Speaker 1 (00:00):
Will you give a few seconds of your time to
help win this war? Then listen At Stealingrad. The other day,
a musty tank unit attacked a corps of Russian soldiers.
The Russians tried to start the tanks and fought until
their guns were silenced.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Then did they surrender? Did they retreat?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Eighteen of them rushed forward with bombs in their hands,
got under the tanks and blew them up. They gave
their lives for their country. You and I are not
asked to give our lives for ours. All we're asked
to do is buy war bonds and stamps. Our American
soldiers are giving their lives for us each day, more
and more of them every day. Can we do less
(00:38):
than loan our money to them? It's such a simple
easy thing to do. Out of every dollar you earn,
lend one dime to your country. Do it regularly by
joining the ten percent club where you work, and do
it now. Our soldiers need your help.

(02:01):
Tonight's story deals with the remote and dangerous house and
the terrifying thing that happened there because the rain went
on for days and days. It deals with a surgeon and.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
A girl, a giant, and a young.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Man who took a long chance, and over them all
the moan of the night wind and the ceaseless roar
of the storm. For your suspenseful listening, we invite you
to learn.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
About the Tatler methods.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Four days of rain.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
They've been ceaseless, teaming, pouring with a steady, relentless rhythm,
four solidly. The fields around Coulston had been turned into
huge puddles that reflected the heavy, swollen sky, and doctor
Morrissey was stirred by a deep anxiety. He stood beside
a window in his sanitarium, which.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Rolls high on a lonely hill a few miles.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
From the little town of Coulston, and stared under the jagged,
spraying screen of rain. There's just three o'clock, three o'clock
with an afternoon he would long remember he was on
the point a standing for Kaffrey, the war attendant. When
the door opened because Kaffrey came in pale disturbed, Doctor Morrissey.
(03:39):
Is there anything wrong Caffrey? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
There's a feeling down in the ward, feeling his rain's
gone on too long. The patient's getting uneasy and they're
bound through, ain't they If a guy with good nerves
he gets jumpy, can imagine what it does to theirs.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Seem to be affecting anyone in particular. Number five has
been carrying on TETA.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yeah, I brought him up.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Nurse Carter is waiting with him out in the hall.
Out of that. He's upsetting the others. He's asking for
some guy named Benham. That's the man he killed. I
didn't know he was over sidled.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh, it was an accident. He was performing a brain
set round Benham and him.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Oh. Kettler was a very important surgeon. Temprey. Didn't you
know that? He keeps saying so, But it's perfectly true.
Very successful.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Doctor Kettler was until he perfected an operative procedure. But
he called the Kettler methan, a new process of brain operation.
Spent most of his life on it and well when
he tried it for the first time on this young
lady Benham, and Denham died on the table.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It unbalanced his mind. I've got to go back down
there now. I think you'd better wait while I talk
with Kettler. Okay, I'll bring him in, but don't make
it long. I don't like the feel of things around here,
Nurse miss Carter. Yes, you can bring him in.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Now, come along, doctor Mars who wants to see you?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Jersey?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Now, Kelsey, come in, Kettler. I'd like to ask doctor
Morrissey a question. I'd like to ask him a question. Yes, Kittler,
I should like to ask him where Laird Venom is.
I know he'll never tell me, but I widdle, Kittler.
Lad Venom is buried somewhere out there on the rain.
(05:16):
He is a peace Kittler. Doan't you forget about him?
Just forget? He would all like me to forget about him,
wouldn't you? And you could keep him get away forever,
couldn't you. Venim is dead, Kitler. You know that Venham died.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
He did not.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
He's alive. He was alive when you and the rest
of the envious medical profession, stole him the operating table,
kidnap him with my bandages still around his head. You
were determined to make the Kitler methods emopaedia. Weren't you?
Weren't you? Believe me? Kitler is now Dr Morrissey. He's
in the cellar under the war downstairs. Isn't he Hitler?
(05:54):
You see? Oh, you'd better take him down, Kiffrey, all along,
I'll take a this. You won't show them to me,
even though it would make me well again. My fellas
are empty. Kettler, believe me. Venom isn't there who should
turn in power and order me away? A man? Kettler,
There's something I have to say. I've always been above violence,
(06:16):
Doctor Morrissey, but the time comes when there's no other costs.
This is a warning, doctor, a warning, and the joke
is that you won't hear a man with you won't
heed it now, but you'll remember it, and soon you'll
remember it. Table's turned, Dr Morrison. Table's turn, ha ha,
(06:41):
poor things. I'm afraid I'm failing with him, failing completely.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
You're not. It takes time to put a man back together.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It's take me too long with Kettle. I'm beginning to
be afraid if your.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Pardon me, doctor, Yes, I do think you're making a mistake.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
With him, No, with yourself.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
You haven't had a real vacation in three years, doctor Marcy.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Oh, you think I'm wearing a bit things just now,
don't you. Ain't You're right, but I really can't leave
my patience in anyone else's hands, not now at any rate.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
No, I'll have to make the dist But you need relaxation.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I know, I know well.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I hope to sue my ragged nurse so much over
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I have some friends coming down from the city Friday night.
Let's layn't play with me, young married couple really way,
and I'm just going to relax for them and forget
everything until Monday morning.

