Well, yeah, Lilli, how I want you to drink every drug?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Will it taste nasty up to?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
No? No, not at all sour. Perhaps that's all to
make you feel ever so much better. Hold your nose
if you like, and mind you every drop come along.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
So bad, not very nice.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
You have to take the bitter with the sweet, naughty girl.
Too many treatle tots, eh ah, a touch of gastric annise. Well, well,
we'll be careful of our waistline. Such a pretty waist.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I think I'm getting sleepy.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Good lie down, I'll cover you up. You're so good
to me, doctor. You are a good girl.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Lily, your pitticled.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Stup.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Good night, Lily, sleep well mm hm nae Lily, Lily, Lily.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
That's better.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Good night, Lily. Fifth of May, What a frightful thing.
The upstairs maid passed away in her bed. She must
have fallen asleep whilst reading, and I suppose the gaslight
ignited the curtains she burnt to death, poor little lidly little,
(04:00):
a great loss to missus.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Richard. I shall have to wire her the first thing
in the morning.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Then it will be as well to engage a maid
to replace Lily as soon as possible. After that, we
had better move to a more suitable residence.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But why, dear, why must be moved?
Speaker 6 (04:17):
I've been thinking about it for quite a long time, Mary,
whilst you were away, I made up my mind to
suggest it, and now, after what happened to poor Lily.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
But it means so lovely here, especially for the children.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I know.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
But there is my position too. We owe it to
ourselves to keep up appearances. Now there's a delightful spot
in cabin's space. I'm sure you'll be very happy.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
With it, all right, dear, if you think it for
the best.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Indeed, I do the best for us all.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Oh are you going out, dear?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Yes? I have one or two patients to see.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Well before you go. I did want to talk to
you about the new Ellen.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
It was terribly sweet of you to engage her while
I was with mother. But well, I I rather wonder
whether she's exactly suitable. I mean, she does seem a
little forward.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I hadn't noticed that I find her character excellent, in
her appearance very pleasing.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Well, yes, but Mary, I think.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
You better begin the arrangements for the movie. I shall
be home in time for dinner. Goodbye, my dear ninth
of May. Dear sweet Mary, how she does worry about
every little detail. How can one man be so blessed
(05:44):
with such a loving wife and the family. I must
provide only the best for them. I do hope that
Mary likes the new house. I'm sure that she will
once be settled. Third of June. We are going to
be very happy down here in Canon's place. That children
(06:06):
are adjusting themselves marvelously to their new surroundings. I was
rather aggravated at the insurance company refused to pay compensation
for the belongings of poor unfortunate Lily a few trifling
baubles which couldn't be found in her room. I almost
received the impression that they suspected I was making a
fraudulent claim. I should change companies immediately. Must remember to
(06:29):
prepare tonic for Darling Mary.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
She seems rather tired lately.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Good evening, Doctor, good.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Evening, Ellen, Everything all right today?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Oh, yes, sir, that's good.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
And what has cook prepared for dinner? Eh?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Something I'm sure you like, sir. By the way, sir,
I forgot to thank you for the pretty things.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
You left in my room the other day.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
They must have been all extensive, Not.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
At all, my dear, you're a very obliging girl. The
baubles were nothing at tall?
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Nothing. Where is missus bitcheon upstairs? Sir?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
She's not feeling very well to lie down after tea?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Dear me, I'm strewn up. Oh you're right off, isn't it, Ellen?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yes, sir quite, I.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Should know, shouldn't I? I may have to go out
myself later to see her patient?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Well, yes, sir, right you are Ellen. Perhaps I can
drop you off somewhere.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Eh, thank you, sir, thanks awfully, not at all.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Tell Coca should be ready for supper in ten minutes, sir.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Well?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Well what have we here?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Now? This will never do? What seems to be the trouble? Mary?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
And I don't know. I just don't feel well, nonsense.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Have you been taking the tonic? Yes? Dear, why I
think that you're babing yourself? M here little perhaps out
with it?
