Speaker 2 (00:05):
Paul Demoichamp Balzac, These great writers of horror stories live on.
Listen to the weird Circle, Out.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Of the past, phantoms of a world gone by, speak again,
the immortal tale the Lifted. There A certain doctor Miniere
was working in the experimental laboratory of his office when
young Latimer Heming dropped in to see him. The two
(00:52):
friends smiled genially at each other. Then Latimer suddenly started
pacing nervously up and down the length.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Of the room. I don't know why I came to you, doctor.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
You're the last person in the world i'd expect to
believe in psychic phenomena. I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
What's bothering you? A lot of man? Well, it's it's
also incredible. Frankly, I don't expect you to believe me.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Why don't you stop facing the floor, sit down quietly
in a chair and tell me the whole story here?
Sit down here. Well, I had a vision, a premonition,
a warning. The veil of the future lifted, and I
saw into it. Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah, I'm sure. No, I'm not insane.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
There's never been any insanity in my family, asked my father.
He'll tell you that the Hemmings are constitutionally solid as
a rock. Yes, yes, I know. Uh, tell me more
about this lifting of the veil, this premonition. Well, the
first time it occurred was about three years ago, shortly
before Bertha and I were married. The first time, et Latimer, Yes,
(02:05):
it's well, it's recurring, it it it, It comes.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Again and again.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh, I'll go on.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well, I I see the face of a woman. She's
lying in bed. Her her face is a death mask.
M you choose nice visions, now, please don't make fun
of it. Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well, anyway, suddenly the woman sits upright in bed, points
an accusing finger at me and says, you killed one
man and you'll kill.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Another, And then, laughing hysterically, she falls back into bed.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Mm and then what happens, you know? Then the vision
becomes hazy and disappears. Now, don't tell me I've been
working too hard. I've never done an honest day's work
in my life. I'd say forget the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yes, that's what I was afraid of. I've been trying
to dismiss it from my mind, doctor mnire. But well,
the other day.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
The other day, my wife higher than you maid, the
person by the name of Archer Bernard. What's so extraordinary
about that?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
She has the exact same face as the face in
my vision? A perfect replica. Oh what'll I do? Doctor?
Shall I?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Shall I tell Bertha? Shall I force her to discharge
the maid?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
You know how practical Bertha is. She'll think I've lost
my mind, Yes she will.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I don't know how to advise you, Latimer, But if
this Archer girl frightens your peace of mind, there's only
one thing to do.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
You mean, dismiss her?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yes, but I wouldn't tell Bertha the real reason. Any
excuse will do. Yes, of course, don't make an issue
out of it, Latimer. Women get stubborn at times, as
how well.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I know that, er doctor.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Would you do me a favor for I certainly you're
a good friend of Inspector Kane at headquarters.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Would you have him do a little checking up on Archer? Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yes, no harm in investigating a woman. I suppose stranger
visions than this one of yours. My boy, I have
come to my attention. Well, I'll see you at dinner tonight.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
At dinner. Yes, your wife invited me.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Oh, and frankly, I'm rather curious to see this new maid,
Archer Bernard myself.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Oh, good night, doctor, and thanks, thanks tremendously Archer.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Archer. Yes, answer the doorbell, will you, of course, right away?
And madam, good evening, mister Hemming.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Oh, good evening, Archer. I'm sorry I forgot my keys.
Is my wife in in the living room, sir, Oh,
thank you. Hello, darling, I'm sorry I'm so late.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You are late, letters, shame on you still be guessed
at dinner this evening? What kept you so long?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
I had dropped by doctor in the aren't.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
You feeling well?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
No, not too well, poor pet. Is my father coming
over the scene.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yes, and please be nice to him.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I'll be charming to him, that is, if you'll just
stop trying to run my entire life for me.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You can't really blame him, Latimer. If he's impatient to
become a grandfather.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't mind wishful thinking, but he's pretty insistent on
my having a son.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Just keep humoring him. After all, he's worked hard all
his life and built up a large fortune. He just
wants to be sure there'll be heirs to carry on
the name.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Bertha is what is it?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Dear?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
You know that new maid archer? I ought to know.
