Hm? I've been wondering lying here, what's that, missus Allan?
How are you really a nurse?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Why?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Of course that's stuff you keep giving me to make
me sleep. It doesn't You'll be asleep in no time,
missus Allan, if you'd only make up your mind to it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's all in your mind.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You know that's funny you're saying that to me now,
then missus Allan, you mustn't keep talking. And that's how
it was with him, all in his mind. That's why
I couldn't help him. That's why nobody in the world
could help him. I know that now, but I couldn't
bring myself to admit.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
It until last night.

I was at the Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 5 (01:47):

Speaker 6 (01:48):
Proudest night of my life.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I was waiting for my husband to end up the
stage and take his place as a leader of a
great orchestra.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Yes, I should have felt proud, But all I could
feel was fear.
Speaker 7 (01:57):
There wasn't a new fear.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
It was an old fear, as old as our lives together.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It began nearly two years ago. An I had driven
to the Pasadena station to meet a new pupil of
his and from the East. I didn't have any reason
to believe that this new arrival would be any different
from dozens of o us who came every year to
live with us and study music.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
With my husband.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Well, I don't see him anywhere.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Don't you know what he looks like?
Speaker 7 (02:22):

him over there.

I have one, but like an idiot, I left it
at home.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Well that's start thinging here.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Beethoven would have you been able to say, professor, get it?
Speaker 7 (02:51):
But you know Allan, I think he'd rather put up
with being playing. Excuse me?
Speaker 8 (02:56):
What about your banks?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We have our call with mister Allen.
Speaker 7 (02:59):

Yeah, okay, I guess we can all ride in the.
Speaker 4 (03:10):

Staring like that, it doesn't worry him so much now
that he has his own Protogo must.
Speaker 8 (03:44):
Be hot on you though, sometimes.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
Why should it be hot on me?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (03:49):

What's your first name? Missus Webman?

You can call me anything you like, mister Allen.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Arah, there's a belt?
Speaker 8 (04:05):
Yeah, what's that, my dear?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
There's a train coming? Oh, thank you, my dear.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I hope I didn't give you a stare.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Mister Allen.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I really shouldn't be driving without that full device.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
And my dear, would you like to drive?
Speaker 8 (04:35):
You drive?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
We're almost home now anyway.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
That's that's where we live, nice little town we love.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
I hope you'll enjoy it, mister Allan.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
I'm sure I will.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Fancy that's all I was to it, and you had
to beat off. Asked me to go away with him
to two bucks two that night. I'd have gone, but
he didn't. He didn't ask me anything. He just watched me.
Not like the musical genius he was supposed to be.
He was rough and hard and strong, a kid from
(05:09):
the wrong side.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Of the trunk, a kid like me.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
And I was watching him.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I was watching him all the time until one morning
I had gone into La for the day.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I was in the kitchen washing up the breakfast stitch.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
And he was supposed to be up in his room composing.
But he wasn't composing anymore than I was washing dishes.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
He was waiting for me to go.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Up to him. He didn't have to wait long.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Why I was looking for.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
My husband when the constantly philarmonic he did.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
I wanted him to do an errand for me.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Oh that's still bad.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Oh well, it'll have to wait until next week.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
Now, I suppose you might remember and call you night.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Yes to night.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
What's it called?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
It's an oorveriter ouverture and two kids. Oh you asked
me that before at breakfast? Remember?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yes, so I didn't hard for God, look at me.
Why the professor would kill me if you caught me
wasting your time like this?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Maybe that's one reason you wait until he is out
of the way. Wow, Why ahead? The other reason. It's
been on your mind ever since I first stay at
the station. On your figures you'd wait, but then you
make the first move. It's a way a team, I'll
always figures. So she meets the right guy, meaning you,
I don't mean Santa clause?
Speaker 7 (06:38):
And what does that make me?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Kill me?
Speaker 8 (06:42):
Darling?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You like to play hard to get, don't you?
Speaker 8 (06:50):
And am I so hard? Do you get?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I been going crazy?
Speaker 8 (06:54):
What do you think I happened to him? When does
he get back?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Later?
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Hard lady?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Never before?
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Six?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
So well?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Tim Six o'clock came too soon that night, It always
came too soon.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I think I'd readed that clock more than i'd read
at Ira.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
We couldn't cheat on the clock. But with aarra well,
taking care of Ourra wasn't any problem for an Einstein
because Mark is the one who had to do it.
