1
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:14.320
Oh my, so good of you
to come back. I know it must

2
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:19.839
be a pain having to dial through
your radio and twisting and twisting hoping you'll

3
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.800
find me here, But well you
have, and I'm thrilled to see you.

4
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.320
Please, please have a seat and
get comfortable. Oh yes, yes,

5
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:29.800
yes, yes, oh no no
no no, don't even worry about

6
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.320
them. No no, no no
no, they mean you no harm.

7
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.759
And they can't get in here anyway, not through the walls anyway. There

8
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:42.960
at least a foot thick concrete.
Was that. No, I didn't make

9
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.759
them myself, but sometimes it feels
like I did. Oh what's that?

10
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.399
Well tonight, I figure you sit
in my favorite change. I'll make you

11
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.719
a hot cup of tea because it
is it is quite chilly out there,

12
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:03.359
and we'll enjoy this little story boys
enjoyed. Enjoys reminds me of enjoying you

13
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.840
visiting me. It's called let me
see your face. Yes, yes,

14
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.079
Oh it's a creepy one, yes, but but that's what makes us feel

15
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:17.200
alive. Right. Well, we'll
be listening to this one together after we,

16
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.120
of course, of course, sell
you into something. You know,

17
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:45.280
even where I am a money stilly
still talks you know past night. There

18
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.319
are certain people, often well enough, like Genial Soul, someone has always

19
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.840
glad to meet, yet who have
the faculty of disappearing without being missed.

20
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.120
Practically, it was one of them. It wasn't until his name was mentioned

21
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.120
casually that evening at the store gates, but most of us remembered. We

22
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.799
haven't seen him for the last year
or two. Me yes, I remember

23
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.199
I was talking to all crush at
the time. Oh, he's a mostly

24
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.479
seed. I always liked him with
that career. He didn't j' b completely

25
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.120
out of things last year or two. He's been living very quietly with his

26
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.439
people in Norfolk. I heard from
him any the other days. A matter

27
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:24.120
of fact, I shouldn't just faced
himself. He was rather a lamb in

28
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.000
his way. I don't that shiny
black hair of his, which always maybe

29
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:35.080
think of fat and leather. It's
as white as the ceiling now, son,

30
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.319
I said, it's as white as
the ceiling now. Oh no,

31
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:43.520
no, no, no, we're
being a diamond. I mean, Simon

32
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:51.360
Crutchley. But that's lovely, sly. Care what what happened? Did you

33
00:02:51.400 --> 00:03:01.639
ever know? This breakdown? Something
like that? Biotechs the new Soak and

34
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:23.960
pre washed Powder Presents Beyond Midnight by
Michael McKay. In this series of programs,

35
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.599
ladies, it's our intention to talk
to you about biotechs and promoted to

36
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.120
you for the laundry. We've made
claims that biotechs will get rid of the

37
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.960
stubborness stands just by soaking. I
dare say, like others, you feel

38
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.680
a bit skeptical about these claims,
and so we've been collecting letters from ladies

39
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.280
who use biotechts just to quote to
you from time to time in order to

40
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.000
authenticate our advertisement. And missus o'duff
for beechfordt Sepoint in the Cape Broton said

41
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.400
that biotechs is a very welcome product
for the household. Biotechs has a unique

42
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.639
quality that it does what it claims
to do. Missus Dove phillis by saying

43
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.120
I have proved your claims about biotechs
and am delighted with the results. And

44
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.360
then missus Reader Stewart of Hans straight
Abo Avenue, Littleton Frans Far said,

45
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.879
we have tried your biotechs for all
our children's clothes and also white under clothing,

46
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.000
and we're absolutely amazed at the change
in their appearance. And I can

47
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.319
assure you, said Missus Stewart,
that I will be a regular user of

48
00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:38.800
biotechs. So by biotechs for yourself
and your laundry. Doc Cole, is

49
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.839
how good of your hand nature?
Your cad like this? So our ways

50
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:46.319
lie in the same direction. There
was a method in my mad so prance,

51
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.000
old man. I wanted to ask
you about Crutchley. Oh, I

52
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:59.519
smell a story, Yes, a
queer, another terrible story. There's even

53
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:06.959
one bit that he couldn't all wouldn't
tell, so no one but he knows

54
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.199
what the sight was that sent him
off his head for six months and turned

55
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:16.879
his hair as white as snow.
The night's young. Yet I got to

56
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:43.319
my place, he would drink.
I'll tell you all I know. Anyway,

57
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.839
he was greatly interested in Joan of
Arc music, and decided to go

58
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.279
over to France to work, as
it were, on the spot. I

59
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:55.680
don't know if you liked roma.
Gradually was delighted with it. He found

60
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:01.240
a hotel practically undiscovered by the English
and the American Davignor. It stands halfway

61
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.759
down one of those old world streets, near the Garde la Rouge and dark.

62
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.439
But she liked it immediately and decided
to stay. It was out of

63
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.480
season. There were plenty of rooms
to the hotel will Manie a few slepts.

64
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:23.199
Crutchy then had a choice of rooms
on the first floor. Meet here,

65
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:33.360
M have the seeing ah, the
little garden out here, oh here,

66
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.040
okay, very old. It is
built until the side of the inn.

67
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.639
The garden and the gardens, a
story about the street. I care

68
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.120
for this, you know, my
son, what is there? But that's

69
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:54.519
a plain three, isn't that?
Yeah? I think it is pure mind

70
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.759
him some of being a little square
in the court. Yes, sleeze,

71
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.120
I should like the joom. Please
arrange my luggage to be sent up.

72
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.720
I am all right, easy and
dowden of the ear the face to work.