I hired her, Berth, Whether I wish you'd get somebody
else in her place? She she's incompetent.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I find her exceedingly capable.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
She's impudent.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Well, I'll talk to her about.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
It, please, Bertha, if you don't mind, I just as
leave you did, Darling.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
If you had any idea how much trouble I've gone
to to get well, any kind of help it all out? Yeah,
you'd realize what a perfect gem marcher. You concentrate on
your father and let me worry about the servants.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Patty.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yes, but I won't hear another word about it, last mink. Now,
go upstairs and get dressed. Your father and the doctor
will be here within the hour, and if you're not prumped,
your father will take out his temper on me.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
So hurry, dear, please, I won't be long.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Hurry, dear, you always thought of so long?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Oh hurry. I wonder perhaps if I told Birth of
the truth.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Maybe it's all in my mind anyway, But the provision,
the premonitions so recurrent. I might try talking to the
girl myself. Oh no, that wouldn't be right.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
What are you doing in this room, marcher?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I uh uh?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Will I well you what?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I was just straightening up a bit.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I thought you straightened my room this morning.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It needed straightening again, or did it?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Indeed? I found it quite an order after you through
the first time. And what's this that? This package?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Give it to me, sir?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I almost forcocious?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Oh no, no, no, don't ratis? Please? Why will I poison?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yes, rat poison?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
What for rats in the basement?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Your wife asked me to get it? She did.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Well, this isn't the basement of art, I know, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
I take that.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Rat poison and stay out of.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
My room, yes, sir, Sorry, sir, I.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Wonder, I wonder, aren't you Brenard Face in my dream?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
My evil genius. I'm sorry. I'm late, father, awfully sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I warned him not to be late.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Then, lad of I has never been on time for
anything in his life.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I speak with authority. Sorry, father, I'm sorry. Hello, doctor, your.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Wife has been entertaining us very well in your absence, Latimer,
do you think so, doctor, I'm sure of it, My dear,
you've more charm than the law allows.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Anyway, you are nice doctor. Sometimes though, I think you're
afraid of me?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
What's this? What's this? Doctor? Afraid of my daughter in law?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Nonsense? Complete nonsense. But it was only joking, joking? Why
what was funny about it? I'm sorry if I don't
see the point. We Hemmings have always had a very
highly developed sense of humor.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Constitutionally speaking, anyway, what I don't hardly hear you?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Dinner is served, Missus Hemmings.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Thank you, Archer, welcome along all of you. I think
we need a new topic of conversation.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yes, obviously, Bretha, I'm sure father.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
U sit next to me, Dad, doctor over here, thank you,
and you're at the foot of the table, Latimer.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Such as when ever the husband's last? What? What do
you know? Doctor?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Minere We've been hearing a lot about you lately in
the village.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Ah, that's why I've been invited over this evening. Your
feminine curiosity has been aroused.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Eh, frankly, yes, about what?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Doctor?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
About what Missus Hemming is curious? I think about the
experiments I've been performing.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
What experiments are those?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Well, I've been experimenting with a new serum. I have
the typical doctor's age ol hope of bringing the dead
back to life?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Or is that why your office is so littered with
mice rabbit?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Quite.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Have you succeeded?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
No, not completely, but I've had some interesting results. If
I inject my serum into the veins of a dead animal,
I well, I can bring back a heartbeat for a
period of ten seconds or so, at least under certain conditions.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Right, it sounds Bob Derek.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
What are the conditions if the animal has died of poison?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I I don't think this is dinner conversation.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I think it's fascinating.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Bertha, you would I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Mister Henning will carve the rose Archer?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yes, ma'am. Doctor. What is the procedure you usually go
through in this experiment? I?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Well, usually I feed the animal, preferably a white rat,
regular rape poison. It works very fast and painlessly. I
disguise the poison and milk which I feed my victim. Archer.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Really, I'm study man, awfully sorry, I I didn't mean
to drop the plate.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Uh, go on with your theory, doctor, Then I use
the serum. I I wait approximately one half hour.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Then I go ahead.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
How do you inject the serum.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Doctor, Are you really interested, Bertha, Yes, by hypodermic, I
have one in my medical bag in case you'd like
to say it.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Don't bother, don't don't bother.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I don't believe you can bring a dead man back
to life by injection.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
There's no convincing father, doctor. You might as well give
up er.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Talking of poison reminds me. I didn't know where you
had any rats in the cellar Bertha.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Well are you talking about Latimer?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Archer told me the house was infested in you ordered
her to buy rat poison this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Nonsense, Latimer. Were you careful of gravy on your meat?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Doctor?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
No, thanks, just as is none for me either. I
am a man who doesn't believe in gravies, never have,
never have.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I know you will Latimer Archer, yes, ma'am. The gravy
for mister Henning.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yes, n am I the only gravy eater.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
In the house, obviously, Darling, and I had Archer prepare
a special gravy for you. It's very good for you.
