of stores.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, yeah, I know, it's a bit weird but stingy.

Speaker 14 (17:05):
And where does the soul go?

Speaker 8 (17:08):
According to the wise men of all generations past, the
soul departs from the mouth of the dying.

Speaker 13 (17:15):
It is consequently a small thing, a bird, a snake,
a mouse, a.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Dove, or a hawk, a dog, a cat, an insect.

Speaker 13 (17:26):
For these small creations of God are empty vessels placed
upon earth for only one purpose, to house the departing
souls of humanity, so that they need not wonder forever
in a trackless eternity.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, yes, pure right of course. But that's what the
man said, and owner sat there and believed every single word.

Speaker 14 (17:48):
Oh wasn't he marvelous?

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Richard?

Speaker 14 (17:51):
Isn't it wonderful that the soul never dies, that we
can all come back as a little animal.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
I'm not sure I want to come back as an animal,
but you would.

Speaker 14 (18:01):
Still be you, Richard. Oh don't you see?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Mmmm?

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well, by the way, what was that envelope you handed?
Doctor Singh After the meeting the envelope.

Speaker 14 (18:11):
That was my donation.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Of course, your donation to the temple.

Speaker 18 (18:14):
Yes, to support the work of doctor Singh to open
either temples around the world.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Uh uh, Well, how much money was in the envelope?

Speaker 14 (18:23):
And what does it matter?

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Richard? I'm just curious two thousand dollars? Una? Will you
go to that temple once a week? Do you always
give that kind of donation.

Speaker 14 (18:34):
It's all in a very good cause, Richard.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Well, in an equally good cause that of finding out
exactly how much of my wife's money was supporting this nonsense.
I sneaked a look at UNA's check book. The answer
astonished me. Not only had my wife put more than
thirty thousand dollars into doctor Singh's collection plate, she had
also donated some twenty thousand more to various institutions for

(19:04):
the care and feeding of cats, dogs and birds.

Speaker 18 (19:08):
It was so kind of you to honor us with
a visit Doctor Singh's I know how terribly busy you are.

Speaker 8 (19:14):
On the contrary, you are kind to invite me to
your lovely home.

Speaker 18 (19:20):
Now tell me, doctor Singh, what determines the kind of
animal one becomes when the soul escapes after death.

Speaker 13 (19:29):
Ah, missus Morsby, that is a question which has battled
Wiseman for countless generation.

Speaker 14 (19:35):
But isn't it possible to do well research?

Speaker 13 (19:38):
Yes, missus Morsby, I don't doubt that we could find
the answer to such great questions if only we had the.

Speaker 8 (19:47):
Proper resources you mean, like laboratories and so forth.

Speaker 13 (19:51):
No, the research I mean or would be conducted merely
by spreading the word of metempsychosis to the five schooners
of the earth inlet human experience reveal the truth to us.
But unfortunately that would require money, a great deal more

(20:12):
money than the movement.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Has at present. While it seems to me you don't
do badly, well, there you are, hello, Richard. Well, we've
been all morning.

Speaker 14 (20:30):
Right here in my little sewing room.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Don't tell me you were sewing.

Speaker 18 (20:35):
Oh, don't be silly. Actually I've been composing something, a letter, oh,
something more important than that, Richard. Do you realize that
I have no last will and testamony?

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Well, why should you healthy, young chicken like you.

Speaker 14 (20:51):
I can't call myself young anymore, Richard.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
You'll always be young to me, darling.

Speaker 18 (20:55):
Oh that's very sweet, but just the same, it's only
practical to have a will. Would you read it over,
Richard and see if it well, if it sounds legal.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Enough, certainly? Well, let's see now, I owner vander Meyer Moresby,
a resident of the City of Los Angeles, State of California,
residing at ah Sheard and drive, being over the age
of twenty one, of sound and disposing mind and memory. Darling,
this is superb. Where on earth did you get the language?

Speaker 14 (21:22):
Well, to tell you the truth, I copied it out
of Daddy's will.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
The one that left you ten million. Yes, well, I
don't see how you could go. Let's see now, not
acting under duress, menace, fraud, or undue influence of any
person whomsoever. And gosh lory, what is it?

Speaker 19 (21:42):
What?

Speaker 1 (21:43):
You're not serious about this? Oh?

Speaker 14 (21:46):
About making a will? Of course?