Mark had to fix it so that airphones are no airphones,
Iarra would be.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Dead as deaf as an addam.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Sometimes I couldn't understand why Mark got so upset over
that part of it. He used to tell me that
I never would understand. I wasn't a musician and I
wasn't dead well, anyway, I had plenty of other things
to feel bad about.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
We boas did.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
We were like two shipwrecked sailors dying of first and
all we got to drink was salt water.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
So you can stand that.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Kind of first.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Just so long.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
Hello, tell her yourself.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Keep on saying, Oh.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
Hasn't he gone yet?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
He just called off his LA appointment. What's he thinks
he's in for the flu or something? Anyways, staying home
all day.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Lots of door baby, keep the germs on.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Mark.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, he was talking about you.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
He said, you decided to cut the course.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
I've taken in about all he can teach me besides
the dose running short.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You're lying, but I'm glad you're lying.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Take me with you.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
We can go away together where New York Chicago doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Follow us, you know.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Then he's the kind of guy who'd track us down
at the end of the earth.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I wouldn't mind.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
I would, I'd mind plenty.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
You mean, your career is a great conduct That makes
me an heal, doesn't it? That makes you like the
rest of them?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
That's all our of things about his career.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
He cares about as much for me as.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Okay, okay, but so far as the law is concerns
your professor Whitmer's wife, there isn't anything we can do.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
About it, isn't there?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
MoU not think it makes sense?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (09:02):
Does it make any sense to you?
Speaker 6 (09:04):
I've thought about it.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
He wanted to hear me say it, though, didn't. She
don't look at me, so you'd be sure I was
crazy about it, Mark me.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I only read it misterious way every time.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
But we do, don't we every time? He well, toy.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Power.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I must apologize for lowering myself to the role of
a knavesdropper. High please, And it's also regrettable that you,
mister Allen, should presume that my affliction would affect my
powers of observation, or, for that matter, my tolerance. You
will kindly make arrangements to leave my house.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
I guess that's about the way it is, Professor.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I've already taken the liberty, or I should say, the
precaution of reserving you a ticket to New York. You
have forty minutes to get to the Pasadian station. I
must talk to you, undoubtedly, my dear, But mister Allan's
going to catch his train. I must go and get
the car.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
You might help mister.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Allen with his packing.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
What time do you have five to eleven?
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Yeah, we can just make up.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
It's not we're not really going.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
To me my music case. No, it's right there on
the piano.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
What about the rest of it?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
John?
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Are you leaving it behind the store?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Your forwarding address?
Speaker 6 (10:15):
At least you can tell me where you're going.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
You heard him New York's mark.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Let me know if if you should change your mind,
I won't have to let you know, Frenzy, I haven't
changed my mind.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
All three left.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I remember looking at the alarm.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
South beside is dead. It's set eleven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
That I thought about what I'd be doing tomorrow at
eleven o'clock, and a day after that, and the next week,
in the next gune, eleven o'clock to all the rest
of my life would be the time he walked out
of that door.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Go on to decry, but I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
I just sat there.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Listening to the clock.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I must have sat without moving for hours. Then I
heard the bell.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
My first thought was that it was on, though automatically
I got up and walked down stairs to.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Answered, Hey, ma'am, you missus woodman, that's right, then Scott,
please headquarters. You know this gentleman here? Oh yes you Uh,
let's get ready for some bad news. Missus Woodman my husband.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Yes, ma'am, there's uh been an accident a turn that
I'm an old friend of the family. Maybe you better
let me tell her.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
You would have to give me some address that mister Allen.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Call me here Pasadena one two, one three. It's only
a matter of the next few days. You understand I'm saying,
Thoma as long as you need.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Me Pasadena one two one three. All right, Miss Allen,
the day.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
Miss Woods, goodbye, goodbye the time mark.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I thought I was never gonna see you again, didn't she?
Speaker 8 (11:47):
I think I want to sit down here.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Tell me what happened quickly.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
It was pretty terrible. I told him a couple of
times to take it easy. You must have been doing
seventy when we had the main drag. Maybe that's why
I didn't recognize where we were. Anyway, I would have
known we were there, that's close to the crossing until
I heard the bell. He still had time, and he'd
thrown on his brakes when I hollered at him. I
(12:13):
would have been all the time in the world. Maybe
he thought he could make it, or maybe he just
didn't hear me. I don't know, I, I just don't
know it. He was too late to grab the wheel.
It was too late to do anything. That was when
I jumped. The next thing I know, there were cops
all over the place. There was a dock there too,
and been a here hours ago. If I hadn't had
to convince him that I didn't need an ambulance. And
(12:34):
those cops they asked more questions.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Uh, I asked you about aar.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
I rah didn't need a nan go and say their frenzy.