Latimer loves cream gravy's doctor. He'd like a child about them.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Here you are sir, Oh, thank georcher cream gravies. MM,
be careful not to get any rat poison in that, latimer,
or you might be my first human an experiment, and
I'm looking for one. Well, I hope I don't fit
the qualifications. Doctor, I shouldn't enjoy the prospect of being
a corpse.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
It's been a very enjoyable evening, Bertha, A very enjoyable evening.
Nothing I enjoy so much is discussing life. Yes, discussing life.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You must drop over soon again, say Blatimer. I wonder
where he's gone. Probably to the kitchen he raised eyeboxes
at midnight. I'll get him, brother, Never mind, he'll come
out eventually.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
If that doesn't mind waiting, No, I'll go get him.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I don't see how you put up with him at times.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
But uh, a lovely girl like yourself must have a.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Lot of patience to stand for my son, Sances. He's
my husband.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Well, you excued me for a minute, doctor.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
H did I a loot 'em? A? Your family is
asking for you. What are you doing. I'm collecting some
of this cream gravy for you in this little bottle.
Would would you test it at the laboratory. It tasted
funny to me, and I've been feeling slightly ill to
harm com don't be a slave of your imagination.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Will you examine this gravy anyway tonight? Please?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Of course, my boy.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Of course if you don't feel well later on, I'll
give you a pill to take just in case. I
hope I have some with me.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yes, I hope you do too. Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yes, here they are writ in my right hand pocket.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Or a walking hospital.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I always carry three things with me.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
My hypodermic with serum in.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Case somebody should die of poison, my pills for emergencies
such as this, and the good part out to tobacco.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I never like anybody else. Oh, thank you, doctor. I'll
drop by in the morning and you can give me
the report on this gravy.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Do that, Latimer?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yes? And day do that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I'd better put the bottle in my pocket so no
one sees it. I'll come along.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Let's go back to living, all right?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Well? Doctor, did you finally dig Latimer out of the kitchen?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
And did well?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
I must be going, Ladimer, good night, father, come again soon,
I well, I will, and I hope the next time
I come you.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Too will have Joya's news for me.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yes, father, I'll walk your home, mister running fine. Doctor.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Good night, Ladimer, good night, my dear, Good night father.
I'll uh see you in the morning, Latimer r And yes,
doctor in the morning.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well, it's been a long evening and a very dull one.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yes, very dull. I'm telling you no, but Bertha about
archer Latima.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Are you going to start that again?
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yes, she like to me about the rat poison.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Then, frankly, I don't trust the girl, just your imagination.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I'll talk to her in the morning. I wouldn't worry
if I were you. If I don't get a satisfactory explanation,
I promised, I'd just charge your immediate.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yes, I wish you would, dear. I'd feel much better
about the whole thing if you would, very much better.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I'm very tired, Bertha. I'm going upstairs to bed. Ah,
good morning, Ladimer, good morning. Keep your word.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Don't you off at the very break of dollars.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I didn't sleep very well last night.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Doctor, I don't wonder come in, come in. You see,
as soon as my wife and I were upstairs, I
had a recurrence of the premonition.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
You did.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yes, Hm, that's very strange. Why sit down, Ladimer, and
I'll show you. Why sit down over here? In ay
of these two test tunes over here, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Now.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Look here are two test tubes with colorless liquid inside.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
In this little box next to the first test tube
is some rat poison. How as I drop some into
the first test tube.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
What happens? Liquid is turning red? Very good so far.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Now in this jar is the cream gravy you were
served last night.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
As I dropped some.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Into this tube, what happens?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
It turns pink, which.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Means only one thing, that a small amount of rat
poison is present in the gravy, small as enough to
make you well, not to kill you. It's a cute
little trick progressive illness. Nobody would ever suspect poison. In
that case, it would take about seven months before you die.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Nice girl, Archier, huh, yes.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Very nice? But why has this been tried? That's what
interests me?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Why?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Doctor, I haven't the faintest idea that What did you
find out about archer Bernard Well? I asked Inspector Caine,
and he suggested i'd drop him this morning. Could you
go over with me right away? Yes, of course he
has all the information we'll want.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Or what are we waiting for?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Let's go, Amen, come in, come in good morning, inspector came, honey,
this is Latimer Heming, the gentleman I told you about.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
How do you do? How do you do?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Sit down, gentlemen, I understand you've enquired about a certain
Archer Bernard.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
What do you know about her? We ask you first, Well,
we've already made quite a thorough investigation of the lady
in question.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yes, her name is not Archer Bernard, but Doreen Maysfield Masefield.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
That's my wife's maiden name, Doreen Mayfield. What this Archer
woman must be my wife's sister. Yes, she's her sister.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Doctor Bertha once told me about her sister.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yes, Doreen Maysfield was arrested five years ago for petty theft.
