Speaker 1 (00:09):
The American Broadcasting Company present Quiet Please, which is written
and directed by Willis Cooper, which features Ernest Chaplin. Quiet
Please for Today is called The Time of the Big Snow.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We were so small.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
And it was such a big snow, wasn't it, dear my?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I remembered it.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
It was the day after New Year's I.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Remember we hadn't had much snow that year, only a
little Thanksgiving Day, No, the day before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
The new were miles standards in the exercise, and I
was Priscilla, and Irving Bauer was well alone at the Indian.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'll never forget that. He was a bad as diddy,
and I ever saw. I can still hear him now.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
What a woman can see by the fiery eyes of
the captain.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Angry is he in his heart? But the heart of
the brave?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
What a woman is not afraid at the second?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
And then you handed him a bag full of bullets
and he dropped.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Them and yelled out, and his Indian headdress.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Fell off, and Missus Mavety was so mad. And then
we went out and it was snowing.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Oh but that was a little bit of a snow,
not like the big one, not a bit like the
big one.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I remember Mama was just lighting her lamps and I
looked out the window and I saw the first flakes
coming down, and I said, oh, Mama, the old woman's
picking her gee. My grandma always used to say just
that everybody did when it started to snow. And I
(01:51):
remember how I wanted to go out with my new
sled that I got for Christmas, and my dad wouldn't
let me.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
There wasn't snow.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Enough, I knew, but I was so disappointed. And I
sat with the window and looked out bald and bald.
So my bad spoke to me.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I had to carry in the coal.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That was one time I didn't mind it because.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
It was snowing and it got dark so quick.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
We sat by the stove after supper and Mama rettus,
what are your snowbomb?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I remember you too.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The next day of the day after New Year's.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
And we finally got off.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Jeez, it was so high, almost at the top of
the fence. Mama said not to go far because it
was snowing so hard.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Remember they didn't want me to go out at all.
They said I'd get lost, but I said I.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Was going to be with you, with Cad and Keed's
a big boy.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
You make me get lost.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We lived on South Fifth Street, then, didn't we.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
The houses were trying to far apart, trying to back
from the street.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
There were big trees on each side of the streets.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Had almost met in the middle, and it kept the
snow from getting too deep out in the street. I
dragged you along on your sled, me with my new
twenty two rifle I got for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
There was hardly anybody on the street.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Everything was so white, so quiet.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
We heard flag bells. You remember it was the male
man in this cutter. Yeah, it wasn't a pretty kate.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
How that old horse hit Who was its right, queen?
How queen's hoops.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Made the snow fly without making any noise at all,
only the sound.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Of the sleigh bells.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
We got out of his road, just a different dad
contest and his cutter, all bundled up. Yeah it was
cold too, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
We were bundled up too. I had on my red
tassel cap.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I remember you had on that little squirrel skin muff
and red mittens.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We were seven years old, so happy.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
It was a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Not mind how the snow is coming down you could
almost see it getting deeper and deeper. We could hardly
tell where we were.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Was that Mars? This house?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
There on the rider was a wolf Myers?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Oh just fun? Wasn't a kid? Just the two of
us alone together and there in the great big white world.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And then I began to get a little worried.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
The wind was starting to blow pretty hard. I couldn't
see a thing. I turned around cold, and I said, Katie,