sample vantages.
Speaker 2 (07:36):

Speaker 6 (07:39):
I think they're quite good. The salesman said it, yes.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Noes, what is it?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Did you hear something?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Thunder?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Wasn't it something else beside Sunday? I thought it.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I didn't hear it.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
My nerves might be getting the best of it. Perhaps
it's the case of nurse heel thyself.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'm not the hell anyone who needs a race. You know,
it might be a very good idea if we both Mary,
I heard this coming from the wards down that was
the shop. You get on the phone, call the police
of coast, you know, you know, keep keep that someone
(08:25):
trying to get him from the hall. Hefrey just a moment,

Remember it to Heyables turned doctor Morrison, Tables.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Turns it rained for three more days.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Friday night came black, wet and glistening. The eight Fifteene
Expressed roamed into Coulton Stations, bringing Leslie and Claire Wesley
out from the city with their weekend.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Bluddie is doctor mow Is he sending his car? Wars Leslie?
Speaker 7 (09:50):
Yes, Brair the chauffeur was supposed to drives over to
the sanitarium to pick up the dock and then we're all.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Going over his own ar.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Don't see any card you, I don't see anything but water.
Maybe we're rolling over in a skill.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Oh oh, I hate that sound like somebody's an agony.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I think you're a little depressed.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Yeah, I shouldn't be surprised. I head still aching dreadfully.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Poor lover.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
How long has that been going on?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Now?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Almost a week? It frightens me.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't think it's anything serious.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Waiting in the rain like this doesn't do it any good.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I'm sure I don't understand. Docs.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Here is Julisa tonctual right on the dot. You don't
suppose we ought to call a sanitary.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
People or doctor Morrisey?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Good? Well, uh, yes, yes we're the Wintons. Doc sent
you to pick us up.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
I kido doctor Morrisey's chauffeur. You got lugged?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yes, here it is.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I think you follow me to car.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Un We're coming. Yes.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Yes, he's tremendous, isn't it. He must be six and
a happy tool.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I'm over six myself, Dony, he's nearer eight. That's a giant.
Get those shoulders. He could snap me in two like
a mastick.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
I hope he likes it, so do I.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Light of my life?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Oh waiting you count me?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
But I really don't think he does. Umming. The heavy
car lurched and hurtled over the rainsaf roads, very wildly,
(11:43):
through the dark and greening up the hillside towards the
stark walls of the sanitarium. Skidded to a standstill in
front of the main entrance, and cold black Tato led
them inside. The brightly lit corridors were deserted, silent, like
always in a nightmare. Claire was aware of her headache
growing steadily worse as Cato opened the double doors and
(12:06):
ushered them into the waiting room. You'll tell doctor Morrissey
we're here.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Huh, Doctor be with you soon.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You do not go away? Yes, yes, thanks.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
I hope we're not staying in here very long.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
It isn't very cheery, is it.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I don't like places like this. I suppose it's very
foolish of me, but I always feel as if I'm
in some sort of danger.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That's the headache again.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Everything seems worse than it really is when you're not
feeling well. Don't you always friendly?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yes? Listen, somebody's knocking just a moment. Who does your
Sunday horse? I don't know, but you do not know me?
How am my tool? Anybody is of American Be honest,
you have heard of me.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
Sure, I've heard of Urchuo Alvarez, but I'd hardly expect
to find him.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Oh, of course, for a moment I.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Forgot what I was.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I've heard of you, mister Alvarez. Is there anything I
can do for you? Will you help me? I must
get out of this place. Oh sure, I came here
several days ago to be cheated for a mild nervous trouble. No, no,
they won't let me go. I am being held a prisoner,
and tonight I am schedule to give a punsert to