He was dead.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
Law Suspense. Roma Winds are bringing you John.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Bennett in Overturing Two Keys, Roma Wind's presentation tonight in
Radio's outstanding theater Thrills suspense.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Between the acts of suspense. This is Ken Niles for
Roma Wines. These cold, blustery evenings, there's real pleasure in
staying comfortably at home, listening to favorite radio programs, reading
by the fireplace, and enjoying the mellow pleasure of the
fine Roma wine, Yes better tasting Roma California wines, sherry
(13:42):
Port or Muscatel add warmth and friendliness to quiet evenings
and informal entertaining, and because Roma winds taste better. More
Americans and joy Roma than any other wine. Roma winds
taste better because Roma begins with choicest grapes. Then, with
patient skill and America's finest wine making resources, Roma guided
(14:07):
these choice grates unhurriedly to tempting taste perfection. Later, along
with Roma wines of years before, this rich great treasure
awaits election from the world's greatest wine.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Reserves for your pleasure. So share with your friends. These
better tasting Roma wines insist on Roma. Roma Roma wines,
and now Roma wines bring back to our Hollywood soundstage.
Joan Bennett as Frenzy Whitmer but Howard Duff as Mark
(14:41):
Allen in Overture and Two Keys, a tale well calculated
to keep you in suspense.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
I held the inquest of the house.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It took the coroner less than three minutes to return
the verdict accidental death. I thought we should wait, but
Mark said it wouldn't make any difference that people were
going to talk.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
They'd talk anyway.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
So a couple of weeks.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Later we drove down to you. A man got married.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
During the ceremony, I felt.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
A little like Rossy was much more like home.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
And let me tell you, if you ever get married
in one of those humor wedding chapels, you'll feel like
crying too. And the outside there are neon lights to
tell you how they do business day and night. And
on the inside everything is strictly like a funeral parlem,
artificial liies, incense, and of course in north.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
And you friendsy with me, take this manage you're lovely
with it has been to happen hopefuss day forward. I do,
And do you Mark Allan take.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
This woman as you're lovely with it? Rife?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Mark I do?
Speaker 8 (15:54):
I don't?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I repeat, do you Mark Allan take this woman?
Speaker 7 (15:59):
You having to hold the shape to your bim.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Park I killed him afterwards about stuffing his lines, and
he acted very serious about the whole thing and tried
to make out that he didn't hear that particular part
where I guess every man thinks that those words are
written just to make him nervous, and every woman thinks
they are written just for her.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
At least I know I did that fierce.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
We were as happy as any two people could possibly be,
and then there wasn't that anything changed, But I began to.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Worry about Mark. It was as though he were expecting something.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Sometimes when he thought I wasn't watching him, it almost
seemed as though we were listening to something.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
A couple of nights ago we had the party was
kind of a send off from Mark.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Staper with the bowl, and it was a very all
along this.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You can you've donated my aumiliation, mister Alan right in
the middle of Nimi's dead stine too, And afterward he
had deserved to.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Tell me, so do you wrung with his? It's my
edge by oh, I could.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Have that het up, if you'll excuse me, Madame Tetra,
I think my wife, Darling, we get rid of these
paper eventually.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
I suppose here comes Stanley. I mean he'll know how
to cut it short.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
It was like a good father him is Allen, you
get an important manager and all the important.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Artists visit your house?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Now?
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Can you get them all out of my home?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Although you can't disquad your public mom, what about playing
something sort of wind up in?
Speaker 8 (17:31):
How about the overture?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I won't I know it won't sound on the piano,
but I won't do the thing.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Now where does he go?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
He asked him to wind up the evening, didn't you?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
But how can I make an announcement if it doesn't
tell me what he's going to play?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Of course, it wasn't anything important.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Phone calls it come at a moment like that, never are.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
It was just someone who wanted to wish Mark good
luck tomorrow night, I said, saying he hung up. It
wasn't until I was halfway back up the stairs that
I knew something had gone wrong.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Face, Look, I get what happened?
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Alarmed? Where where's my husband?
Speaker 8 (18:38):
He's upstairs?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
What's the matter with me?