She was released from prison only a few months back.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Well, why are you looking for her now?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Because at that time she was also suspect for the
murder poisoning Exactly. The victim was a man was a
friend of your wife.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Well what happened, Inspector?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
The evidence was insufficion to indict her. At the time,
but conclusive proof fell into our hands quite by accident.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
The other day.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Your call was coincidental.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
You were about to go to your house to pick
her up.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Well, why don't you come along with us, Inspector, Yes,
my carriage is waiting outside. Splendid doctor, splendid for Bertha
spending her lifetime trying to protect her sister, just because
she loves her.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Why didn't she confide in me?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
When we see Bertha and her sister together, we'll have
the answer to many things.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Darling, are you all right?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Of course, I'm all right.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
This is Inspector Caine. Missus Hemming. How do you do?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
What's this all about? Come in, Inspector? Thank you, latimers Darling.
It's about Archer. Archer just twenty Bertha. I know the
truth about Archer. Why didn't you tell me?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Latimer? Archer is my problem. I didn't want to burden you.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Don't you worry? Just call in your sister, please.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I can't inspect her. I can't.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
The Inspector's not going to hurt her, dear, He just
wants to talk to her. There's nothing for you.

You're a very honest, faithful person. Come along, Darling, lie
down and rest. This has all been such a frightful
shot to you.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Why wife is resting now? Doctor good?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
And you can give us some health here the half
hour is almost over?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
You mean Rocher died of rat poisoning.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I feel that this first human experiment will be a
definite benefit to the future of science.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
But this is not a scientific laboratory, doctor, No, I
realize that.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
But this opportunity comes once in a life. Taker is
quite right, mister Hemming, give him permission to go ahead.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
If my wife ever found out, she'd die of horror.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
There's no need for her ever to know. The half
hour is drawing to a closed ladermer, Have I your permission,
I should say, has science your permission?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Yes? Of course, doctor, go ahead, inspect her, helping her
roll off the sleeve. What are you going to do?
It's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I always carry this with me, a first after of
some of my own blood.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
This way, doctor, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Not as painful as it looks. No, I mixed my
blood with a serum like this. Hmm, fascinating doctor. How
much longer we got till the half hours completed?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Inspector?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Three more seconds? Mm? All right, doctor, Now I inject
the sermon to her arm like this?
Speaker 4 (22:26):
What are you doing? Doctors? I stay out of this.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Room, don't you, dear experiment on my sister?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
You over black, Inspector.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Hey, look, look she's beginning to breathe again.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
It works.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
No, no, Birther, I hate you. No, sister. Know I
went to jail for you five years ago because I
loved and you were Dinger. It was I that took
the flame of everything in jail. You know, Adminute had
meant to killed one man, and you wanted.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
To kill another.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Because they're hazing you. You want to kill you, Ladimir,
rather than have a child kill you. Yes, yes, and
get your father's money. I was gonna tell you, but
but she she poisoned me.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
First, Archer Cher.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I can sustain her life no longer, Archer Archer. Oh,
I'm sorry, Archer. Bernard is dead.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
She lies.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
To leave the room, Missus Hemming, you'll be wanted at
head bore.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Is not true, Inspector, It's not true.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I'm afraid it is, Ladimer. When the dead return to life,
they have too short a time to lie. I'm sorry
to have to tell you, mister Hemming, but we have
suspected your.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Wife for a long time.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
We could have proved her guilt without a voice from
the grave. Come along, Missus Hemming, Bertha, doctor.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
The veil the lifted veils, the premonitions come true.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
From the tiring, worn pages of the past, we have
brought you the immortal tail, the lifted veil, bell paper roll,
the bells
By what token can then live after death by his work.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Paul Demoichamp Balzac, These great writers of horror stories live on.
Listen to the weird Circle, Out.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Of the past, phantoms of a world gone by, speak again,
the immortal tale the Lifted. There A certain doctor Miniere
was working in the experimental laboratory of his office when
young Latimer Heming dropped in to see him. The two
(00:52):
friends smiled genially at each other. Then Latimer suddenly started
pacing nervously up and down the length.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Of the room. I don't know why I came to you, doctor.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
You're the last person in the world i'd expect to
believe in psychic phenomena. I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
What's bothering you? A lot of man? Well, it's it's
also incredible. Frankly, I don't expect you to believe me.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Why don't you stop facing the floor, sit down quietly
in a chair and tell me the whole story here?