Speaker 5 (08:15):
And I really don't feel it all well, Edward, my
headaches and well, I feel sick.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Let's try a spoonful of tonic.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Mun Oh, must I, dear? It doesn't seem to read it?
Do any good?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Now now doctor knows best. Munh. There's a sedative in here.
Help you to relax. The moving must have been too
much for you, I suppose so set up. Dear.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
There must take care of my sweetheart, mustn't I?
Speaker 6 (08:49):
I shall have to go out later. I'll leave instructions
with nurse to put the children to bed. I I
want you to rest, yes, oh what not?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
It's my stomach, I think.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
No, no, now try to rest. Cook will send you
up some hot broth.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Letter. I shan't be late.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
I had a lovely evening, sir.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
I'm so glad. Ellen.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Don't you think that I ought to go around to
the service entrance?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Of course not, silly girl. I walked you home, didn't I?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Ah, before we go in, Ellen, don't you think.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
That someone will see?
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Oh? No, it's it's too dark here.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
You're it tickled?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Mm hmmm? What was that pritchard? Sir?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Oh she's been mad.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Go to your room Ellen immediately, h Mary, Mary, what's
come out of many.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Oh, oh, the.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Pain in mine, my dear, you're working the whole house.
Do try to control yourself?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah, oh, what's the matter with me? H? I'm so sick, Edward.
What is it?
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Or more than likely acute indigestion? You know?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
H h I'm frightened. Well, willa die?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Oh you old girl.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You are, You're as healthy as an ox. I'll stop worrying.
We'll have you fit as a fiddle and writers reign
in no time.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Hm hmmm. Tenth of June. I am at my wits end.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Following her seizure a week ago, Mary seemed to improve,
then she came down again with terrible pain.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
My poor dear girl.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
She has sent for her mother, who is coming over
from Edinburgh. I could not deny her wish, and I
shall be overjoyed having missus Taylor here. Some of our
friends are talking about a consultation, in particular doctor Gardner.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
I've given him my diagnosis.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
He seems to agree that there is some doubt. Our
house is a mournful place these days. I shall be
so happy to see mother. Hello, Mother, welcome, welcome.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
How is my sweetheart?
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Your wife is very very illetterate. I want to talk
to you about her. Yes, what are you up to? Edward?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Your pardon?
Speaker 7 (12:00):
What's the matter with Mary?
Speaker 6 (12:02):
If I knew? Do you think she'd be suffering the
way she is now?
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Listen to me. I telephone doctor Gardner, and.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
This is extremely unethical. Mother.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
If my daughter dies, that'll be more unethical.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Edward.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
She was perfectly well when she visited me last month, perfectly.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Now she is not. Do you find that unusual?
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Doctor Gardner doesn't quite agree with your diagnosis. He feels
that it's not his place to interfere, but that Mary
should have hospital attention.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I think that I may be the better judge.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I can't push it.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
I listen to doctor Gardner, Edward, but I'm staying here
to look after Mary.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Is that clear?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
If you feel it's your place.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
I should be with her day and night. I'm going
to prepare her food, everything.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Oh, I see.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
I'm glad that you do, Edward. It'll make everything so
much better.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
N June.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I feel what an extraordinarily good woman is, missus Taylor.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
It believes me of such.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
A burden, ah, motherhood like a Tigris, protecting her young,
and I would have it no other way.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
I must do something for dear mother while she's.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Here, afternoon, Doctor Richard, lovely day Love.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Then I say I need an ounce of Henley's Tincture
of acronine.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Now, oh, of course, doctor, you must use quite a
lot of that.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
Doctor.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Didn't you buy an ounce last month?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yes, yes, I find it an excellent preparation for intestinal ailments.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Oh glad to know about that, my wife.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I really shouldn't administrate if I were you without medical supervision,
it could be dangerous, quite dangerous.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Auto light is bringing you, Sir Cedric Hardwick in the
Diary of Doctor Prichard Tonight's presentation in Radio's Outstanding Theater
of Thrills Suspense.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Hey, Harlow, that Christopher Columbus is sure a famous name.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Sure it is, mister McSorley, just like Autolite, the world's
largest independent manufacturer of automotive electrical equipment. Why complete autolid
electrical systems are used as original equipment on many leading
makes of our finest cars, trucks and tractors. Numbers was
a fine worker, Harlow, So is the auto light electrical system.