Carnegy Hall, and I must get out of here. Please,
(13:34):
will you help me number ten out of the war? Again?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
I see how many times must I tell you?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
That is strictly against the rules. If I was doing
nothing with Rome, I was only telling this gentleman that
I must get Carnegie Hole for my country. Yes, yes,
I'm sure the gentleman was very interested.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Hey, kto Eskato, you.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Will escort number ten back to the war and see
to it that he doesn't wander back into the waiting room.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
No, no, I would not be taking back to the ward.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Help me.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
No, no, how strongly he believes in his delusion strange
fantasy of a diseased mind, dosly believes.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That he's out to allow that. He was telling me,
I'm very sorry. I'm afraid I haven't been very cordial.
Won't you sit down?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Is there anything I can do for you?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Well? You see doctor Morrissey invited this up for the weekend.
Oh yes, of course, he told me he was expecting you.
Does he know we're here? I'm afraid not. Dr Morrissey
was unexpected. They called away on an emergency case. I'm
in charge of the sanitarium until he returned.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Do you have any idea about then?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That will be It's very hard to say. However, he
asked me to ask you to wait and see to
it that you're made comfortable. You see how Your name
is Winton, Leslie Winton, and this is my wife player.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yes, let me people introduce myself.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I'm doctor Kettler, doctor Morrissey's assistant.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
A bit of food or a drink? Perhaps? I don't
think so.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
There's nothing in the world I want so much as
an desper.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yes, doctor, she's had a headache that's been troubling her
for days. It's terribly annoying. I can well imagine annoying
and interesting, that is true a man of my profession,
of course, But if he was stepped into the inner office,
I think I can offer you something a good deal
more effective.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Oh, I hate to trouble you, no trouble at all.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I find these things most intriguing. Should I levelie, I
think you might as well. Morrissey won't be back for
a long time. By the looks of things, You're quite right,
mister Winton. Doctor Morrissey won't.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Be back for a long long time.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Well, then which way do I go?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Write? This way?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
The large door on your deck.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
You won't mind waiting alone with your darling old mister
Winton shall make him so comfortable. There are cigarettes in
the box whiskey, and the liquor cabinets have no radio.
Behind the ferns there, I'm sure he will be quite
happy after you, missus whitt.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
If doctor Morrissey comes in, let me know, I.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Hope you'll find everything you want, sir. Thanks.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
By the way, doctor is you said you had something
better than aspering. I didn't know there was anything better
than aspering for a headache.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I have something, mister Linton. Really, there's a process which
I invented myself, one that never fails. A little treatment,
very effective, a highly complicated called the Kettler method. Please
make yourself at homes to win. Leslie sat there alone
(16:31):
in the.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Big waiting room for a while.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Then cries began setting in and he thought to himself,
maybe I'll have that drink after all. He rose and
went over to the liquor cabinet that Keffer had pointed
out to him and opened it. There's nothing in here
but books as books, books that.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Were so thick with dust that it was clear they
had been there for months.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
No drink for Leslie. Maybe a cigarette, Kettla said, The
box was full. He picked it up and started opening.
Why there isn't even a cigarette box? That's daring things?
A bookend.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yes, that's just what it was.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Leslie began to think it was a tough job making
himself at home in that waiting room. Then the idea
of God join. Maybe the radio works.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
He went over to the radio, then.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Turned it on. And we are sorry to announce that
the program schedule for this time from Connegie Hall has
been canceled due to the mysterious disappearance of Arturo Alvarez.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
That note to South American be honest.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Mister Alvarez was known to be suffering from a minor
nervous disorder, and was last scene departing on a short
trip to Colston in upstate Neupe Alvarez. That guy is Alvarez?
What's going on here? There?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
There?
Speaker 2 (17:51):