Speaker 16 (21:48):
I mean this, this bequest to the temple of a
mumbo jumbo.

Speaker 14 (21:52):
What's wrong with it? Now? Listen, Darling.

Speaker 18 (21:54):
I told you how important doctor Singh's work is, but
it requires money to carry it on, tons of money.
So the least I can do is to help the
poor man as much as I can.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
But you're giving him ninety percent of your entire fortune.

Speaker 18 (22:10):
Ah, You'll still have a million dollars if I go first, Richard,
isn't that enough?

Speaker 1 (22:14):
No? It isn't.

Speaker 20 (22:15):
No.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. Don't you realize
that man is a fraud, a charlatan. What for heaven's sake,
will open your eyes? Don't you realize the simple truth?
Your money won't build any temples. It's just going to
line the pockets of that turban phony.

Speaker 14 (22:33):
Richard, what a terrible thing to say.

Speaker 18 (22:37):
Well, you told me you like doctor Singh, that you
are very impressed by his theory of transmigration.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Darling. I was only saying all that to please you.
But now I'm telling you that the only thing doctor
Singh is planning to transmigrate is your money into his
savings account. And frankly, I'm not gonna let him do it.

Speaker 14 (22:56):
Richard, what are you doing? You're tearing up my will?

Speaker 1 (22:59):
That's right here, you.

Speaker 14 (23:00):
Do such a thing. It's my money, and I'll do
whatever I please with it.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
ownA Darling, I just want you to have a chance
to come to your sense.

Speaker 18 (23:06):
And there's nothing wrong with my senses. I can see
very clearly what the real trouble is. If I didn't
leave a will all my money would go to you,
wouldn't it.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Well, Lurtually, i'm your husband. You don't have any other Olwen.

Speaker 14 (23:19):
That's why you're acting this way. It's just plain and
simple greed.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Owner. Listen to me.

Speaker 14 (23:23):
Oh, it's all right, it's all right.

Speaker 18 (23:25):
I'm glad you tore off that, Will Richard, because I
realize now that I was.

Speaker 14 (23:29):
Quite wrong, do you.

Speaker 18 (23:31):
Yes, it's a mistake to leave only nine million of
my money to the temple.

Speaker 14 (23:36):
I'm going to leave all of it to doctor Sing.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
When Una actually drafted that incredible document and called our
attorney for a Monday morning appointment, I realized that I
had to do something very drastic before the weekend was over.
I had to kill my poor guided wife. I had
to make her one with the US.

Speaker 12 (24:11):
It's obvious that mister Moresby is going to be a
very reluctant murderer. The question is will his reluctance get
in the way of his efficiency. We'll get the details
when we returned shortly with that too.

Speaker 11 (24:33):
When you say Buddha, you said a lot of things nobody.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Else can see here. When you see Boodle, You've got
as far.

Speaker 19 (24:44):
As you can go to get the very well.

Speaker 21 (24:50):
Why do some people from Buddy sort of Special won't
go ahead and find out why for yourself? From you
when you need to tell you, just try it, Bud
and I think about it.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Decide to yourself for sure.

Speaker 21 (25:04):

Waldo now playing at Waldo A Story of the Boyfriend
Paul seven five six one two one two.

Speaker 12 (26:38):
Now let's return to Richard Moysby. In order to find him,
we'll have to search the highway for Richard has taken
his white Jaguar out for a spin.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
But there he is now. On Saturday morning, I took
a little spin in my ex kl and did some
thinking on the open road. I didn't want the killed,
of course, the whole idea was repellent. But on the
other hand, the thought of doctor Singh spending the fortune
that was rightfully mine was even more abhorrent. However, I

(27:14):
decided I would make one more stab in a reconciliation.

Speaker 14 (27:22):
Darling, it's your living room too.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
It doesn't feel like it. Matter of fact, I've felt
like a stranger in this house for the past two days.

Speaker 14 (27:34):
And I suppose that's my fault.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well, you haven't been exactly cordial, have you.

Speaker 14 (27:39):
I've hardly been home, Richard.

Speaker 18 (27:41):
I spent all day yesterday at the temple, all morning
at the pet breast kennels.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
And how are all the little soul's doing.

Speaker 18 (27:49):
You just won't stop being a reverend, will you. It's
been my money all along, hasn't it, Richard? From the
very beginning you were attracted to my money.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Darling, I thought that you would never have married.

