light on me. She was looking about two feet over
my head. She didn't see me at all. It's a
great bracket.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
What you do is going to do, but I'm going

Speaker 4 (10:51):

long it thought?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
What it was?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Uh's a hundred dollar bills you and me? I nick
up sometimes huh.
Speaker 1 (11:09):

mighta been priloquits not better than you, but even and.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Either know it, yit you ki' yes, listen, sure you're
a vent priloquis munk. Look cause why I could have
sworn that was me speaking. I didn't you see in
a bench? We could get along without you, but couldn't we?
(12:04):
And sure, if Hubert happened to leave, I could build
a dummy of him.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
We could just change places. The dummy could pit in
the wheelchair and all the ventriloquist on his lap. I'm
about the same size as the dummy. He's got them.
The oriental clothes is hit me.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
The difference.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I can imitate Hubert's voice or anybody's voice.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
The dark the difference.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
The dummy could wear Hubert's clothes. He didn't have Hubert's voice,
But the dummy wouldn't get the money.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
We'd know the difference.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Nobody knows you're here.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Nobody ever needs the house. Nobody doesn't know the difference.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
M oo.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And though you know, I really wasn't surprised he or
four days later when Virginia came and told me.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
That Hilbert had died.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Something he ate seemed to be Virginia had more stuff
in it than I thought she had. It's no singe
begging a hold six feet beet between supper time and breakfast. Uh,
especially in the rain, especially when the people digging a
hold or notther used to manual labor a woman in
a three foot dwarf. The rain helped the course. After
we got the grave sailed made it. Look at the
(13:33):
place delivered the dug up very neat, very handy, and
I was pretty tired by daylight.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
But there wasn't much time to rat.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
They had to get the dune he made, Virginia had
to sell Hubert's.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Clothes on it.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
And we had to go and open safe with the
combination we found in Hubert's desk. Look at the money,
had to look at the pretty often and counted. I

Speaker 3 (06:11):
He had a dummy all fixed up, an oriental costume,
durban and everything.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
He sits in his wheelchair with a very dim little
blue light overhead, and which can just come in and
make like she's hypnotizing, and she wore a black robe
of bail, all.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
That kind of stuff. And the suckers that ask questions
the dummy on you, which me would.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Answer, and the stucker to pay my brother a perfectly
good gold boy and come back for a boy. Yeah,

sucker's a little boy. And it's a big town, but
never mind what down is soil There thousands of stuckers
to draw him the best seented, but how it pays
off right around town with them from oudels, I can
(06:50):
whip up with little Josephine to the life. It's no
time at all. And get this, nobody knows I'm there,
She and that the war can move around the dock
can room, almost as if he's invisible. You look in

gold mine. No checks flicktly cash under line. Hubert's dashes
(07:12):

Speaker 4 (07:14):

Speaker 6 (08:58):
In this scurious land from no traveler returns, we know
the work that was out earthly well.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
And standing in the other room in might sue the
black eyes that covered me from here before they whispered
the vision.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And he's slinging, and I'm thinking night. And before she
could reply, I could my children.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
I must return now and leave this pigirl whose.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Lips I speak to.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
You, who had a later no, no, good.

Perhaps you may feel the hand of the deer departed
one upon yours and them.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
And I touched her. I'm ever so lightly. She screamed
and jumped.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
She was looking straight in my direction, and the dim
light on me. She was looking about two feet over
my head. She didn't see me at all. It's a
great bracket.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
A dozen more times like that, and two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Bills, some times three the other customers would my twenties
and fifties, and they're safe in.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
The corner of the room, founching.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
In twenty a week from me some house money for
Virginia that me and Virginia and Gilbert would the crops
put away, stop them having a drink together, and all
of us thinking.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I'm thinking about the money, the beautiful money in the safe.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
I'm thinking about the money, the beautiful money in the safe.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I'm thinking about the money, the beautiful money in the say.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
What you do is going to do, but I'm going
to buy Good night, Gilbert, goodnight, Gilbert.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I was wondering something, Virginia. Yeah, I was wondering how
long it thought?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
What it was?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Uh's a hundred dollar bills you and me? I nick
up sometimes huh.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Forever?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I guess you want other drink I should do and
getting a little tired of.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It you er uh yeah, that chance of doing anything
about it with him?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
You know Monks of the Triller quish too.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But I I stopt you were in bed you would.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah that was me, Virginia. Huh, you're a Virginia. I
mighta been priloquits not better than you, but even and.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Either know it, yit you ki' yes, listen, sure you're
a vent priloquis munk. Look cause why I could have
sworn that was me speaking. I didn't you see in
a bench? We could get along without you, but couldn't we?
(12:04):
And sure, if Hubert happened to leave, I could build
a dummy of him.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
We could just change places. The dummy could pit in
the wheelchair and all the ventriloquist on his lap. I'm
about the same size as the dummy. He's got them.
The oriental clothes is hit me.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
The difference.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I can imitate Hubert's voice or anybody's voice.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
The dark the difference.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
The dummy could wear Hubert's clothes. He didn't have Hubert's voice,
But the dummy wouldn't get the money.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
We'd know the difference.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Nobody knows you're here.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Nobody ever needs the house. Nobody doesn't know the difference.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
M oo.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And though you know, I really wasn't surprised he or
four days later when Virginia came and told me.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
That Hilbert had died.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Something he ate seemed to be Virginia had more stuff
in it than I thought she had. It's no singe
begging a hold six feet beet between supper time and breakfast. Uh,
especially in the rain, especially when the people digging a
hold or notther used to manual labor a woman in
a three foot dwarf. The rain helped the course. After
we got the grave sailed made it. Look at the
(13:33):
place delivered the dug up very neat, very handy, and
I was pretty tired by daylight.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
But there wasn't much time to rat.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
They had to get the dune he made, Virginia had
to sell Hubert's.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Clothes on it.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
And we had to go and open safe with the
combination we found in Hubert's desk. Look at the money,
had to look at the pretty often and counted. I
kept practicing Gilbert's voice too. I I wanted that'd be perfect. Nason, Virginia,
fourth score and seven years ago hot horders brought forth.

I just waited and waited, and then I heard it sound.
I didn't recognize it at first, But as my eyes
got more used to the business, and I discovered the door,
the safe was opened. Somebody else couldn't resist temptations.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
I flipped down the light. Well, my dear Virginia, just