Sit down here. Well, I had a vision, a premonition,
a warning. The veil of the future lifted, and I
saw into it. Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah, I'm sure. No, I'm not insane.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
There's never been any insanity in my family, asked my father.
He'll tell you that the Hemmings are constitutionally solid as
a rock. Yes, yes, I know. Uh, tell me more
about this lifting of the veil, this premonition. Well, the
first time it occurred was about three years ago, shortly
before Bertha and I were married. The first time, et Latimer, Yes,
(02:05):
it's well, it's recurring, it it it, It comes.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Again and again.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh, I'll go on.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well, I I see the face of a woman. She's
lying in bed. Her her face is a death mask.
M you choose nice visions, now, please don't make fun
of it. Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well, anyway, suddenly the woman sits upright in bed, points
an accusing finger at me and says, you killed one
man and you'll kill.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Another, And then, laughing hysterically, she falls back into bed.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Mm and then what happens, you know? Then the vision
becomes hazy and disappears. Now, don't tell me I've been
working too hard. I've never done an honest day's work
in my life. I'd say forget the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yes, that's what I was afraid of. I've been trying
to dismiss it from my mind, doctor mnire. But well,
the other day.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
The other day, my wife higher than you maid, the
person by the name of Archer Bernard. What's so extraordinary
about that?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
She has the exact same face as the face in
my vision? A perfect replica. Oh what'll I do? Doctor?
Shall I?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Shall I tell Bertha? Shall I force her to discharge
the maid?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
You know how practical Bertha is. She'll think I've lost
my mind, Yes she will.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I don't know how to advise you, Latimer, But if
this Archer girl frightens your peace of mind, there's only
one thing to do.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
You mean, dismiss her?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yes, but I wouldn't tell Bertha the real reason. Any
excuse will do. Yes, of course, don't make an issue
out of it, Latimer. Women get stubborn at times, as
how well.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I know that, er doctor.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Would you do me a favor for I certainly you're
a good friend of Inspector Kane at headquarters.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Would you have him do a little checking up on Archer? Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yes, no harm in investigating a woman. I suppose stranger
visions than this one of yours. My boy, I have
come to my attention. Well, I'll see you at dinner tonight.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
At dinner. Yes, your wife invited me.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Oh, and frankly, I'm rather curious to see this new maid,
Archer Bernard myself.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Oh, good night, doctor, and thanks, thanks tremendously Archer.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Archer. Yes, answer the doorbell, will you, of course, right away?
And madam, good evening, mister Hemming.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Oh, good evening, Archer. I'm sorry I forgot my keys.
Is my wife in in the living room, sir, Oh,
thank you. Hello, darling, I'm sorry I'm so late.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You are late, letters, shame on you still be guessed
at dinner this evening? What kept you so long?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
I had dropped by doctor in the aren't.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
You feeling well?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
No, not too well, poor pet. Is my father coming
over the scene.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yes, and please be nice to him.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I'll be charming to him, that is, if you'll just
stop trying to run my entire life for me.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You can't really blame him, Latimer. If he's impatient to
become a grandfather.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't mind wishful thinking, but he's pretty insistent on
my having a son.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Just keep humoring him. After all, he's worked hard all
his life and built up a large fortune. He just
wants to be sure there'll be heirs to carry on
the name.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Bertha is what is it?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Dear?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
You know that new maid archer? I ought to know.