Speaker 2 (18:20):
No, he right? Thanks? Where can you hear me? Can
you hear me? Of course you can hear your mister Wintley,
operating table is just inside the door.
Speaker 5 (18:30):

Speaker 2 (18:31):
I tell you cant but I find that an operation
is indicated. Mister Winner, I forbid you to touch you,
forbid you. I've a charge here. No one forbids me.
Do you understand her? And saying you're If you lay
your hands on her, I'll kill you, so help me.
I'll kill you very well. Mister Winton, you do not
wish me to operate that's all there is to it.
I would scarcely puce my surfs on. However, the girl's
(18:55):

my boy, a master stroke. Ha ha. Do you still
forbid me? Mister Winton? Do you do you? Oh? You

still hours of the night, while I sure the young
lady's headache unmoreisted. You've got to pull yourself together, leslie out, try,
(19:40):
try to think. And Cato brought you down a few
months ago. You was gonna hit him ahead, can you remember? Yes?
I was talking to Kittler trained and make him let

got her tito, she's gone that operating table up there.
We've got to do something. We've got to do so,
(20:00):
but I'm afraid there's not much we can do. I've
been here for three days and nights had happened. Ah
taus a Knight may come to life. I've had Kittler
in my office for treatment. Here he was off on
a wild tingent, insisting that I had a man whom
he had killed hidden down here in the cellar, that
I am, the rest of the medical profession had kidnapped
him off the operating table with his head still swathe.
(20:20):
He thinks I've been keeping this statum from him all along,
even though I've known that just one side of him,
which cures mental disoffice. He hates me with every five
rub his twisted brain. It's a dangerous case lately, Phil.
He'll kill Claire.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
He may.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
There's no chance he won't. Quite. All the surgical instruments
are locked away. It's possible they may not be able
to find fist there any way we can get out
of here, and I've used it. Where does that corridor
they do for the staircase that goes to the first law, Well,
not a chance comes out of the operating room, and
they keep that door locked as tight as a ground. Besides,
Kittler still has the this leader for my nurse. I've
(20:55):
got to think, I've got to and my head hurts,
so I can't my good send. Let's say that I
think they gave you an asty cut. Oh it doesn't matter,
say Doc's yes, what was his name? Who the guy
Ketler thought you were keeping from him, the.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
One he killed ben him they had been him?

slender chest? Say, doc, do you have any bandages down here?
Fust bandages?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Why? Yes, I think so.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
They're straw down enough to bandage my whole head, face
and everything. Why I might have a chance of getting
through that door up there.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
See, let me go, now, let me go, leslie, lastly,
you will be better, so much better. I will take
the pain away. Missus Winton? Tato have you found the
surgical case? I follow yet by look taytold long findings.

due at the mardulous old instrument. You have, doctor, because
my mother, this old house has been in a family
the generation.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Who ever thought we'd be alive to sit in your
house and listen to somebody play a cancer though.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
We wouldn't have been. At least I wouldn't have been
if you hadn't snatched that revolver off the table, right
out from under Kepper's nose before they threw the end
of the cellar. That was the light saber. Hey, the
weekend perfect. I'm afraid it wasn't very RESTful hereafter I'm
spending all weekends in a cozy little corner under the