It goes to work the instant you turn on the ignition,
(14:54):
and it keeps working every second your car is in operation.
It works too when you blow your horn, burn play
your radio, turn on your lights, or use your electric
windshield wipers.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Own mighty important, Harlowe, and.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
It is so, friends, treat the electrical system of your
car to a periodic checkup at your car dealers or
at your nearest authorized auto light service station, where you
will find experts that know the electrical system of your car.
Best to locate your nearest authorized auto light service station,
look in the classified section of your telephone directory under
(15:29):
Automobile Electrical Service or Telephone Western Union and ask for
operator twenty five. And remember, from bumper to tail light,
you're always right with auto light. And now auto light
brings back to our Hollywood sound stage. Sir Cedric Hardwick
in Elliott Lewis's production of the Diary of Doctor Pritchard,
(15:52):
A true story well calculated to keep you in suspence.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Two days since Mother Taylor arrived. How splendid she has been.
She idolizes Mary and doesn't move from her side night
or day. I know that she couldn't be in better hands.
For a little while, I wondered whether it might not
be better to send Mary to hospital, But now I
think not. She's already showing signs of improvement. How delighted
(16:30):
I am to see the color returning to her cheeks?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
And how is the patient today?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I feel ever so much better? Thank you, Edward.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
I'm so glad, Edward.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Yes, my dear, give me your hands. Mother has been
talking to me about going to Edinburgh with her, taking
the children as well.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Has she has? She? No? I wonder why do you
think she feels you need a change.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I'm not going. My place is with you. We've never
spoken much of these things, have.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
We, Dear?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I don't well?
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I mean here we are twenty years married. One forgets
that doesn't one? Have you been happy? Have I made
you happy?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
What an odd question?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Oh? No, it isn't. I've tried to make mother see that.
She thinks that I'm not happy with you, but she's wrong.
She's always been wrong. I love you, Edward.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Well, well, that doesn't that smell nice? Your appetite is improving,
my dear. You will be out of bed in no time, Yes,
she will, thanks.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
To you, eh, mother? Are we dining together?
Speaker 7 (17:45):
I'll be down pleasantly good?
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Don't belong, will you? I'm famished?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Fifteenth of June eight pm. I really believe things are
getting better. Mary finished every scrap of her food, and
when I went up to say good night, she look
positively radiant. I must say that dinner with Mother was
a pleasure, and very soon now all will be as
it was before. Mother will be gone. I think I
(18:16):
shall go to the music hall to night. It's the
servant's night off, and I should like to get out
of the house to make a change after the strain
I've been through. I know Mother will take care of Mary.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I did what I could, Pitchard, I tried to reach you,
but couldn't find you. I'm afraid it was too late.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Anyway, Oh horrible, what could have happened? I don't know, Catalepsid.
Do you think Gardner the oldlady has a history? You know? Yes,
it's possible.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Was she all right when you left her this evening?
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Quite? Does Mary know?
Speaker 7 (18:53):
No?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Sleep? Poor girl? Poor poor girl? Be such a shock.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I was on my way over to see how Mary
was getting on friendly visit. I was alarmed when nobody
answered the door, and then missus Taylor somehow manages to
come downstairs brave.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
So I do hope she didn't suffer. She died a
few minutes later. She was in great pain. Prichard frightful, frightful.
I don't know what this will do to Mary. Break
it as gently as you can, won't you? Of course?