Speaker 14 (28:01):
I didn't want to believe it. I don't want to
believe it now.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
How can I prove to you that you're mistaken?

Speaker 14 (28:10):
Richard? Do you really want to prove it?

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Of course, I'll do anything you said.

Speaker 14 (28:16):
All right now, I know exactly what you can do.
You can let me leave my money to doctor Sing
in the temple.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
The whole ten million.

Speaker 14 (28:26):
Yes, because that's the only way I'll know that it's.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Me you love.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Well, you can't say I didn't try. The owner's decision
now left me with absolutely no alternative. I was still
deeply unhappy about the necessity of taking a life. However,
Faith was kind to me that very afternoon.

Speaker 18 (28:57):
Now you are sure that you want me to continue reading,
of course, Darling. Well, I'm sort of embarrassed about this part.
It's it's it's a paper that I wrote myself.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Oh, something you wrote?

Speaker 18 (29:10):
Yeah, I wrote it this morning. I was going to
show it to doctor Singh. It's well, this is sort
of a poem.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
It's called death snappy title.

Speaker 18 (29:21):
I can read my own handwriting. Death has become nothing
to me. Death holds no fear for me. Come Death,
I welcome you. Lead me to the woods, the waters,

(29:42):
the air, above the earth. Come take me death.

Speaker 14 (29:48):
Your touch is kind, Old Richard White, you look like that?
Is it really that terrible?

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Terrible? Oh, my darling, it's it's beautiful.

Speaker 18 (30:03):
You mean it.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
You must give it to me, Una, I'm I must
have it.

Speaker 14 (30:07):
You like it that much?

Speaker 1 (30:08):
I yes, I certainly do.

Speaker 14 (30:10):
Oh well, uh, I'll type it up for you, Richard.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
No, no, I I I'm I must have the original now,
just just the way you wrote it.

Speaker 14 (30:17):
Oh, darling, I'm so flattered. Oh what would you do
with it?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Oh, I'm I'm going to I'm gonna put it in
the frame, of course, and I know just where I'm
going to hang it. Yes, I could hardly believe my ears.
Una had written her own suicide note, and her own handwriting.

(30:43):
It was truly calmer at work. Now there was no
question of failure and no longer any need for delay.

Speaker 14 (30:53):
Oh what a lovely idea. This was Richard candlelight dinner
for two.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Yes, yes, I I I thought you'd enjoy it.

Speaker 18 (31:01):
So sweet of you to handle the whole menu with
cook You spoil me shamefully.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
And that night I spoiled her just a bit more
by bringing hot cocoa to her in bed.

Speaker 18 (31:19):
Oh oh, Richard, you shouldn't have spotted it.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Well, I know how you l you like your hot
cocoa before retiring, Only you can't get to sleep without it.

Speaker 14 (31:27):
No, the parker could have brought it to me.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Oh no, this is something I had to do myself.
Oh well, i'll break it down now.

Speaker 14 (31:36):
Yes, I'm drinking it.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Does it taste all right?

Speaker 7 (31:40):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (31:41):
Taste just fine.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Now that was very good news, because I'd prepared the
hot cocoa myself, and I had no idea whether twenty.

Speaker 17 (31:56):
Five melted sleeping pills it would seriously affect the flip.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Finally, uner was all tucked in for the night. I
went into my study, picked up the poem she had
written for doctor to sing, and brought it to the bedroom.
I placed it carefully on the night table beside it.
Then I bent over my sleeping darling to see if
she was getting along. All right, you're very very quiet,

(32:22):
and then you was dreadful thing happened. Una opened her eyes. Richard, Richard, Hush, hush,
dar Now go back to sleep, Richard.

Speaker 14 (32:36):
I'm I'm sick.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
No no, no, my lather, no no, no, you're only sleeping.

Speaker 14 (32:41):
Google tasted so strange, said you, Richards.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
You'll feel much better in the morning, or I promise
you tomorrow morning, you'll you'll be one with the universe.
That paper, what paper, donner, it's.

Speaker 24 (33:00):
My my my poem for doctor sing.

Speaker 14 (33:05):
What's it doing?

Speaker 1 (33:06):
I was just just reading it over, Darling. That's all
I learned.

Speaker 14 (33:11):
Bottle like sleep s pills.