M
Will you give a few seconds of your time to
help win this war? Then listen At Stealingrad. The other day,
a musty tank unit attacked a corps of Russian soldiers.
The Russians tried to start the tanks and fought until
their guns were silenced.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Then did they surrender? Did they retreat?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Eighteen of them rushed forward with bombs in their hands,
got under the tanks and blew them up. They gave
their lives for their country. You and I are not
asked to give our lives for ours. All we're asked
to do is buy war bonds and stamps. Our American
soldiers are giving their lives for us each day, more
and more of them every day. Can we do less
(00:38):
than loan our money to them? It's such a simple
easy thing to do. Out of every dollar you earn,
lend one dime to your country. Do it regularly by
joining the ten percent club where you work, and do
it now. Our soldiers need your help.

(02:01):
Tonight's story deals with the remote and dangerous house and
the terrifying thing that happened there because the rain went
on for days and days. It deals with a surgeon and.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
A girl, a giant, and a young.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Man who took a long chance, and over them all
the moan of the night wind and the ceaseless roar
of the storm. For your suspenseful listening, we invite you
to learn.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
About the Tatler methods.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Four days of rain.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
They've been ceaseless, teaming, pouring with a steady, relentless rhythm,
four solidly. The fields around Coulston had been turned into
huge puddles that reflected the heavy, swollen sky, and doctor
Morrissey was stirred by a deep anxiety. He stood beside
a window in his sanitarium, which.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Rolls high on a lonely hill a few miles.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
From the little town of Coulston, and stared under the jagged,
spraying screen of rain. There's just three o'clock, three o'clock
with an afternoon he would long remember he was on
the point a standing for Kaffrey, the war attendant. When
the door opened because Kaffrey came in pale disturbed, Doctor Morrissey.
(03:39):
Is there anything wrong Caffrey? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
There's a feeling down in the ward, feeling his rain's
gone on too long. The patient's getting uneasy and they're
bound through, ain't they If a guy with good nerves
he gets jumpy, can imagine what it does to theirs.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Seem to be affecting anyone in particular. Number five has
been carrying on TETA.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yeah, I brought him up.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Nurse Carter is waiting with him out in the hall.
Out of that. He's upsetting the others. He's asking for
some guy named Benham. That's the man he killed. I
didn't know he was over sidled.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh, it was an accident. He was performing a brain
set round Benham and him.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Oh. Kettler was a very important surgeon. Temprey. Didn't you
know that? He keeps saying so, But it's perfectly true.
Very successful.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Doctor Kettler was until he perfected an operative procedure. But
he called the Kettler methan, a new process of brain operation.
Spent most of his life on it and well when
he tried it for the first time on this young
lady Benham, and Denham died on the table.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It unbalanced his mind. I've got to go back down
there now. I think you'd better wait while I talk
with Kettler. Okay, I'll bring him in, but don't make
it long. I don't like the feel of things around here,
Nurse miss Carter. Yes, you can bring him in.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Now, come along, doctor Mars who wants to see you?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Jersey?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Now, Kelsey, come in, Kettler. I'd like to ask doctor
Morrissey a question. I'd like to ask him a question. Yes, Kittler,
I should like to ask him where Laird Venom is.
I know he'll never tell me, but I widdle, Kittler.
Lad Venom is buried somewhere out there on the rain.
(05:16):
He is a peace Kittler. Doan't you forget about him?
Just forget? He would all like me to forget about him,
wouldn't you? And you could keep him get away forever,
couldn't you. Venim is dead, Kitler. You know that Venham died.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
He did not.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
He's alive. He was alive when you and the rest
of the envious medical profession, stole him the operating table,
kidnap him with my bandages still around his head. You
were determined to make the Kitler methods emopaedia. Weren't you?
Weren't you? Believe me? Kitler is now Dr Morrissey. He's
in the cellar under the war downstairs. Isn't he Hitler?
(05:54):
You see? Oh, you'd better take him down, Kiffrey, all along,
I'll take a this. You won't show them to me,
even though it would make me well again. My fellas
are empty. Kettler, believe me. Venom isn't there who should
turn in power and order me away? A man? Kettler,
There's something I have to say. I've always been above violence,
(06:16):
Doctor Morrissey, but the time comes when there's no other costs.
This is a warning, doctor, a warning, and the joke
is that you won't hear a man with you won't
heed it now, but you'll remember it, and soon you'll
remember it. Table's turned, Dr Morrison. Table's turn, ha ha,
(06:41):
poor things. I'm afraid I'm failing with him, failing completely.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
You're not. It takes time to put a man back together.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It's take me too long with Kettle. I'm beginning to
be afraid if your.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Pardon me, doctor, Yes, I do think you're making a mistake.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
With him, No, with yourself.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
You haven't had a real vacation in three years, doctor Marcy.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Oh, you think I'm wearing a bit things just now,
don't you. Ain't You're right, but I really can't leave
my patience in anyone else's hands, not now at any rate.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
No, I'll have to make the dist But you need relaxation.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I know, I know well.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I hope to sue my ragged nurse so much over
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I have some friends coming down from the city Friday night.
Let's layn't play with me, young married couple really way,
and I'm just going to relax for them and forget
everything until Monday morning.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
You must, doctor, you do need it so badly. Oh
by the way, doctor, I said, some hraw those new
sample vantages.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Into your coult pocket. Pray. Thanks. I never look at them.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I think they're quite good. The salesman said it, yes.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Noes, what is it?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Did you hear something?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Thunder?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Wasn't it something else beside Sunday? I thought it.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I didn't hear it.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
My nerves might be getting the best of it. Perhaps
it's the case of nurse heel thyself.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'm not the hell anyone who needs a race. You know,
it might be a very good idea if we both Mary,
I heard this coming from the wards down that was
the shop. You get on the phone, call the police
of coast, you know, you know, keep keep that someone
(08:25):
trying to get him from the hall. Hefrey just a moment,
Henry Heppy, what is its up with me? Follow them