I hired her, Berth, Whether I wish you'd get somebody
else in her place? She she's incompetent.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I find her exceedingly capable.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
She's impudent.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Well, I'll talk to her about.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
It, please, Bertha, if you don't mind, I just as
leave you did, Darling.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
If you had any idea how much trouble I've gone
to to get well, any kind of help it all out? Yeah,
you'd realize what a perfect gem marcher. You concentrate on
your father and let me worry about the servants.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Patty.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yes, but I won't hear another word about it, last mink. Now,
go upstairs and get dressed. Your father and the doctor
will be here within the hour, and if you're not prumped,
your father will take out his temper on me.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
So hurry, dear, please, I won't be long.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Hurry, dear, you always thought of so long?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Oh hurry. I wonder perhaps if I told Birth of
the truth.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Maybe it's all in my mind anyway, But the provision,
the premonitions so recurrent. I might try talking to the
girl myself. Oh no, that wouldn't be right.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
What are you doing in this room, marcher?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I uh uh?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Will I well you what?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I was just straightening up a bit.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I thought you straightened my room this morning.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It needed straightening again, or did it?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Indeed? I found it quite an order after you through
the first time. And what's this that? This package?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Give it to me, sir?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I almost forcocious?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Oh no, no, no, don't ratis? Please? Why will I poison?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yes, rat poison?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
What for rats in the basement?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Your wife asked me to get it? She did.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Well, this isn't the basement of art, I know, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
I take that.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Rat poison and stay out of.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
My room, yes, sir, Sorry, sir, I.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Wonder, I wonder, aren't you Brenard Face in my dream?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
My evil genius. I'm sorry. I'm late, father, awfully sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I warned him not to be late.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Then, lad of I has never been on time for
anything in his life.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I speak with authority. Sorry, father, I'm sorry. Hello, doctor, your.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Wife has been entertaining us very well in your absence, Latimer,
do you think so, doctor, I'm sure of it, My dear,
you've more charm than the law allows.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Anyway, you are nice doctor. Sometimes though, I think you're
afraid of me?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
What's this? What's this? Doctor? Afraid of my daughter in law?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Nonsense? Complete nonsense. But it was only joking, joking? Why
what was funny about it? I'm sorry if I don't
see the point. We Hemmings have always had a very
highly developed sense of humor.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Constitutionally speaking, anyway, what I don't hardly hear you?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Dinner is served, Missus Hemmings.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Thank you, Archer, welcome along all of you. I think
we need a new topic of conversation.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yes, obviously, Bretha, I'm sure father.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
U sit next to me, Dad, doctor over here, thank you,
and you're at the foot of the table, Latimer.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Such as when ever the husband's last? What? What do
you know? Doctor?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Minere We've been hearing a lot about you lately in
the village.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Ah, that's why I've been invited over this evening. Your
feminine curiosity has been aroused.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Eh, frankly, yes, about what?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Doctor?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
About what Missus Hemming is curious? I think about the
experiments I've been performing.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
What experiments are those?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Well, I've been experimenting with a new serum. I have
the typical doctor's age ol hope of bringing the dead
back to life?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Or is that why your office is so littered with
mice rabbit?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Quite.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Have you succeeded?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
No, not completely, but I've had some interesting results. If
I inject my serum into the veins of a dead animal,
I well, I can bring back a heartbeat for a
period of ten seconds or so, at least under certain conditions.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Right, it sounds Bob Derek.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
What are the conditions if the animal has died of poison?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I I don't think this is dinner conversation.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I think it's fascinating.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Bertha, you would I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Mister Henning will carve the rose Archer?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yes, ma'am. Doctor. What is the procedure you usually go
through in this experiment? I?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Well, usually I feed the animal, preferably a white rat,
regular rape poison. It works very fast and painlessly. I
disguise the poison and milk which I feed my victim. Archer.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Really, I'm study man, awfully sorry, I I didn't mean
to drop the plate.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Uh, go on with your theory, doctor, Then I use
the serum. I I wait approximately one half hour.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Then I go ahead.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
How do you inject the serum.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Doctor, Are you really interested, Bertha, Yes, by hypodermic, I
have one in my medical bag in case you'd like
to say it.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Don't bother, don't don't bother.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I don't believe you can bring a dead man back
to life by injection.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
There's no convincing father, doctor. You might as well give
up er.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Talking of poison reminds me. I didn't know where you
had any rats in the cellar Bertha.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Well are you talking about Latimer?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Archer told me the house was infested in you ordered
her to buy rat poison this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Nonsense, Latimer. Were you careful of gravy on your meat?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Doctor?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
No, thanks, just as is none for me either. I
am a man who doesn't believe in gravies, never have,
never have.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I know you will Latimer Archer, yes, ma'am. The gravy
for mister Henning.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yes, n am I the only gravy eater.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
In the house, obviously, Darling, and I had Archer prepare
a special gravy for you. It's very good for you.
Latimer loves cream gravy's doctor. He'd like a child about them.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Here you are sir, Oh, thank georcher cream gravies. MM,
be careful not to get any rat poison in that, latimer,
or you might be my first human an experiment, and
I'm looking for one. Well, I hope I don't fit
the qualifications. Doctor, I shouldn't enjoy the prospect of being
a corpse.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
It's been a very enjoyable evening, Bertha, A very enjoyable evening.