Can I make you a whiskey?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
No, thank you, No, I'd better be off.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Yes, yes, I say about the death certificate and catalepsy.
You think, I'm not sure?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
It was rather odd, almost as though as though she
had been drugged.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Drugged, Oh, yes, well that's possible. You know.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
She had been in the habit of taking pills at
night in some years. She called it not a very
good habit. I'm afraid that mighty count for don't.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
You think it might?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Well?
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Please utter? My Condoning says to missus Richard. I'll drop
by in a day or two. Awfully kind of your gardener,
I'll see you to the door.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Sixteenth of June, in the midst of life, we are
in death.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
How sorry a truth in our house? We are in mourning.
A fine old lady has died.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Mary took the news bravely from once again we are
together alone.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Twenty fifth of June. Doctor Gardner made the death Certificaten
mother was buried a week ago. I have been so
occupied with my practice that I have had no chance
of making interest until now. Doctor Gardner has been calling
quite often to inquire about Mary. What a thoughtful man.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
We are fortunate, indeed to have such a friend.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
After the tragic news, Mary has suffered a slight relapse.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Better it was to be expected. Sixth of July. Little
improvement in my dearest Mary's health. Last night a severe attack.
But Gardner is troubled and begs me to send at
the hospital. What can I say. I know that we
(21:26):
are all better off with her at home. It is
for me to use all my medical knowledge to make
things easier. Now I cannot bear her agonies.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
It has gone too long. Hello doctor, good afternoon.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
I have one or two prescriptions for you to feel
very good. Doctor, and ah, I think you can add
half an ounce of Henley's tincture of Aconine's.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Gracious doctor, every indigestion case in the city must come
to you. Ha ha, Oh, well I'm not ready, as
though popular ill, still still the mediciners serve its purpose.
Sixth of July, seven pm.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
I know my diagnosis is sound. I explained it to
doctor Garner and he must have been convinced the children
have gone with their aunts for the holidays.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
It is much better that way. Ellen has taken an
egg flip to Mary. She eats so little nowadays.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Doctor Prichard, Doctor.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Ellen, Ellen, I have asked you to knock.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I'm sorry what I gave the nada I tasted it?
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Why why did you taste that?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I'm sorry? So she asked me to It's awful, burning
like I don't think she should add it.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
It must have been bad or something. I feel awful sick.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Go downstairs, Ellen, She oughtn't to drink it, so rang
now I'll take care of villain.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Go downstairs now, Yes, sir, all right, you only took
a sip in Joe.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Yes, I ask to give you a glass of milk.
You'll be all right. It was Ellen tells me you're
being very naughty.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
You won't take your egg flip and you used to
love them.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
It doesn't taste the way it burns my throat. I
can't drink it.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
What am am I going to do with you? You
must take knowledge and this is so good for you, dear,
please for me. Oh yeah, I'll sit you up. No no, no, no,
no no. I expect the children to behave this way,
but not my Mary. Drink it up.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Oh no, needn't kill me? Please, No, I can't.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
I'm afraid you must.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Oh no, h.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
That's a good girl.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
M sixth of July, eight pm. Tonight, my darling wife,
Mary Jane Pichard passed from this life. Her last words
were of loved, and her eyes was tenderness. How shall
(24:52):
I live without? What nobility and goodness?
Speaker 6 (24:55):
She pro says?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I cannot find words with which to describe my feeling
at this moment. I do hope that Ellen is not indisposed.
Foolish little thing. She might have been very indeed, tasting
what she did, what a tiny waste she has, and
how she loves to stroke my beard? Ah, little Ellen,
(25:17):
Doctor Prichard, Ah, good evening, gardener.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
We've just come from the chemist shop, Prichard.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
We know about your purchases.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
There really tincture of achonine. That's what you're you with,
isn't it. I should have known. I should have known.