(08:46):
Nurse He's dead, isn't it? Yester morn Ketler, remember my warning?
Remember it to Heyables turned doctor Morrison, Tables.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Turns it rained for three more days.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Friday night came black, wet and glistening. The eight Fifteene
Expressed roamed into Coulton Stations, bringing Leslie and Claire Wesley
out from the city with their weekend.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Bluddie is doctor mow Is he sending his car? Wars Leslie?
Speaker 7 (09:50):
Yes, Brair the chauffeur was supposed to drives over to
the sanitarium to pick up the dock and then we're all.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Going over his own ar.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Don't see any card you, I don't see anything but water.
Maybe we're rolling over in a skill.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Oh oh, I hate that sound like somebody's an agony.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I think you're a little depressed.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Yeah, I shouldn't be surprised. I head still aching dreadfully.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Poor lover.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
How long has that been going on?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Now?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Almost a week? It frightens me.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't think it's anything serious.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Waiting in the rain like this doesn't do it any good.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I'm sure I don't understand. Docs.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Here is Julisa tonctual right on the dot. You don't
suppose we ought to call a sanitary.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
People or doctor Morrisey?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Good? Well, uh, yes, yes we're the Wintons. Doc sent
you to pick us up.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
I kido doctor Morrisey's chauffeur. You got lugged?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yes, here it is.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I think you follow me to car.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Un We're coming. Yes.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Yes, he's tremendous, isn't it. He must be six and
a happy tool.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I'm over six myself, Dony, he's nearer eight. That's a giant.
Get those shoulders. He could snap me in two like
a mastick.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
I hope he likes it, so do I.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Light of my life?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Oh waiting you count me?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
But I really don't think he does. Umming. The heavy
car lurched and hurtled over the rainsaf roads, very wildly,
(11:43):
through the dark and greening up the hillside towards the
stark walls of the sanitarium. Skidded to a standstill in
front of the main entrance, and cold black Tato led
them inside. The brightly lit corridors were deserted, silent, like
always in a nightmare. Claire was aware of her headache
growing steadily worse as Cato opened the double doors and
(12:06):
ushered them into the waiting room. You'll tell doctor Morrissey
we're here.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Huh, Doctor be with you soon.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You do not go away? Yes, yes, thanks.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
I hope we're not staying in here very long.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
It isn't very cheery, is it.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I don't like places like this. I suppose it's very
foolish of me, but I always feel as if I'm
in some sort of danger.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That's the headache again.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Everything seems worse than it really is when you're not
feeling well. Don't you always friendly?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yes? Listen, somebody's knocking just a moment. Who does your
Sunday horse? I don't know, but you do not know me?
How am my tool? Anybody is of American Be honest,
you have heard of me.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
Sure, I've heard of Urchuo Alvarez, but I'd hardly expect
to find him.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Oh, of course, for a moment I.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Forgot what I was.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I've heard of you, mister Alvarez. Is there anything I
can do for you? Will you help me? I must
get out of this place. Oh sure, I came here
several days ago to be cheated for a mild nervous trouble. No, no,
they won't let me go. I am being held a prisoner,
and tonight I am schedule to give a punsert to
Carnegy Hall, and I must get out of here. Please,
(13:34):
will you help me number ten out of the war? Again?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
I see how many times must I tell you?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
That is strictly against the rules. If I was doing
nothing with Rome, I was only telling this gentleman that
I must get Carnegie Hole for my country. Yes, yes,