Nothing I enjoy so much is discussing life. Yes, discussing life.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You must drop over soon again, say Blatimer. I wonder
where he's gone. Probably to the kitchen he raised eyeboxes
at midnight. I'll get him, brother, Never mind, he'll come
out eventually.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
If that doesn't mind waiting, No, I'll go get him.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I don't see how you put up with him at times.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
But uh, a lovely girl like yourself must have a.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Lot of patience to stand for my son, Sances. He's
my husband.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Well, you excued me for a minute, doctor.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
H did I a loot 'em? A? Your family is
asking for you. What are you doing. I'm collecting some
of this cream gravy for you in this little bottle.
Would would you test it at the laboratory. It tasted
funny to me, and I've been feeling slightly ill to
harm com don't be a slave of your imagination.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Will you examine this gravy anyway tonight? Please?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Of course, my boy.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Of course if you don't feel well later on, I'll
give you a pill to take just in case. I
hope I have some with me.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yes, I hope you do too. Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yes, here they are writ in my right hand pocket.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Or a walking hospital.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I always carry three things with me.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
My hypodermic with serum in.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Case somebody should die of poison, my pills for emergencies
such as this, and the good part out to tobacco.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I never like anybody else. Oh, thank you, doctor. I'll
drop by in the morning and you can give me
the report on this gravy.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Do that, Latimer?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yes? And day do that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I'd better put the bottle in my pocket so no
one sees it. I'll come along.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Let's go back to living, all right?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Well? Doctor, did you finally dig Latimer out of the kitchen?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
And did well?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
I must be going, Ladimer, good night, father, come again soon,
I well, I will, and I hope the next time
I come you.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Too will have Joya's news for me.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yes, father, I'll walk your home, mister running fine. Doctor.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Good night, Ladimer, good night, my dear, Good night father.
I'll uh see you in the morning, Latimer r And yes,
doctor in the morning.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well, it's been a long evening and a very dull one.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yes, very dull. I'm telling you no, but Bertha about
archer Latima.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Are you going to start that again?
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yes, she like to me about the rat poison.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Then, frankly, I don't trust the girl, just your imagination.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I'll talk to her in the morning. I wouldn't worry
if I were you. If I don't get a satisfactory explanation,
I promised, I'd just charge your immediate.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yes, I wish you would, dear. I'd feel much better
about the whole thing if you would, very much better.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I'm very tired, Bertha. I'm going upstairs to bed. Ah,
good morning, Ladimer, good morning. Keep your word.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Don't you off at the very break of dollars.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I didn't sleep very well last night.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Doctor, I don't wonder come in, come in. You see,
as soon as my wife and I were upstairs, I
had a recurrence of the premonition.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
You did.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yes, Hm, that's very strange. Why sit down, Ladimer, and
I'll show you. Why sit down over here? In ay
of these two test tunes over here, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Now.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Look here are two test tubes with colorless liquid inside.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
In this little box next to the first test tube
is some rat poison. How as I drop some into
the first test tube.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
What happens? Liquid is turning red? Very good so far.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Now in this jar is the cream gravy you were
served last night.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
As I dropped some.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Into this tube, what happens?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
It turns pink, which.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Means only one thing, that a small amount of rat
poison is present in the gravy, small as enough to
make you well, not to kill you. It's a cute
little trick progressive illness. Nobody would ever suspect poison. In
that case, it would take about seven months before you die.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Nice girl, Archier, huh, yes.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Very nice? But why has this been tried? That's what
interests me?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Why?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Doctor, I haven't the faintest idea that What did you
find out about archer Bernard Well? I asked Inspector Caine,
and he suggested i'd drop him this morning. Could you
go over with me right away? Yes, of course he
has all the information we'll want.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Or what are we waiting for?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Let's go, Amen, come in, come in good morning, inspector came, honey,
this is Latimer Heming, the gentleman I told you about.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
How do you do? How do you do?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Sit down, gentlemen, I understand you've enquired about a certain
Archer Bernard.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
What do you know about her? We ask you first, Well,
we've already made quite a thorough investigation of the lady
in question.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yes, her name is not Archer Bernard, but Doreen Maysfield Masefield.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
That's my wife's maiden name, Doreen Mayfield. What this Archer
woman must be my wife's sister. Yes, she's her sister.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Doctor Bertha once told me about her sister.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yes, Doreen Maysfield was arrested five years ago for petty theft.