That's what killed missus Taylor.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
No, no, doctor gard now take care of this. Your
wife is dead, Doctor Pritchet.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I warn you that anything you say may be taken
down and given in evidence against you.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
I imagine it will be why why did you kill him?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
So many reasons, all things considered, I thought it for
the best.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
You probably wouldn't understand. I shall have to ask you
to come along with the stead.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Oh, yes, yes, of course, I wonder though if you'd
mind waiting for just one moment. I have one last
entry to make in my diary.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Marry my darling and you, mother Taylor.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Soon, quite soon, we shall meet in happier circumstances, in
a far happier place.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
How could it be otherwise?

Speaker 6 (02:10):
So bad, not very nice.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
You have to take the bitter with the sweet, naughty girl.
Too many treatle tots, eh ah, a touch of gastric annise. Well, well,
we'll be careful of our waistline. Such a pretty waist.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I think I'm getting sleepy.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Good lie down, I'll cover you up. You're so good
to me, doctor. You are a good girl.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Lily, your pitticled.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Stup.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Good night, Lily, sleep well mm hm nae Lily, Lily, Lily.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
That's better.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Good night, Lily. Fifth of May, What a frightful thing.
The upstairs maid passed away in her bed. She must
have fallen asleep whilst reading, and I suppose the gaslight
ignited the curtains she burnt to death, poor little lidly little,
(04:00):
a great loss to missus.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Richard. I shall have to wire her the first thing
in the morning.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Then it will be as well to engage a maid
to replace Lily as soon as possible. After that, we
had better move to a more suitable residence.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But why, dear, why must be moved?
Speaker 6 (04:17):
I've been thinking about it for quite a long time, Mary,
whilst you were away, I made up my mind to
suggest it, and now, after what happened to poor Lily.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
But it means so lovely here, especially for the children.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I know.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
But there is my position too. We owe it to
ourselves to keep up appearances. Now there's a delightful spot
in cabin's space. I'm sure you'll be very happy.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
With it, all right, dear, if you think it for
the best.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Indeed, I do the best for us all.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Oh are you going out, dear?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Yes? I have one or two patients to see.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Well before you go. I did want to talk to
you about the new Ellen.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
It was terribly sweet of you to engage her while
I was with mother. But well, I I rather wonder
whether she's exactly suitable. I mean, she does seem a
little forward.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I hadn't noticed that I find her character excellent, in
her appearance very pleasing.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Well, yes, but Mary, I think.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
You better begin the arrangements for the movie. I shall
be home in time for dinner. Goodbye, my dear ninth
of May. Dear sweet Mary, how she does worry about
every little detail. How can one man be so blessed
(05:44):
with such a loving wife and the family. I must
provide only the best for them. I do hope that
Mary likes the new house. I'm sure that she will
once be settled. Third of June. We are going to
be very happy down here in Canon's place. That children
(06:06):
are adjusting themselves marvelously to their new surroundings. I was
rather aggravated at the insurance company refused to pay compensation
for the belongings of poor unfortunate Lily a few trifling
baubles which couldn't be found in her room. I almost
received the impression that they suspected I was making a
fraudulent claim. I should change companies immediately. Must remember to
(06:29):
prepare tonic for Darling Mary.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
She seems rather tired lately.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Good evening, Doctor, good.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Evening, Ellen, Everything all right today?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Oh, yes, sir, that's good.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
And what has cook prepared for dinner? Eh?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Something I'm sure you like, sir. By the way, sir,
I forgot to thank you for the pretty things.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
You left in my room the other day.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
They must have been all extensive, Not.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
At all, my dear, you're a very obliging girl. The
baubles were nothing at tall?
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Nothing. Where is missus bitcheon upstairs? Sir?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
She's not feeling very well to lie down after tea?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Dear me, I'm strewn up. Oh you're right off, isn't it, Ellen?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yes, sir quite, I.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Should know, shouldn't I? I may have to go out
myself later to see her patient?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Well, yes, sir, right you are Ellen. Perhaps I can
drop you off somewhere.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Eh, thank you, sir, thanks awfully, not at all.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Tell Coca should be ready for supper in ten minutes, sir.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Well?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Well what have we here?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Now? This will never do? What seems to be the trouble? Mary?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
And I don't know. I just don't feel well, nonsense.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Have you been taking the tonic? Yes? Dear, why I
think that you're babing yourself? M here little perhaps out
with it?