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Nothing at all, my dear.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Nothing at all.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
He was a little over Tiredirs.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You can be missus Allen. It's a plainting the stage
for right, So I was matting him.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I didn't wait for the rest.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
When I found him, he was just lying there, stewing
into the darkness.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
I wanted to hold him in my arms and tell
him that, no matter what, but he was my guy.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
But I didn't.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
I didn't say a word. Mad at that he.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
It seemed like a long.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
While later when I woke up, I didn't run a
wake up.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I was tired, said tired, so tired of waking up.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Hurt me all over, only this time it's hurt hard
than usual.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
And suddenly I was sitting upright in bed with a
chill running straight up my spine.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
The sound came from the music room.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I sawn off of a light, but that didn't tell
me anything. I didn't know already.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Half said with him.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Somehow I got out of bed.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And walked downstairs my cat walk.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
So I was standing outside the music room. Dogs, but
I've been standing at the bar of judgment. I would
have still said the same prayer, but the door.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Would be mocked.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
But a pass.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
The room was in the dark and was still in
a small level. And they are looking like something out
of our heart.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Which was sat my arm. I couldn't see it faces,
all of his hands lying up and down in the lampside.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
It's nothing I work with good, Oh.
Speaker 7 (20:07):

talking to me, Just keep talking. Hold my hand, the
hands of darling, Look at your hand. Tell me what's wrong.
I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Everything was fine us all.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
I left the room to answer the phone.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
I didn't hear any phone. What was even morning had
come upstairs? If it hadn't done for your perfume. Even
then I didn't believe it. Then I I came down here,
I played like this, I don't here.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Then I played louder.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I couldn't hear.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Don't darling, don't don't go All right now, it's awesome
late four o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
It's funny. You do it too.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
What should I.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Listen to see if your watch is going? Let's be
a reflex action. Even he did it, Mark always reminded
me of Nelson putting his telescope to his blind eye.
I don't suppose you understand about that. Even if you'd
loved him, you'd never have known what it meant for
a musician.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
So there, Mark, there's only one thing I know I'll
care about. I don't care about anything else in this world.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I just don't care.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
Fran.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yes, you know, don't you.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
Yes, Mark, You've always known, haven't you.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Yes? I suppose I have.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
I'm sorry Fran to you.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Oh, Mark, I told you.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I don't care.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
I don't care about anything but you has an awful
song murder. As I sat watching.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Him walk across the great stage of the Hollywood Bowl,
I wanted to pray, but I knew I hadn't even
the right.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
To do that.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
All I could do was think of what he must
be thinking.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
How he must have.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Tied it to them for a second.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Harry must have slipped the wire on the earphone so I.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Wouldn't notice this. How I must have felt when we
were coming to the railroad crossing and he heard the
warning though and Ira couldn't Arrah couldn't hear anything, nor
could stand it.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
That way he killed my husband because.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
He couldn't hear a little better. U, I have to wait.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Where, let me true, please, please, I have to get through.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
I'm sorry. L Yeah, that's down.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
I heard the bell, darling, it's all right, it's all right.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
I'm here with you, with me.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Then he didn't you.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
Kenner wring his hands at the stage. It was the bell.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
It took us an hour to get him to make
any sense, and then suddenly he was all right, as
all right as.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I had that a statement in my life.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
The doctor was as pleased as an old midwife and
insisted that it was the senator that had done the trick.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I wish he'd been right, but you see, and then
I was beginning to see what.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Was wrong with mar and I knew that all the
doctors in the world wouldn't do him any good, but
I still dared to hope.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
That's some high cool.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
All right, come on, let's go.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Don't you want me to go home?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I'm okay now. You mustn't cry, baby.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I'm okay now, So that's why I can cry.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Nor.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, Let's go away from here right away, to Canada
or someplace for a year longer if you want.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
Even if you don't even.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Look at a note of music, it doesn't matter. He'll
be right away from everything, and then it won't happen anymore.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
I know it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
He'll only get away right away, even for me.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
If that was home.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Where should we go? Florida?
Speaker 7 (25:16):
There you are, darling.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
You know it's about time you saw something else but
palm trees. That's making New England.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
Up around Vermont or something.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
When I have to get you a sleeping bag your
dire cold.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
I love you me too.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Why don't you let me drive?
Speaker 8 (25:29):
You can't?
Speaker 3 (25:31):

Speaker 8 (25:45):
There's some places in the woods up there.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
That's how the music ended.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
They told me today that he was dead before they
go us to the hospital.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Hm? I've been wondering lying here, what's that, missus Allan?
How are you really a nurse?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Why?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Of course that's stuff you keep giving me to make
me sleep. It doesn't You'll be asleep in no time,
missus Allan, if you'd only make up your mind to it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's all in your mind.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You know that's funny you're saying that to me now,
then missus Allan, you mustn't keep talking. And that's how
it was with him, all in his mind. That's why
I couldn't help him. That's why nobody in the world
could help him. I know that now, but I couldn't
bring myself to admit.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
It until last night.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
You know where I was last night?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I was at the Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
It should have been the.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Proudest night of my life.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I was waiting for my husband to end up the
stage and take his place as a leader of a
great orchestra.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Yes, I should have felt proud, But all I could
feel was fear.