I'm sure the gentleman was very interested.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Hey, kto Eskato, you.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Will escort number ten back to the war and see
to it that he doesn't wander back into the waiting room.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
No, no, I would not be taking back to the ward.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Help me.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
No, no, how strongly he believes in his delusion strange
fantasy of a diseased mind, dosly believes.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That he's out to allow that. He was telling me,
I'm very sorry. I'm afraid I haven't been very cordial.
Won't you sit down?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Is there anything I can do for you?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Well? You see doctor Morrissey invited this up for the weekend.
Oh yes, of course, he told me he was expecting you.
Does he know we're here? I'm afraid not. Dr Morrissey
was unexpected. They called away on an emergency case. I'm
in charge of the sanitarium until he returned.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Do you have any idea about then?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That will be It's very hard to say. However, he
asked me to ask you to wait and see to
it that you're made comfortable. You see how Your name
is Winton, Leslie Winton, and this is my wife player.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yes, let me people introduce myself.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I'm doctor Kettler, doctor Morrissey's assistant.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
A bit of food or a drink? Perhaps? I don't
think so.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
There's nothing in the world I want so much as
an desper.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yes, doctor, she's had a headache that's been troubling her
for days. It's terribly annoying. I can well imagine annoying
and interesting, that is true a man of my profession,
of course, But if he was stepped into the inner office,
I think I can offer you something a good deal
more effective.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Oh, I hate to trouble you, no trouble at all.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I find these things most intriguing. Should I levelie, I
think you might as well. Morrissey won't be back for
a long time. By the looks of things, You're quite right,
mister Winton. Doctor Morrissey won't.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Be back for a long long time.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Well, then which way do I go?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Write? This way?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
The large door on your deck.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
You won't mind waiting alone with your darling old mister
Winton shall make him so comfortable. There are cigarettes in
the box whiskey, and the liquor cabinets have no radio.
Behind the ferns there, I'm sure he will be quite
happy after you, missus whitt.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
If doctor Morrissey comes in, let me know, I.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Hope you'll find everything you want, sir. Thanks.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
By the way, doctor is you said you had something
better than aspering. I didn't know there was anything better
than aspering for a headache.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I have something, mister Linton. Really, there's a process which
I invented myself, one that never fails. A little treatment,
very effective, a highly complicated called the Kettler method. Please
make yourself at homes to win. Leslie sat there alone
(16:31):
in the.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Big waiting room for a while.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Then cries began setting in and he thought to himself,
maybe I'll have that drink after all. He rose and
went over to the liquor cabinet that Keffer had pointed
out to him and opened it. There's nothing in here
but books as books, books that.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Were so thick with dust that it was clear they
had been there for months.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
No drink for Leslie. Maybe a cigarette, Kettla said, The
box was full. He picked it up and started opening.
Why there isn't even a cigarette box? That's daring things?
A bookend.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yes, that's just what it was.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Leslie began to think it was a tough job making
himself at home in that waiting room. Then the idea
of God join. Maybe the radio works.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
He went over to the radio, then.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Turned it on. And we are sorry to announce that
the program schedule for this time from Connegie Hall has
been canceled due to the mysterious disappearance of Arturo Alvarez.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
That note to South American be honest.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Mister Alvarez was known to be suffering from a minor
nervous disorder, and was last scene departing on a short
trip to Colston in upstate Neupe Alvarez. That guy is Alvarez?
What's going on here? There?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
There?
Speaker 2 (17:51):