Speaker 9 (07:48):
What up a minute?
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Then we could see, Oh, I'm just calling our Perry
and he see she's alder in us. Stuff you need it.
I can't see anything. I am getting awful pridge strange. Really,
I don't think I could look very stiff, so stuggling
(08:14):
with no littles. When we get to this sag walked
whig lads this way, Hey, you're going out just this way.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
And then the wind came up stronger, and the snow
was a solid white wall before us. Of course, it's
true we were both very small, but nevertheless it was
a deep snow and going deeper by the second.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I don't know how long we wandered, but my legs
were getting awfully tired. I was staggering a little.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
The sledge seemed to be dragging us backward as we
struggle along. And I admit that I id the intrepid explorer,
and I was.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Very close to tears.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I only the thought of takes reaction to my it's
definitely from busting out, bolling. And then I smacked full force,
and there's something cold, and I saw on the inside.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Who's to me? I've buzzed in my head? How I've
bugged into a tree?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
A tree?
Speaker 8 (09:16):
And last I here? Oh well, anyways, it's on the sidewalk. Now,
we'll see what we all. Maybe if we last on
somebody's door, somebody will take us home.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
I rose her, I'll.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Get some arnicirl something the people in the house. Yes,
let's play the house. Let's ride up here. It has
to be right up here. Maybe maybe we should hunt. Yeah,
that's still yes, How do you know that's how well?
Whoever it is? Hey, we listen. Did you hear something?
(09:58):
I thought? Maybe I heard a door.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I never had such a welcome sound in all my life.
Did you cake?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I should say? Now, I know what I thought. A nice, great,
big red hot stove, when me sitting just as close
to it as I could without thrusting in his flames
and steam rising up from our red clothes, and the
good smell of coffee and fresh baked bread coming from
the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, I thought about coffee. Too, even though my mother
had never let me taste it.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And I thought, by maybe they'll have some oyster stew,
Only it's kind of earlier in the day for people
to have oyster stew. That's bird tonight. But maybe a
cup of cocoas they'll probably the Albert Morris or Willie
Canson eat his bowlander to help drink the cocoa, eat
the oyster stew, if they have any. I tell you,
(10:57):
I just crashed my way through the snow toward the
sound of that if we heard calling.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Then suddenly kid yelled, I see the house steady.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Hurry, Hire, I say, hurry, Henry.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
Who's how is it? I can't tell. Oh, he's a
step how Hello? There isn't anybody yet. They were inside,
so they seek They're gonna stand out here on the
snow and they don't have to fall well.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Not, I.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Huh, lady. They went into the other room. Why the
door is open? Come on, come on, I can't see
the old dag again.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
There wasn't any nice, big red hot story.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
There wasn't any oyster stewl either of coffee, coke, coke.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
There wasn't anything.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
The house was empty.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Katie and I walked into the big bear empty room,
and it was almost as cold in air as there
was outside, only of course it wasn't snowing. But now
we could hear the sound of the snow on the
windows and its soft, little padding sound, the sounds you
wouldn't hear ordinarily.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It was a loud in the beating of our hearts.
And we just stood there.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Katie was still stiffling, and I admit I didn't feel
much like Commodore Perry because the house was empty, you see,
And there wasn't an empty house anywhere on South fifth Street.
Mars's Walt Myers, Reverend Bowman's Bolanders, and Willie Jensen's Judge Kerns,
(12:52):
but no empty house. And I couldn't think.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Where we are at all.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
We were in South History, but I didn't.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Where explorers always wandering through.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
And I looked around. There wasn't a thing in the room,
not a chair or a table.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Not anything, but the room seems somehow to look as
if somebody lived there anyway. And I said to Katie,
I don't know where we are.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
Maybe we better get out of here. I hold, wo
we should stay a minute and try get warm. Oh,
we better not stay your room. I'm cold. W let's
sit down here in the corner and try to get
warm these There isn't any wind. I don't want to school.
I didn't you know, But yes, my goodness, you'll have to, Katy, we.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Have to go home.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Maybe I come looking for it here? Anyway? How did
we find our way home? Again? I could find it.

a tree, then I found it? All okay, put your

Speaker 4 (22:37):
Why you poor kids?
Speaker 6 (22:39):

Maybe you give us something for all the work.
Speaker 4 (23:39):

Speaker 6 (23:42):

Speaker 4 (23:45):
I gave my little grandson gifts. Here, Teddy, here's Katy.

Now, go to.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
See thank you, thank you and your commas, kiss me

Speaker 3 (24:24):
And the very last thing I remember was the feathers,
how they were all star shaped and crystal is not
at all like the.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Feathers I've ever seen. It was almost midnight when they
found this.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Katie's father in mine, and the blacksmith, mister Wright, and
Arthur Donaghue and his brother Harry, and there wasn't any
house there at all.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
There wasn't anything.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
We were buried under a huge snowdrift and a vacant lout,
not one hundred feet from our backyard.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
There wasn't any old woman either.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yes, two kids and sleep in the snow in each other's.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Arms, And I'm not frozen to death after all.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
And they took us home and we had our oyster
stew in our cocoa, and we sat at a big stone,
and then we slept.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
We slept, and we slept, and.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Neither one of us ever did disabout our parents again,
did we too?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Hardly, ever daring, But we never did tell anybody before
because they wouldn't have believed this.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
They had said it was a dream.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
But how could we both dream the same dream? And
we could get married just as she said we were,
and we still have got that little red clay priestpipe,
just like Hyahwatkin.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
And the little dol and arrow.
Speaker 9 (25:54):