Speaker 5 (08:15):
And I really don't feel it all well, Edward, my
headaches and well, I feel sick.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Let's try a spoonful of tonic.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Mun Oh, must I, dear? It doesn't seem to read it?
Do any good?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Now now doctor knows best. Munh. There's a sedative in here.
Help you to relax. The moving must have been too
much for you, I suppose so set up. Dear.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
There must take care of my sweetheart, mustn't I?
Speaker 6 (08:49):
I shall have to go out later. I'll leave instructions
with nurse to put the children to bed. I I
want you to rest, yes, oh what not?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
It's my stomach, I think.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
No, no, now try to rest. Cook will send you
up some hot broth.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Letter. I shan't be late.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
I had a lovely evening, sir.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
I'm so glad. Ellen.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Don't you think that I ought to go around to
the service entrance?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Of course not, silly girl. I walked you home, didn't I?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Ah, before we go in, Ellen, don't you think.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
That someone will see?
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Oh? No, it's it's too dark here.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
You're it tickled?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Mm hmmm? What was that pritchard? Sir?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Oh she's been mad.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Go to your room Ellen immediately, h Mary, Mary, what's
come out of many.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Oh, oh, the.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Pain in mine, my dear, you're working the whole house.
Do try to control yourself?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah, oh, what's the matter with me? H? I'm so sick, Edward.
What is it?
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Or more than likely acute indigestion? You know?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
H h I'm frightened. Well, willa die?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Oh you old girl.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You are, You're as healthy as an ox. I'll stop worrying.
We'll have you fit as a fiddle and writers reign
in no time.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Hm hmmm. Tenth of June. I am at my wits end.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Following her seizure a week ago, Mary seemed to improve,
then she came down again with terrible pain.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
My poor dear girl.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
She has sent for her mother, who is coming over
from Edinburgh. I could not deny her wish, and I
shall be overjoyed having missus Taylor here. Some of our
friends are talking about a consultation, in particular doctor Gardner.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
I've given him my diagnosis.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
He seems to agree that there is some doubt. Our
house is a mournful place these days. I shall be
so happy to see mother. Hello, Mother, welcome, welcome.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
How is my sweetheart?
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Your wife is very very illetterate. I want to talk
to you about her. Yes, what are you up to? Edward?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Your pardon?
Speaker 7 (12:00):
What's the matter with Mary?
Speaker 6 (12:02):
If I knew? Do you think she'd be suffering the
way she is now?
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Listen to me. I telephone doctor Gardner, and.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
This is extremely unethical. Mother.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
If my daughter dies, that'll be more unethical.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Edward.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
She was perfectly well when she visited me last month, perfectly.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Now she is not. Do you find that unusual?
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Doctor Gardner doesn't quite agree with your diagnosis. He feels
that it's not his place to interfere, but that Mary
should have hospital attention.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I think that I may be the better judge.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I can't push it.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
I listen to doctor Gardner, Edward, but I'm staying here
to look after Mary.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Is that clear?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
If you feel it's your place.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
I should be with her day and night. I'm going
to prepare her food, everything.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Oh, I see.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
I'm glad that you do, Edward. It'll make everything so
much better.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
N June.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I feel what an extraordinarily good woman is, missus Taylor.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
It believes me of such.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
A burden, ah, motherhood like a Tigris, protecting her young,
and I would have it no other way.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
I must do something for dear mother while she's.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Here, afternoon, Doctor Richard, lovely day Love.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Then I say I need an ounce of Henley's Tincture
of acronine.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Now, oh, of course, doctor, you must use quite a
lot of that.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
Doctor.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Didn't you buy an ounce last month?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yes, yes, I find it an excellent preparation for intestinal ailments.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Oh glad to know about that, my wife.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I really shouldn't administrate if I were you without medical supervision,
it could be dangerous, quite dangerous.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Auto light is bringing you, Sir Cedric Hardwick in the
Diary of Doctor Prichard Tonight's presentation in Radio's Outstanding Theater
of Thrills Suspense.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Hey, Harlow, that Christopher Columbus is sure a famous name.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Sure it is, mister McSorley, just like Autolite, the world's
largest independent manufacturer of automotive electrical equipment. Why complete autolid
electrical systems are used as original equipment on many leading
makes of our finest cars, trucks and tractors. Numbers was
a fine worker, Harlow, So is the auto light electrical system.