Speaker 24 (33:15):
It's empty. The bottle is empty. Oh, Richard, Richard, what
have you done?

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Nothing, Darling, nothing.

Speaker 14 (33:27):
I'll just go to sleep, go go, but sleeping pills
in it of them.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
I don't try to get up or not, please, I don't.
Don't don't trying to kill me, trying to.

Speaker 25 (33:42):
Do having's sake, now, stopped saying things like that to
your servants to hear. Oh, somebody, now, come on, light up,
light down, And if I haven't sake, come on now
let light up.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Oh that's that's better.

Speaker 14 (33:58):
You won't get a right with it. You won't forget away, Richard.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
I promise you anything you say, Darling.

Speaker 24 (34:09):
I'll come back.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Richard.

Speaker 14 (34:13):
You know how I'll be back.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yes, yes, of course. Just just welcome death the way
you wrote in your little poet.

Speaker 14 (34:22):
Uh huh be back, Hi, swear it.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Oh. Oh. The funeral was held two days later. It
was a magnificent occasion. Of course. I gave on a
a farewell that was consistent with her vast fortune. Everything

(34:52):
was the best hawking flowers, preacher, everything. A burial place
was one of the choicest. That's really stay as forest law.
The only discordant note of the fact that Doctor Singh
insisted on saying a few words at the service. They
were familiar words, but frankly they gave me a slight

(35:12):
bit of a show. The body of Una Moresby is dead,
but her.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Soul lives on.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
The soul cannot die.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
The soul is immortal.

Speaker 13 (35:24):
It has left the earthly remains of this woman and
has sought the body of a small living thing. There
it will abide until the almighty is ready to choose
its next home.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
More not the end of Una Moresby, for there is
no end.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
I couldn't help congratulating myself on how well everything had gone.
When I called for medical attention the knight of UNA's death,
the physician was only too ready to declare her suicide.
The police had to be informed, naturally, and they too
agreed with the doctor's verdict. Una had died by her
own hand, and she had died with all a will.

(36:08):
There was simply no question that the matter would be
probated in my favor. Suddenly I realized I was not
only rich, but a rich widower. What fist is open
for me? The devil look out, you stupid my goal
trying to get run over. I admit I was shaken
up by it. I mean it was sort of a coincidence,

(36:32):
you know, right after the funeral and all that, I
was very glad to be home. And guys, Skip can
be sure excuse me, yes, Pacca Cook is worried about
the raccoon, sir. The what there's been a raccoon at

(36:55):
the kitchen door all morning, and cook.

Speaker 24 (36:57):
Is badly along.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
I'm afraid.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
I tried to scare it to wear, but it keeps
turning a raccoon for heaven? Say we why don't you
just shoot it and make a coat out of it?
I was wondering if you wished me to call it
the game Warden's u uh, please Parker, do whatever you
please about it. I'm gonna take a nap, Yes, very good, sir.

(37:22):
I went upstairs at once, undressed and got into bed.
It was a warm day, and yet yet I found
myself cold. I got out the electric blanket and soon
felt very cozy. Indeed, in fact, I felt so much
better that I made a phone call. Hello, may I

(37:50):
speak to Rachel. Thank you very much, Hello Rachel, Rachel
you you probably don't even know my name, but it's
it's Morsby Richard Morseby. Oh uh, you met me at
the club numerous times. I I'm the rather distinguished looking
gentleman who sits at the table on the far right corner.

Speaker 14 (38:10):
Oh yeah, well that's not my stay.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah I know, I know it isn't, and I've always
regretted it. Frankly, I would have enjoyed my lunches at
the club even more if you observe them this and
I'm pretty bits right now. Well, but one I wanted
to find out was if you're busy this evening?

Speaker 14 (38:23):
Oh what'd you have in mind?

Speaker 1 (38:25):
Oh? Uh? Quiet dinner? Perhaps? Is that all you had
in mind?

Speaker 10 (38:30):
Well?

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Don't we just wait and see? I can pick you
up outside the club whenever you're free.

Speaker 14 (38:35):
Yeah, how I know it's too I mean, I'm I.

Speaker 18 (38:37):
I'm still not sure.

Speaker 14 (38:37):
If Shelman you are.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
I don't be sitting in the next sale Jaguar. You
think you'll recognize it? Jack, I get off at six
thirty see you?