She was released from prison only a few months back.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Well, why are you looking for her now?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Because at that time she was also suspect for the
murder poisoning Exactly. The victim was a man was a
friend of your wife.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Well what happened, Inspector?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
The evidence was insufficion to indict her. At the time,
but conclusive proof fell into our hands quite by accident.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
The other day.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Your call was coincidental.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
You were about to go to your house to pick
her up.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Well, why don't you come along with us, Inspector, Yes,
my carriage is waiting outside. Splendid doctor, splendid for Bertha
spending her lifetime trying to protect her sister, just because
she loves her.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Why didn't she confide in me?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
When we see Bertha and her sister together, we'll have
the answer to many things.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Darling, are you all right?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Of course, I'm all right.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
This is Inspector Caine. Missus Hemming. How do you do?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
What's this all about? Come in, Inspector? Thank you, latimers Darling.
It's about Archer. Archer just twenty Bertha. I know the
truth about Archer. Why didn't you tell me?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Latimer? Archer is my problem. I didn't want to burden you.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Don't you worry? Just call in your sister, please.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I can't inspect her. I can't.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
The Inspector's not going to hurt her, dear, He just
wants to talk to her. There's nothing for you.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
To be afraid of him. That you protected your sister
or your life birth before, Darling, go ahead, Missus Hemming,
call her.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Archer.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Archer, look, doctor, look, her face is bloodless. It's ghastly
like the face I see in my vision the archer,
he said quickly.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
One is going to faint.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Help.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I never wanted that. Oh oh Archer, doctor, doctor say
so much.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Oh sorry, speech, It's no use.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Bertha Archer committed suicide. Jesus right, No, no, inspector. Help
me carry her into her room. I want to examine
the botot.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I loved her letter no matter what she did.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Cos you did, of course you do.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Thanke your feet very.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Gently in her Which way is her room?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Missus Heming?
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Ready after.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
No, no, missus Henning, why don't you go to your
room and the rest we need you?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Re call you?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Please, please do as I say. I'm still your doctor,
remember bottom. As soon as you can join me in
arch room.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Yes, doctor, as soon as.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Will you forgive forgive your Bertha. There's nothing to forgive.
You're a very honest, faithful person. Come along, Darling, lie
down and rest. This has all been such a frightful
shot to you.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Why wife is resting now? Doctor good?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
And you can give us some health here the half
hour is almost over?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
You mean Rocher died of rat poisoning.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I feel that this first human experiment will be a
definite benefit to the future of science.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
But this is not a scientific laboratory, doctor, No, I
realize that.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
But this opportunity comes once in a life. Taker is
quite right, mister Hemming, give him permission to go ahead.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
If my wife ever found out, she'd die of horror.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
There's no need for her ever to know. The half
hour is drawing to a closed ladermer, Have I your permission,
I should say, has science your permission?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Yes? Of course, doctor, go ahead, inspect her, helping her
roll off the sleeve. What are you going to do?
It's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I always carry this with me, a first after of
some of my own blood.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
This way, doctor, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Not as painful as it looks. No, I mixed my
blood with a serum like this. Hmm, fascinating doctor. How
much longer we got till the half hours completed?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Inspector?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Three more seconds? Mm? All right, doctor, Now I inject
the sermon to her arm like this?
Speaker 4 (22:26):
What are you doing? Doctors? I stay out of this.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Room, don't you, dear experiment on my sister?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
You over black, Inspector.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Hey, look, look she's beginning to breathe again.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
It works.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
No, no, Birther, I hate you. No, sister. Know I
went to jail for you five years ago because I
loved and you were Dinger. It was I that took
the flame of everything in jail. You know, Adminute had
meant to killed one man, and you wanted.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
To kill another.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Because they're hazing you. You want to kill you, Ladimir,
rather than have a child kill you. Yes, yes, and
get your father's money. I was gonna tell you, but
but she she poisoned me.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
First, Archer Cher.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I can sustain her life no longer, Archer Archer. Oh,
I'm sorry, Archer. Bernard is dead.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
She lies.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
To leave the room, Missus Hemming, you'll be wanted at
head bore.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Is not true, Inspector, It's not true.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I'm afraid it is, Ladimer. When the dead return to life,
they have too short a time to lie. I'm sorry
to have to tell you, mister Hemming, but we have
suspected your.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Wife for a long time.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
We could have proved her guilt without a voice from
the grave. Come along, Missus Hemming, Bertha, doctor.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
The veil the lifted veils, the premonitions come true.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
From the tiring, worn pages of the past, we have
brought you the immortal tail, the lifted veil, bell paper roll,
the bells