Speaker 7 (01:57):
There wasn't a new fear.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
It was an old fear, as old as our lives together.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It began nearly two years ago. An I had driven
to the Pasadena station to meet a new pupil of
his and from the East. I didn't have any reason
to believe that this new arrival would be any different
from dozens of o us who came every year to
live with us and study music.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
With my husband.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Well, I don't see him anywhere.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Don't you know what he looks like?
Speaker 7 (02:22):
What's that, my dear?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Oh? Never mind, say that looks like it might feed
him over there.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Excuse me?
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Are you looking for for cousin?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Whickmove?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Oh, professor Widmer? Yeah, and mar Allen, and you'll have
to talk to my wife. I can't hear.
Speaker 8 (02:35):
You just now right, annoying missus Woodman.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
How do you do you know those streamline hearing devices
you see advertising the papers all the time with Allen,
I have one, but like an idiot, I left it
at home.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Well that's start thinging here.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Beethoven would have you been able to say, professor, get it?
Speaker 7 (02:51):
But you know Allan, I think he'd rather put up
with being playing. Excuse me?
Speaker 8 (02:56):
What about your banks?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We have our call with mister Allen.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
Right, miss Alla's bags, my dear, I just do it's
the one riding.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Just put the bags in the back.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Yeah that way?
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Yeah, okay, I guess we can all ride in the.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Front that way after you, missus, miss Allen. My wife
takes care of everything.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
That's what poor old Beethoven needed.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Come good's dependable wife.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Is your first visit to California? Mittellen?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Right, hot of them, thought of least in Chicago before him?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
My wife, Well you'll find the climate a nice change anyway.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
What about you, missus Webman.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You native California, I'm not exactly, but the professor Now,
I've lived here ever since we were married.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
So fascinating Great Kentucky and losing his.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Staring like that, it doesn't worry him so much now
that he has his own Protogo must.
Speaker 8 (03:44):
Be hot on you though, sometimes.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
Why should it be hot on me?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (03:49):
I just thought it might be. That's all all right?
What's your first name? Missus Webman?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Ryan?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Sandy?
Speaker 8 (03:57):
Do you mind if I call you then? Sometimes?
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Close?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Not?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You can call me anything you like, mister Allen.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Arah, there's a belt?
Speaker 8 (04:05):
Yeah, what's that, my dear?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
There's a train coming? Oh, thank you, my dear.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I hope I didn't give you a stare.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Mister Allen.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I really shouldn't be driving without that full device.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
And my dear, would you like to drive?
Speaker 8 (04:35):
You drive?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
We're almost home now anyway.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
That's that's where we live, nice little town we love.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
I hope you'll enjoy it, mister Allan.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
I'm sure I will.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Fancy that's all I was to it, and you had
to beat off. Asked me to go away with him
to two bucks two that night. I'd have gone, but
he didn't. He didn't ask me anything. He just watched me.
Not like the musical genius he was supposed to be.
He was rough and hard and strong, a kid from
(05:09):
the wrong side.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Of the trunk, a kid like me.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
And I was watching him.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I was watching him all the time until one morning
I had gone into La for the day.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I was in the kitchen washing up the breakfast stitch.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
And he was supposed to be up in his room composing.
But he wasn't composing anymore than I was washing dishes.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
He was waiting for me to go.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Up to him. He didn't have to wait long.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Why I was looking for.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
My husband when the constantly philarmonic he did.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
I wanted him to do an errand for me.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Oh that's still bad.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Oh well, it'll have to wait until next week.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
Now, I suppose you might remember and call you night.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Yes to night.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
What's it called?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
It's an oorveriter ouverture and two kids. Oh you asked
me that before at breakfast? Remember?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yes, so I didn't hard for God, look at me.
Why the professor would kill me if you caught me
wasting your time like this?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Maybe that's one reason you wait until he is out
of the way. Wow, Why ahead? The other reason. It's
been on your mind ever since I first stay at
the station. On your figures you'd wait, but then you
make the first move. It's a way a team, I'll
always figures. So she meets the right guy, meaning you,
I don't mean Santa clause?
Speaker 7 (06:38):
And what does that make me?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Kill me?
Speaker 8 (06:42):
Darling?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You like to play hard to get, don't you?