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Then?

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yes, I was feeling very good now, very good. Indeed,
I would've drifted off into a pleasant sleep except for
one thing. For a moment I thought a bomb had
gone off in the room. Then I realized there was
nothing more than a bird. A foolish sparrow had dived
in headfirst into the blake glass window of the bedroom,

(39:15):
and now lay stunned on the carpet. I looked at
the thing, spluttering little heart, and suddenly I was struck
by a terrifying competition of my own. The dawn, the raccoon,
the bird.

Speaker 14 (39:30):
Good lord, could one of them.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Have been.

Speaker 12 (39:43):
As Una Moresby returned from the grave? Nonsense? Such things
don't really happen, but perhaps we should reserve judgment until
I returned shortly with a three.

Speaker 20 (39:57):
And now another tail of the ball unc a Kellogg's
special cap press the good, the bad and the heavy.

Speaker 11 (40:06):
Why is that cowboy wearing a ball and chain of cause?
Carrying around extra pounds to be just like trying around
a fallen chain topped them bollocks?

Speaker 1 (40:15):
What what it is he are?

Speaker 22 (40:16):
You're a special cave bread kill for a special case.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
It's remained bone, juice and coffee hot. Say done.

Speaker 14 (40:22):
I annoy you from some place.

Speaker 11 (40:24):
You probably don't recognize me with my ball and shade.
I used to be ten pounds later, but I'm getting
back that way. I exercise look and even smarter than
every meal, starting with this year special cave breakfast.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
What's a spacca?

Speaker 11 (40:35):
It's less than two hundred fort the calories is not
a hundred percent fat free and delicious.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
It's gonna help me get rid of this year fall
and chain.

Speaker 11 (40:43):
I met your horse will be glad to glast and
now the ball.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
And chain like that dust.

Speaker 16 (40:49):
Your happy ending could begin with the Killogg's Special Cave breakfast.

Speaker 14 (40:53):
That's Kallok's Special Cave.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
That's right, good night, ah. Who knows how to help
you solve your shopping problems? No Better Business Bureau knows.

Speaker 5 (41:07):
I saw this ad offering jobs to truck drivers, and
what they were really selling was a training course that
could cost me nine hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Do these schools guarantee a job when you're through with
the course. Reputable schools do not claim to guarantee jobs
to all graduates.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Who are you?

Speaker 3 (41:28):
I'm the man from your Better Business Bureau, And before.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
You make a down payment on a training school contract.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
Get the facts.

Speaker 17 (41:35):
Any contract you sign will probably make you pay for
the course without getting you a job.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
Thanks for the tip, buddy, not at all.

Speaker 8 (41:44):
That's what Better Business Bureau is up for, to help
people to get up there, do.

Speaker 12 (41:50):
You Now, Let's see if common sense has returned to

(42:12):
our hero. He's doing a sensible thing right now. He's
taking a good refreshing shower.

Speaker 8 (42:18):
Mm.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
By the time evening came, I was feeling better. All
my peculiar notions about whom this animal reincarnation seemed ludicrous
as I stood in front of the shaving there I
thought about the delicious young woman that was waiting for
me at the club. I'd admired Rachel's way with a
tray for months, but ever faithful to my wife, I

(42:44):
hadn't done more than gays from afar. But now things
were gonna be different. Yes, so is it? It's Paul's. Yes,
come in pack, It's alright. Excuse me, sir, A bit
of emergency in the kitchen. Well, what is it? A snake?

Speaker 21 (43:04):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (43:05):
What?

Speaker 17 (43:06):
Cook insists that there's a snake curled up in the
telephone work.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
That's ridiculous, Parker Cook says, it's there, mister Mordby. They
do get into the house sometimes. Tell Cook she's seeing things.
Tell her to stop nipping at the cooking sherry, and
she'll soon stop seeing snakes. Yes, sir, what was that?
I would guess it was? Cook?

Speaker 24 (43:28):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Oh, for heaven, Say go down and see to it,
Parker tresure.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
But I'm not very good with snakes, sir.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Well, what do you think I am an expert? But
that wasn't the end of it. Ten minutes later, Parker
was back upstairs, saying that snake had left the kitchen
and run into the living room. No, I suppose snakes

(43:55):
don't run, they slither. It slithered into the living room
and was now embracing still another telephone wire, obviously mistaking
it for a long lost love. But then another another
unsettling thought came into my mind.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
What if?