It goes to work the instant you turn on the ignition,
(14:54):
and it keeps working every second your car is in operation.
It works too when you blow your horn, burn play
your radio, turn on your lights, or use your electric
windshield wipers.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Own mighty important, Harlowe, and.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
It is so, friends, treat the electrical system of your
car to a periodic checkup at your car dealers or
at your nearest authorized auto light service station, where you
will find experts that know the electrical system of your car.
Best to locate your nearest authorized auto light service station,
look in the classified section of your telephone directory under
(15:29):
Automobile Electrical Service or Telephone Western Union and ask for
operator twenty five. And remember, from bumper to tail light,
you're always right with auto light. And now auto light
brings back to our Hollywood sound stage. Sir Cedric Hardwick
in Elliott Lewis's production of the Diary of Doctor Pritchard,
(15:52):
A true story well calculated to keep you in suspence.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Two days since Mother Taylor arrived. How splendid she has been.
She idolizes Mary and doesn't move from her side night
or day. I know that she couldn't be in better hands.
For a little while, I wondered whether it might not
be better to send Mary to hospital, But now I
think not. She's already showing signs of improvement. How delighted
(16:30):
I am to see the color returning to her cheeks?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
And how is the patient today?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I feel ever so much better? Thank you, Edward.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
I'm so glad, Edward.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Yes, my dear, give me your hands. Mother has been
talking to me about going to Edinburgh with her, taking
the children as well.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Has she has? She? No? I wonder why do you
think she feels you need a change.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I'm not going. My place is with you. We've never
spoken much of these things, have.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
We, Dear?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I don't well?
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I mean here we are twenty years married. One forgets
that doesn't one? Have you been happy? Have I made
you happy?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
What an odd question?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Oh? No, it isn't. I've tried to make mother see that.
She thinks that I'm not happy with you, but she's wrong.
She's always been wrong. I love you, Edward.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Well, well, that doesn't that smell nice? Your appetite is improving,
my dear. You will be out of bed in no time, Yes,
she will, thanks.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
To you, eh, mother? Are we dining together?
Speaker 7 (17:45):
I'll be down pleasantly good?
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Don't belong, will you? I'm famished?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Fifteenth of June eight pm. I really believe things are
getting better. Mary finished every scrap of her food, and
when I went up to say good night, she look
positively radiant. I must say that dinner with Mother was
a pleasure, and very soon now all will be as
it was before. Mother will be gone. I think I
(18:16):
shall go to the music hall to night. It's the
servant's night off, and I should like to get out
of the house to make a change after the strain
I've been through. I know Mother will take care of Mary.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I did what I could, Pitchard, I tried to reach you,
but couldn't find you. I'm afraid it was too late.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Anyway, Oh horrible, what could have happened? I don't know, Catalepsid.
Do you think Gardner the oldlady has a history? You know? Yes,
it's possible.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Was she all right when you left her this evening?
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Quite? Does Mary know?
Speaker 7 (18:53):
No?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Sleep? Poor girl? Poor poor girl? Be such a shock.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I was on my way over to see how Mary
was getting on friendly visit. I was alarmed when nobody
answered the door, and then missus Taylor somehow manages to
come downstairs brave.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
So I do hope she didn't suffer. She died a
few minutes later. She was in great pain. Prichard frightful, frightful.