Speaker 2 (00:31):
We were so small.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
And it was such a big snow, wasn't it, dear my?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I remembered it.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
It was the day after New Year's I.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Remember we hadn't had much snow that year, only a
little Thanksgiving Day, No, the day before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
The new were miles standards in the exercise, and I
was Priscilla, and Irving Bauer was well alone at the Indian.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'll never forget that. He was a bad as diddy,
and I ever saw. I can still hear him now.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
What a woman can see by the fiery eyes of
the captain.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Angry is he in his heart? But the heart of
the brave?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
What a woman is not afraid at the second?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
And then you handed him a bag full of bullets
and he dropped.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Them and yelled out, and his Indian headdress.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Fell off, and Missus Mavety was so mad. And then
we went out and it was snowing.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Oh but that was a little bit of a snow,
not like the big one, not a bit like the
big one.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I remember Mama was just lighting her lamps and I
looked out the window and I saw the first flakes
coming down, and I said, oh, Mama, the old woman's
picking her gee. My grandma always used to say just
that everybody did when it started to snow. And I
(01:51):
remember how I wanted to go out with my new
sled that I got for Christmas, and my dad wouldn't
let me.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
There wasn't snow.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Enough, I knew, but I was so disappointed. And I
sat with the window and looked out bald and bald.
So my bad spoke to me.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I had to carry in the coal.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That was one time I didn't mind it because.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
It was snowing and it got dark so quick.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
We sat by the stove after supper and Mama rettus,
what are your snowbomb?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I remember you too.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The next day of the day after New Year's.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
And we finally got off.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Jeez, it was so high, almost at the top of
the fence. Mama said not to go far because it
was snowing so hard.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Remember they didn't want me to go out at all.
They said I'd get lost, but I said I.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Was going to be with you, with Cad and Keed's
a big boy.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
You make me get lost.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We lived on South Fifth Street, then, didn't we.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
The houses were trying to far apart, trying to back
from the street.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
There were big trees on each side of the streets.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Had almost met in the middle, and it kept the
snow from getting too deep out in the street. I
dragged you along on your sled, me with my new
twenty two rifle I got for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
There was hardly anybody on the street.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Everything was so white, so quiet.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
We heard flag bells. You remember it was the male
man in this cutter. Yeah, it wasn't a pretty kate.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
How that old horse hit Who was its right, queen?
How queen's hoops.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Made the snow fly without making any noise at all,
only the sound.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Of the sleigh bells.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
We got out of his road, just a different dad
contest and his cutter, all bundled up. Yeah it was
cold too, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
We were bundled up too. I had on my red
tassel cap.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I remember you had on that little squirrel skin muff
and red mittens.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We were seven years old, so happy.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
It was a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Not mind how the snow is coming down you could
almost see it getting deeper and deeper. We could hardly
tell where we were.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Was that Mars? This house?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
There on the rider was a wolf Myers?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Oh just fun? Wasn't a kid? Just the two of
us alone together and there in the great big white world.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And then I began to get a little worried.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
The wind was starting to blow pretty hard. I couldn't
see a thing. I turned around cold, and I said, Katie,
we better turn around and.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Get around and go back.
Speaker 8 (04:36):
Why I should we better turn around and go back?