Speaker 8 (06:50):
And am I so hard? Do you get?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I been going crazy?
Speaker 8 (06:54):
What do you think I happened to him? When does
he get back?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Later?
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Hard lady?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Never before?
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Six?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
So well?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Tim Six o'clock came too soon that night, It always
came too soon.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I think I'd readed that clock more than i'd read
at Ira.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
We couldn't cheat on the clock. But with aarra well,
taking care of Ourra wasn't any problem for an Einstein
because Mark is the one who had to do it.
Mark had to fix it so that airphones are no airphones,
Iarra would be.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Dead as deaf as an addam.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Sometimes I couldn't understand why Mark got so upset over
that part of it. He used to tell me that
I never would understand. I wasn't a musician and I
wasn't dead well, anyway, I had plenty of other things
to feel bad about.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
We boas did.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
We were like two shipwrecked sailors dying of first and
all we got to drink was salt water.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
So you can stand that.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Kind of first.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Just so long.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
Hello, tell her yourself.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Keep on saying, Oh.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
Hasn't he gone yet?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
He just called off his LA appointment. What's he thinks
he's in for the flu or something? Anyways, staying home
all day.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Lots of door baby, keep the germs on.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Mark.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, he was talking about you.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
He said, you decided to cut the course.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
I've taken in about all he can teach me besides
the dose running short.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You're lying, but I'm glad you're lying.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Take me with you.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
We can go away together where New York Chicago doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Follow us, you know.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Then he's the kind of guy who'd track us down
at the end of the earth.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I wouldn't mind.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
I would, I'd mind plenty.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
You mean, your career is a great conduct That makes
me an heal, doesn't it? That makes you like the
rest of them?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
That's all our of things about his career.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
He cares about as much for me as.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Okay, okay, but so far as the law is concerns
your professor Whitmer's wife, there isn't anything we can do.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
About it, isn't there?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
MoU not think it makes sense?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (09:02):
Does it make any sense to you?
Speaker 6 (09:04):
I've thought about it.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
He wanted to hear me say it, though, didn't. She
don't look at me, so you'd be sure I was
crazy about it, Mark me.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I only read it misterious way every time.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
But we do, don't we every time? He well, toy.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Power.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I must apologize for lowering myself to the role of
a knavesdropper. High please, And it's also regrettable that you,
mister Allen, should presume that my affliction would affect my
powers of observation, or, for that matter, my tolerance. You
will kindly make arrangements to leave my house.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
I guess that's about the way it is, Professor.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I've already taken the liberty, or I should say, the
precaution of reserving you a ticket to New York. You
have forty minutes to get to the Pasadian station. I
must talk to you, undoubtedly, my dear, But mister Allan's
going to catch his train. I must go and get
the car.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
You might help mister.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Allen with his packing.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
What time do you have five to eleven?
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Yeah, we can just make up.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
It's not we're not really going.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
To me my music case. No, it's right there on
the piano.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
What about the rest of it?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
John?
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Are you leaving it behind the store?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Your forwarding address?
Speaker 6 (10:15):
At least you can tell me where you're going.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
You heard him New York's mark.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Let me know if if you should change your mind,
I won't have to let you know, Frenzy, I haven't
changed my mind.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
All three left.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I remember looking at the alarm.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
South beside is dead. It's set eleven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
That I thought about what I'd be doing tomorrow at
eleven o'clock, and a day after that, and the next week,
in the next gune, eleven o'clock to all the rest
of my life would be the time he walked out
of that door.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Go on to decry, but I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
I just sat there.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Listening to the clock.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I must have sat without moving for hours. Then I
heard the bell.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
My first thought was that it was on, though automatically
I got up and walked down stairs to.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Answered, Hey, ma'am, you missus woodman, that's right, then Scott,
please headquarters. You know this gentleman here? Oh yes you Uh,

Thoma as long as you need.

Speaker 8 (11:39):
Miss Woods, goodbye, goodbye the time mark.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I thought I was never gonna see you again, didn't she?
Speaker 8 (11:47):
I think I want to sit down here.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Tell me what happened quickly.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
It was pretty terrible. I told him a couple of
times to take it easy. You must have been doing
seventy when we had the main drag. Maybe that's why
I didn't recognize where we were. Anyway, I would have
known we were there, that's close to the crossing until
I heard the bell. He still had time, and he'd
thrown on his brakes when I hollered at him. I
(12:13):
would have been all the time in the world. Maybe
he thought he could make it, or maybe he just
didn't hear me. I don't know, I, I just don't
know it. He was too late to grab the wheel.