Speaker 15 (44:11):
The what if?

Speaker 1 (44:12):
The snake?

Speaker 19 (44:14):
No?

Speaker 1 (44:14):
No, that that was ridiculous. Hello, hi, says mister always
be Yes, who's this Rachel from the club?

Speaker 26 (44:23):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Oh, yes, Rachel?

Speaker 7 (44:25):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Listen?

Speaker 23 (44:26):
Could you make it six instead of six thady? I'll
try to sneak out a little early.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Yes, fine, I'll be as soon as I can in
the jack while right, Yes, yes, in the jack war. Listen.

Speaker 23 (44:36):
The reason I wanna leave earlier is because my husband
always picks me up at six.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Daddy, what was that?

Speaker 15 (44:42):
So? I?

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Yes?

Speaker 23 (44:43):
One of the girls I work with to tell him
to I I got another job someplace, even.

Speaker 14 (44:47):
Dear, he likes me to an extra money?

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Yes, I I see.

Speaker 24 (44:52):
So, just to make the.

Speaker 23 (44:54):
Story look good, I guess you'll have to lend me
a few dollars.

Speaker 14 (44:58):
After our day.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yes, of course, I I really do remember.

Speaker 23 (45:04):
You should you're the handsome one with a cute bald head.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
So yourself. As it happens, I have a very full
head of hair. But distressing as Rachel's telephone call was,
an even more disturbing thought intruded the snake was in
the telephone wire. What if the sake had been trying

(45:32):
to listen in on the extension phone? I I I
knew the idea was absurd, but I I couldn't help
the superstitious shiver of dread. In fact, I was so
troubled that I I decided to forego my date with
Rachel the waitress. It it it, It wouldn't matter anyway,
she she'd be angry at some man at the club

(45:52):
with a cute bald head. The next day, I I
did the only thing that he relaxed me. I went
to the beach. It proved to be an excellent idea.
I stretched out on the golden sand and let the
sun warm me. I listened to the waves beating against
the shore. I listened to the haunting cries of seagulls

(46:15):
surfling overhead. Suddenly I was aware that the gulls, which
had been hovering over the water were now hovering over me.
Instead of their cries being sad and plaintive. Now they
now they seemed menacing. I stood up hastily, But the
gulls seemed to be increasing in number. I saw their
sharp pointed beaks. They're raking claws. They were predators, of course.

(46:40):
How many times had I seen them swoop into a
dive and snatch up some poor fish out of the sea.
And there was one seat down in particular, its beady
eyes seemed to be staring at me.

Speaker 8 (46:52):
It was my imagination, of course, it wasn't the fish.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
I was a man, but just the same. But I
found myself running down the beach, running, running for dear life.
And that's that's right. Well, I know it was time
to see a doctor.

Speaker 13 (47:15):
Yes, mister Morrisey, I'm very pleased that you are a
distempered with your visits.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
I'm grateful that you're willing to see me doctor, saying
I realized that, well you you had a disappointment, a disappointment.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
I'm afraid I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
I know my wife made certain promises to you concerning
her will. I believe she mentioned some modest donation. She
wasn't in her right mind, of course. I mean when
she took those sleeping pills. Yes, it was very sad.
I trust that she has found the peace and happiness
that she saw. Frankly, that's that's what I wanted to

(47:53):
talk to you about it. I mean about about whether
you really believe that my wife is well, that that
she's some kind of animal right now. But of course
I believe it, mister Mosby. I don't merely believe.

Speaker 8 (48:06):
I'm positive when your wife passed from this world into
the next, her soul made its escape, yes.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
As I know how it goes. But what I really
like your opinion about is what sort of animal do
you think she might be? Now? I told you, mister Moresby,
we have no way of knowing. But can't you take
a guess? I mean you said it might be influenced
by a person's calmer am I calling you right?

Speaker 8 (48:34):
Yes, the kind of person she was in life may
well determine the kind of animal.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
She is now.

Speaker 8 (48:42):
Your wife was soft, your wife was gentle, Your wife
was independent the spirit.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Now what animal does that remind you of? I don't know.
I can't think.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Then go home and.

Speaker 8 (48:58):
Think about it, mister Morseby, Go home and did I
to be one with the universe?