Speaker 9 (07:48):
What up a minute?
Speaker 8 (07:49):
Then we could see, Oh, I'm just calling our Perry
and he see she's alder in us. Stuff you need it.
I can't see anything. I am getting awful pridge strange. Really,
I don't think I could look very stiff, so stuggling
(08:14):
with no littles. When we get to this sag walked
whig lads this way, Hey, you're going out just this way.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
And then the wind came up stronger, and the snow
was a solid white wall before us. Of course, it's
true we were both very small, but nevertheless it was
a deep snow and going deeper by the second.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I don't know how long we wandered, but my legs
were getting awfully tired. I was staggering a little.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
The sledge seemed to be dragging us backward as we
struggle along. And I admit that I id the intrepid explorer,
and I was.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Very close to tears.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I only the thought of takes reaction to my it's
definitely from busting out, bolling. And then I smacked full force,
and there's something cold, and I saw on the inside.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Who's to me? I've buzzed in my head? How I've
bugged into a tree?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
A tree?
Speaker 8 (09:16):
And last I here? Oh well, anyways, it's on the sidewalk. Now,
we'll see what we all. Maybe if we last on
somebody's door, somebody will take us home.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
I rose her, I'll.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Get some arnicirl something the people in the house. Yes,
let's play the house. Let's ride up here. It has
to be right up here. Maybe maybe we should hunt. Yeah,
that's still yes, How do you know that's how well?
Whoever it is? Hey, we listen. Did you hear something?
(09:58):
I thought? Maybe I heard a door.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I never had such a welcome sound in all my life.
Did you cake?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I should say? Now, I know what I thought. A nice, great,
big red hot stove, when me sitting just as close
to it as I could without thrusting in his flames
and steam rising up from our red clothes, and the
good smell of coffee and fresh baked bread coming from
the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, I thought about coffee. Too, even though my mother
had never let me taste it.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And I thought, by maybe they'll have some oyster stew,
Only it's kind of earlier in the day for people
to have oyster stew. That's bird tonight. But maybe a
cup of cocoas they'll probably the Albert Morris or Willie
Canson eat his bowlander to help drink the cocoa, eat
the oyster stew, if they have any. I tell you,
(10:57):
I just crashed my way through the snow toward the
sound of that if we heard calling.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Then suddenly kid yelled, I see the house steady.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Hurry, Hire, I say, hurry, Henry.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
Who's how is it? I can't tell. Oh, he's a
step how Hello? There isn't anybody yet. They were inside,
so they seek They're gonna stand out here on the
snow and they don't have to fall well.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Not, I.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Huh, lady. They went into the other room. Why the
door is open? Come on, come on, I can't see
the old dag again.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
There wasn't any nice, big red hot story.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
There wasn't any oyster stewl either of coffee, coke, coke.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
There wasn't anything.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
The house was empty.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Katie and I walked into the big bear empty room,
and it was almost as cold in air as there
was outside, only of course it wasn't snowing. But now
we could hear the sound of the snow on the
windows and its soft, little padding sound, the sounds you
wouldn't hear ordinarily.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It was a loud in the beating of our hearts.
And we just stood there.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Katie was still stiffling, and I admit I didn't feel
much like Commodore Perry because the house was empty, you see,
And there wasn't an empty house anywhere on South fifth Street.
Mars's Walt Myers, Reverend Bowman's Bolanders, and Willie Jensen's Judge Kerns,
(12:52):
but no empty house. And I couldn't think.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Where we are at all.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
We were in South History, but I didn't.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Where explorers always wandering through.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
And I looked around. There wasn't a thing in the room,
not a chair or a table.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Not anything, but the room seems somehow to look as
if somebody lived there anyway. And I said to Katie,
I don't know where we are.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
Maybe we better get out of here. I hold, wo
we should stay a minute and try get warm. Oh,
we better not stay your room. I'm cold. W let's
sit down here in the corner and try to get
warm these There isn't any wind. I don't want to school.
I didn't you know, But yes, my goodness, you'll have to, Katy, we.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Have to go home.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Maybe I come looking for it here? Anyway? How did
we find our way home? Again? I could find it.
I found this house, didn't I? You hit yourself on
a tree, then I found it? All okay, put your
arms around me. Why hold well, put your arms around me.

Speaker 8 (18:18):
Do you always pick your geese on it snows?

Speaker 8 (18:23):
You must have a lot of geese.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Hundreds thousands all over the world.

Speaker 7 (18:33):
I have them there, Teddy, But they're way up high
up on top of the mountains.

And the ring came reaching right in, and the white
feathers threw out the open window with it. Katie and
I gathered up great armloads of the feathers and talked
from out the window, and the laugh and laughed if
the rings whirled them high in the area they seem
to notifly we had was full of white words.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Again in the bust house side the left, some more
on the left.