It was too late to do anything. That was when
I jumped. The next thing I know, there were cops
all over the place. There was a dock there too,
and been a here hours ago. If I hadn't had
to convince him that I didn't need an ambulance. And
(12:34):
those cops they asked more questions.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Uh, I asked you about aar.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
I rah didn't need a nan go and say their frenzy.
He was dead.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
Law Suspense. Roma Winds are bringing you John.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Bennett in Overturing Two Keys, Roma Wind's presentation tonight in
Radio's outstanding theater Thrills suspense.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Between the acts of suspense. This is Ken Niles for
Roma Wines. These cold, blustery evenings, there's real pleasure in
staying comfortably at home, listening to favorite radio programs, reading
by the fireplace, and enjoying the mellow pleasure of the
fine Roma wine, Yes better tasting Roma California wines, sherry
(13:42):
Port or Muscatel add warmth and friendliness to quiet evenings
and informal entertaining, and because Roma winds taste better. More
Americans and joy Roma than any other wine. Roma winds
taste better because Roma begins with choicest grapes. Then, with
patient skill and America's finest wine making resources, Roma guided
(14:07):
these choice grates unhurriedly to tempting taste perfection. Later, along
with Roma wines of years before, this rich great treasure
awaits election from the world's greatest wine.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Reserves for your pleasure. So share with your friends. These
better tasting Roma wines insist on Roma. Roma Roma wines,
and now Roma wines bring back to our Hollywood soundstage.
Joan Bennett as Frenzy Whitmer but Howard Duff as Mark
(14:41):
Allen in Overture and Two Keys, a tale well calculated
to keep you in suspense.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
I held the inquest of the house.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It took the coroner less than three minutes to return
the verdict accidental death. I thought we should wait, but
Mark said it wouldn't make any difference that people were
going to talk.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
They'd talk anyway.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
So a couple of weeks.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Later we drove down to you. A man got married.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
During the ceremony, I felt.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
A little like Rossy was much more like home.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
And let me tell you, if you ever get married
in one of those humor wedding chapels, you'll feel like
crying too. And the outside there are neon lights to
tell you how they do business day and night. And
on the inside everything is strictly like a funeral parlem,
artificial liies, incense, and of course in north.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
And you friendsy with me, take this manage you're lovely
with it has been to happen hopefuss day forward. I do,
And do you Mark Allan take.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
This woman as you're lovely with it? Rife?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Mark I do?
Speaker 8 (15:54):
I don't?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
I repeat, do you Mark Allan take this woman?
Speaker 7 (15:59):
You having to hold the shape to your bim.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Park I killed him afterwards about stuffing his lines, and
he acted very serious about the whole thing and tried
to make out that he didn't hear that particular part
where I guess every man thinks that those words are
written just to make him nervous, and every woman thinks
they are written just for her.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
At least I know I did that fierce.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
We were as happy as any two people could possibly be,
and then there wasn't that anything changed, But I began to.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Worry about Mark. It was as though he were expecting something.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Sometimes when he thought I wasn't watching him, it almost
seemed as though we were listening to something.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
A couple of nights ago we had the party was
kind of a send off from Mark.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Staper with the bowl, and it was a very all
along this.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You can you've donated my aumiliation, mister Alan right in
the middle of Nimi's dead stine too, And afterward he
had deserved to.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Tell me, so do you wrung with his? It's my
edge by oh, I could.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Have that het up, if you'll excuse me, Madame Tetra,
I think my wife, Darling, we get rid of these
paper eventually.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
I suppose here comes Stanley. I mean he'll know how
to cut it short.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
It was like a good father him is Allen, you
get an important manager and all the important.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Artists visit your house?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Now?
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Can you get them all out of my home?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Although you can't disquad your public mom, what about playing
something sort of wind up in?
Speaker 8 (17:31):
How about the overture?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I won't I know it won't sound on the piano,
but I won't do the thing.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Now where does he go?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
He asked him to wind up the evening, didn't you?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
But how can I make an announcement if it doesn't
tell me what he's going to play?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Of course, it wasn't anything important.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Phone calls it come at a moment like that, never are.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
It was just someone who wanted to wish Mark good
luck tomorrow night, I said, saying he hung up. It
wasn't until I was halfway back up the stairs that
I knew something had gone wrong.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Face, Look, I get what happened?
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Alarmed? Where where's my husband?
Speaker 8 (18:38):
He's upstairs?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
What's the matter with me?