Speaker 1 (49:09):
I went home, and I tried to be one with
the universe, and when that didn't work, I tried being
one with the bottle of Scotch. I was still in
the library, asleep in the big leather chair when I
heard the noise in the cellar. I simply had to investigate.
I looked into the cellar and found that one bad

(49:30):
blob wasn't enough for a thorough search. I found a
flashlight and went down the cellar steps. First first there
was nothing I could see, but then it was an
empty oil can. Swiftly, my my flashlight picked out the culprit.
At first, I I I. I thought it would turn

(49:52):
out to be a mouse, but instead.

Speaker 14 (49:54):
Instead it was a large white cat.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
I don't like cats.

Speaker 26 (50:03):
I never had skulking, cynical creatures.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
The beam of my flashlight hid it. The cat froze.
I saw it was an alley cat. It's it's fur shaggy,
it's its eyes baleful in the light. It was fact
and yet it was boldly too. I said, scat, but
it didn't scat. Instead, it started to walk toward me,

(50:30):
and I knew for certain what Doctor Singh had meant.
I knew for certain I was looking at the reincarnation
of my wife. As soon as that hideous corparation howled
at me, I made a cowardly dash for the solid door. Once.
Once I was on the other side, I remembered the
hunting rifle that Una had given me for Christmas. It

(50:53):
it stood unused in an upstairs closet. I found it,
I loaded it and brought it back to the cellar.
I hadn't fired a rifle since boyhood. I I stood
on the top of the stairs with my flashlight picked
out the ghostly white form of the cat.

Speaker 27 (51:13):
I put down the light, raised the weapon, and squeezed
the trigger. The report was deafening, but the recoil was worse.
My precarious balance on the top step was lost. I
felt to the bottom.

Speaker 28 (51:35):
I tried to get up again, but the pain in
my right leg was agonizing. I found out later that
it's broke, but the cat, the cat was still alive,
and it.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Was regarding me at an eye level. Now it's fur
matted with plastic dust, it's its eyes. I tried crawl
toward my fallen rifle, just such as I saw the
creature and seemed towards me.

Speaker 26 (52:05):
I screamed, Uma, and was on the rifle now grasping
it Treo quickly in my panic, my fingers touched the trigger.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
The rifle went off again.

Speaker 17 (52:27):
Well that's how Moresby ended up in the hospital, Chief
with a broken leg and a bullet in his hip,
and then he died.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
But I think he was telling the truth. You could
see it in his eyes, his silver eyes, right, his
silver eyes.

Speaker 8 (52:41):
And you really believe that the guy's wife came back
as a cat to get her revenge.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
What does it matter, It's still a good story.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
Sorry, Proudy, I can't okay it.

Speaker 17 (52:52):
Well, what if I got more details? What if I
talked to this doctor singh? If I went to the
moorsby cellar and found that cat, and what would you
do then?

Speaker 1 (53:00):
And ask her if she's missus Moresby.

Speaker 17 (53:03):
I still think it's worth a try, Chief, I tell you, why, Proudy,
what are you doing for lunch?

Speaker 1 (53:10):
I hadn't thought about it.

Speaker 8 (53:11):
Well, think about buying my lunch. You there's a pretty
good restaurant right around the corner where the Moresby's lived.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
We can get a bite there and then check out
that cellar.

Speaker 17 (53:29):
So, uh, this is where it happened and Moresby fell
from these steps when he fired that rifle.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Hey, you can still see the plaster dust where the
bullet hit.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
Yeah, I see it, but I don't see any white cat.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
It might be hiding someplace, or it might be a
figment of his imagination. I'd be so hold it. Did
you hear something? No, listen, there it is Look.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
Hm, it's a cat, right, and it looks like it
just for a hundreds.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
Supper mouse is still alive, but not for long. Look
at a squirm. He's eating it.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Yep, And there goes your mouse. Oh my god, that's
a matter. Probably never see a cat eat the mouse before?

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Chief? Did you see that mouse?

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (54:19):
I saw it, But didn't you notice something like? Why?
It's eyes? Chief? Did you ever see a mouse with
eyes like that? They were so pale blue, they were
almost silver?

Speaker 12 (54:39):
And so the cat and mouse game comes to an end.
But according to doctor Singh, there is no end. Perhaps
Richard Moresby will have his turn next in another afterlife.
I'll be back in a few moments.