I don't know what this will do to Mary. Break
it as gently as you can, won't you? Of course?
Can I make you a whiskey?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
No, thank you, No, I'd better be off.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Yes, yes, I say about the death certificate and catalepsy.
You think, I'm not sure?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
It was rather odd, almost as though as though she
had been drugged.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Drugged, Oh, yes, well that's possible. You know.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
She had been in the habit of taking pills at
night in some years. She called it not a very
good habit. I'm afraid that mighty count for don't.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
You think it might?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Well?
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Please utter? My Condoning says to missus Richard. I'll drop
by in a day or two. Awfully kind of your gardener,
I'll see you to the door.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Sixteenth of June, in the midst of life, we are
in death.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
How sorry a truth in our house? We are in mourning.
A fine old lady has died.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Mary took the news bravely from once again we are
together alone.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Twenty fifth of June. Doctor Gardner made the death Certificaten
mother was buried a week ago. I have been so
occupied with my practice that I have had no chance
of making interest until now. Doctor Gardner has been calling
quite often to inquire about Mary. What a thoughtful man.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
We are fortunate, indeed to have such a friend.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
After the tragic news, Mary has suffered a slight relapse.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Better it was to be expected. Sixth of July. Little
improvement in my dearest Mary's health. Last night a severe attack.
But Gardner is troubled and begs me to send at
the hospital. What can I say. I know that we
(21:26):
are all better off with her at home. It is
for me to use all my medical knowledge to make
things easier. Now I cannot bear her agonies.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
It has gone too long. Hello doctor, good afternoon.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
I have one or two prescriptions for you to feel
very good. Doctor, and ah, I think you can add
half an ounce of Henley's tincture of Aconine's.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Gracious doctor, every indigestion case in the city must come
to you. Ha ha, Oh, well I'm not ready, as
though popular ill, still still the mediciners serve its purpose.
Sixth of July, seven pm.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
I know my diagnosis is sound. I explained it to
doctor Garner and he must have been convinced the children
have gone with their aunts for the holidays.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
It is much better that way. Ellen has taken an
egg flip to Mary. She eats so little nowadays.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Doctor Prichard, Doctor.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Ellen, Ellen, I have asked you to knock.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I'm sorry what I gave the nada I tasted it?
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Why why did you taste that?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I'm sorry? So she asked me to It's awful, burning
like I don't think she should add it.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
It must have been bad or something. I feel awful sick.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Go downstairs, Ellen, She oughtn't to drink it, so rang
now I'll take care of villain.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Go downstairs now, Yes, sir, all right, you only took
a sip in Joe.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Yes, I ask to give you a glass of milk.
You'll be all right. It was Ellen tells me you're
being very naughty.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
You won't take your egg flip and you used to
love them.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
It doesn't taste the way it burns my throat. I
can't drink it.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
What am am I going to do with you? You
must take knowledge and this is so good for you, dear,
please for me. Oh yeah, I'll sit you up. No no, no, no,
no no. I expect the children to behave this way,
but not my Mary. Drink it up.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Oh no, needn't kill me? Please, No, I can't.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
I'm afraid you must.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Oh no, h.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
That's a good girl.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
M sixth of July, eight pm. Tonight, my darling wife,
Mary Jane Pichard passed from this life. Her last words
were of loved, and her eyes was tenderness. How shall
(24:52):
I live without? What nobility and goodness?
Speaker 6 (24:55):
She pro says?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I cannot find words with which to describe my feeling
at this moment. I do hope that Ellen is not indisposed.
Foolish little thing. She might have been very indeed, tasting
what she did, what a tiny waste she has, and
how she loves to stroke my beard? Ah, little Ellen,
(25:17):
Doctor Prichard, Ah, good evening, gardener.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
We've just come from the chemist shop, Prichard.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
We know about your purchases.