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Nothing at all, my dear.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Nothing at all.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
He was a little over Tiredirs.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You can be missus Allen. It's a plainting the stage
for right, So I was matting him.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I didn't wait for the rest.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
When I found him, he was just lying there, stewing
into the darkness.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
I wanted to hold him in my arms and tell
him that, no matter what, but he was my guy.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
But I didn't.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
I didn't say a word. Mad at that he.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
It seemed like a long.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
While later when I woke up, I didn't run a
wake up.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I was tired, said tired, so tired of waking up.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Hurt me all over, only this time it's hurt hard
than usual.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
And suddenly I was sitting upright in bed with a
chill running straight up my spine.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
The sound came from the music room.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I sawn off of a light, but that didn't tell
me anything. I didn't know already.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Half said with him.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Somehow I got out of bed.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And walked downstairs my cat walk.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
So I was standing outside the music room. Dogs, but
I've been standing at the bar of judgment. I would
have still said the same prayer, but the door.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Would be mocked.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
But a pass.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
The room was in the dark and was still in
a small level. And they are looking like something out
of our heart.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Which was sat my arm. I couldn't see it faces,
all of his hands lying up and down in the lampside.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
It's nothing I work with good, Oh.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Don't, darling.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I had to do it.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
I had to do something. Talk to me, Keep on
talking to me, Just keep talking. Hold my hand, the
hands of darling, Look at your hand. Tell me what's wrong.
I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Everything was fine us all.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
I left the room to answer the phone.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
I didn't hear any phone. What was even morning had
come upstairs? If it hadn't done for your perfume. Even
then I didn't believe it. Then I I came down here,
I played like this, I don't here.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Then I played louder.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I couldn't hear.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Don't darling, don't don't go All right now, it's awesome
late four o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
It's funny. You do it too.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
What should I.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Listen to see if your watch is going? Let's be
a reflex action. Even he did it, Mark always reminded
me of Nelson putting his telescope to his blind eye.
I don't suppose you understand about that. Even if you'd
loved him, you'd never have known what it meant for
a musician.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
So there, Mark, there's only one thing I know I'll
care about. I don't care about anything else in this world.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I just don't care.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
Fran.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yes, you know, don't you.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
Yes, Mark, You've always known, haven't you.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Yes? I suppose I have.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
I'm sorry Fran to you.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Oh, Mark, I told you.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I don't care.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
I don't care about anything but you has an awful
song murder. As I sat watching.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Him walk across the great stage of the Hollywood Bowl,
I wanted to pray, but I knew I hadn't even
the right.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
To do that.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
All I could do was think of what he must
be thinking.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
How he must have.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Tied it to them for a second.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Harry must have slipped the wire on the earphone so I.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Wouldn't notice this. How I must have felt when we
were coming to the railroad crossing and he heard the
warning though and Ira couldn't Arrah couldn't hear anything, nor
could stand it.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
That way he killed my husband because.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
He couldn't hear a little better. U, I have to wait.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Where, let me true, please, please, I have to get through.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
I'm sorry. L Yeah, that's down.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
There's my receiving an agressive I'm his wife.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
Oh of course, this way myself.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Oh thank he's all right, doctor, missus Allen the pressor outside.
You must talk to him.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I heard the bell, darling, it's all right, it's all right.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
I'm here with you, with me.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Then he didn't you.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
Kenner wring his hands at the stage. It was the bell.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
It took us an hour to get him to make
any sense, and then suddenly he was all right, as
all right as.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I had that a statement in my life.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
The doctor was as pleased as an old midwife and
insisted that it was the senator that had done the trick.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I wish he'd been right, but you see, and then
I was beginning to see what.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Was wrong with mar and I knew that all the
doctors in the world wouldn't do him any good, but
I still dared to hope.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
That's some high cool.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
All right, come on, let's go.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Don't you want me to go home?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
I'm okay now. You mustn't cry, baby.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I'm okay now, So that's why I can cry.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Nor.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, Let's go away from here right away, to Canada
or someplace for a year longer if you want.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
Even if you don't even.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Look at a note of music, it doesn't matter. He'll
be right away from everything, and then it won't happen anymore.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
I know it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
He'll only get away right away, even for me.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
If that was home.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Where should we go? Florida?
Speaker 7 (25:16):
There you are, darling.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
You know it's about time you saw something else but
palm trees. That's making New England.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
Up around Vermont or something.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
When I have to get you a sleeping bag your
dire cold.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
I love you me too.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Why don't you let me drive?
Speaker 8 (25:29):
You can't?
Speaker 3 (25:31):

Speaker 5 (26:06):
That's how the music ended.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
They told me today that he was dead before they
go us to the hospital.