Speaker 2 (18:20):
No, he right? Thanks? Where can you hear me? Can
you hear me? Of course you can hear your mister Wintley,
operating table is just inside the door.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Bring her out here, let her go.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I tell you cant but I find that an operation
is indicated. Mister Winner, I forbid you to touch you,
forbid you. I've a charge here. No one forbids me.
Do you understand her? And saying you're If you lay
your hands on her, I'll kill you, so help me.
I'll kill you very well. Mister Winton, you do not
wish me to operate that's all there is to it.
I would scarcely puce my surfs on. However, the girl's
(18:55):
condition is punt serious and I a good work, good work, kido,
my boy, a master stroke. Ha ha. Do you still
forbid me? Mister Winton? Do you do you? Oh? You
don't answer? Good? It's good. Take it to the son.
Keeper would imagine there with his friend doctor Morrison. They
should have a good deal to walk over in the
(19:16):
still hours of the night, while I sure the young
lady's headache unmoreisted. You've got to pull yourself together, leslie out, try,
(19:40):
try to think. And Cato brought you down a few
months ago. You was gonna hit him ahead, can you remember? Yes?
I was talking to Kittler trained and make him let
clear go? Oh good, Lord morrisey, where is she? He's
got her tito, she's gone that operating table up there.
We've got to do something. We've got to do so,
(20:00):
but I'm afraid there's not much we can do. I've
been here for three days and nights had happened. Ah
taus a Knight may come to life. I've had Kittler
in my office for treatment. Here he was off on
a wild tingent, insisting that I had a man whom
he had killed hidden down here in the cellar, that
I am, the rest of the medical profession had kidnapped
him off the operating table with his head still swathe.
(20:20):
He thinks I've been keeping this statum from him all along,
even though I've known that just one side of him,
which cures mental disoffice. He hates me with every five
rub his twisted brain. It's a dangerous case lately, Phil.
He'll kill Claire.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
He may.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
There's no chance he won't. Quite. All the surgical instruments
are locked away. It's possible they may not be able
to find fist there any way we can get out
of here, and I've used it. Where does that corridor
they do for the staircase that goes to the first law, Well,
not a chance comes out of the operating room, and
they keep that door locked as tight as a ground. Besides,
Kittler still has the this leader for my nurse. I've
(20:55):
got to think, I've got to and my head hurts,
so I can't my good send. Let's say that I
think they gave you an asty cut. Oh it doesn't matter,
say Doc's yes, what was his name? Who the guy
Ketler thought you were keeping from him, the.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
One he killed ben him they had been him?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Why was he a young house Yes, sir, rather tall
slender chest? Say, doc, do you have any bandages down here?
Fust bandages?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Why? Yes, I think so.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
They're straw down enough to bandage my whole head, face
and everything. Why I might have a chance of getting
through that door up there.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
See, let me go, now, let me go, leslie, lastly,
you will be better, so much better. I will take
the pain away. Missus Winton? Tato have you found the
surgical case? I follow yet by look taytold long findings.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
We must not keep missus Winton in agony?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Find did I pay?
Speaker 5 (21:59):
You'll have to create more in this place.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I want my instrument to hand on a moment's notice.
Let me go, let me go.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
You shall be well again, my dear.