73
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.959
It never occurred to our friend that
a square enclosed on all sides by

74
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.560
brick and almost completely a style of
sunlight would be something of an unhealthy place.

75
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.959
He was quite fascinated, and when
the next day he took pen and

76
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.879
writing materials, and, sitting on
one of the decrepid paint feeling seats,

77
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.759
he started on his study as the
Maid of or Leo. To begin with,

78
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.959
his writing was n't successful, I
think, Crutchley and withstood the almost

79
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:36.959
unnatural silence for peace. Instead,
the lack of noise bred in him an

80
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:43.600
indefidable restlessness. It was almost a
relief to break off from his labors and

81
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:59.439
go out into the little town.
Crutchley had five days at the hotel,

82
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:07.600
I fruitless days as far as work
went. When something strange happened, it

83
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.000
was his habit to undress in the
dark, because his window was overlooked by

84
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.160
dozens of others. One night,
he was smoking and stepping into his Pajamatrisers

85
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:30.000
when he wandered over the window and
looked at M. M. Paint.

86
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:43.879
She might be kind of jade.
He's steering a draw. He looked down

87
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:50.720
to the old green seat where he
tried to work only that morning, with

88
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.360
a faint, unreasonable thrillle and the
slight tingling of the nostrils, he realized

89
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:03.080
that someone was sitting there. Hmm, it's a woman, Yes, other

90
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:09.120
one, she said, with her
head turned away. One arm was thrown

91
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.399
along the slooping back of the seat. He said that her attitude was one

92
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:20.320
of extreme dejection, of abject and
complete despair. When this time of night,

93
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:28.960
let's see, I could never see
her face. That's even from one

94
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:41.759
of the windows on the western side
scarce Ringhi is completely Hm, you can

95
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:48.399
never know the funds. Another fa
many people before in a recountry and uh,

96
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.840
tragedy. You're a romantic. Probably
one of the chambermaids have a different

97
00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:03.840
in waiter. Yah. She didn't
look. And then he went to bed,

98
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.240
but made no effort to sleep.
Instead, he lay there, his

99
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.879
mind full of a woman and her
attitude upon the old leaning seat. He

100
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.200
had a definite and urgent temptation to
go out and look at her, to

101
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.360
use force, if necessary, in
turning her face so that he might look

102
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:33.600
into her eyes. Finally he could
bear it no longer. Mm, she's

103
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:39.480
gone, as I expect to sit
the wrong mind, did you crutch me?

104
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:13.360
Yes? A good morning? You
sleep well? He gets up.

105
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.919
Well, I'll tell you what you
mean to ask you for the last week.

106
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:24.879
That can I have a harder pillow? A pillow harder? I'm sorry.

107
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.240
My friend is about as good as
my little Wayne. And don't speak

108
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:33.919
that. It's all the pillow.
This thing here harder? Yeah? Thanks?

109
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.720
Oh, one more thing. Who's
the lady who sits out there in

110
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.799
the garden made at night? I
mean I say it sits which was here

111
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.720
last night anyway, somehow, though
I did have the feeling she might go

112
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:50.200
there often. Mm hmm. Who
is she? That sort of sad looking

113
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.559
woman? The trainer maid turned towards
the window. Her friend saw a rapid

114
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.000
movement of her right hand. It
was done very quickly, just the touch

115
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.200
of her forefinger on her brow and
a rapid something of fingers that oppressed.

116
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:11.320
But he knew she'd made the sign
of the cross. Isn't the ladies keniny

117
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:33.799
monsieur monsieur thing mistaken when ye did
coffee of the English team? Darling,

118
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.480
Let's go out and paint the down
red. But what about your headache?

119
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.519
Oh that's gone. Grand Pire headache
powder did the trick, Grandpa. Headache

120
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.519
powders killed pain, sooth, strained
nerves, and lip depression. Grand Par

121
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.080
headache powders are extra affective because they
have a triple action. Grand Pi headache

122
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:56.679
powders were extra fast because they dissolved
almost immediately. Get past detectively from any

123
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:05.080
pain or pain. Get grand Par
headache powder. Ah, Grandpa, that's

124
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.440
all you have to do for an
hour to you fine as you when you're

125
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:18.240
use new biotechs, amazing new biotechs
acts with a biological action. The stubby

126
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.000
stains and loosened. That new biotech
is great for all textiles and synthetics,

127
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:28.240
whites and colors. It contains no
bleach. Get amazing new biotechs today and

128
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:39.360
let soaking do the washing. Do
one list, monsieur. Thank you here,

129
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:46.440
thanks. Are you quite comfortable in
your room? Sir? Quite?

130
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.840
Thank you. There is a very
pleasant room in the front, sir.

131
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.679
It's quite so big, and then
there is the sun. Perhaps you like

132
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:03.159
it better, sir, wine there
please as you pronounce your Pierre uh Le

133
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:09.039
Crombier dames. Oh, my good
choice. Very good the room, sir

134
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:11.960
in the front. Yeah, no, I shouldn't get a wink of sleep.

135
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.320
See that none of your meltor traffic
seems to be equipped with sciences,

136
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.320
with jams, medal horns and market
cars bumping about all over the place across

137
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.840
those cobbles. I should never give
me. Please, very good, monsieur.

138
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.960
But in the trade of something cleer, she made me talking to him.

139
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:39.879
Obviously you know what's wrong, but
they think is wrong crudchally. I

140
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.600
forgot about it for a little while
and tucked into the very excellent food they

141
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.600
served at Hotel Devin Europe. When
they had ways to return to his table,

142
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.320
though with wine, he reopened the
socket. Why do you want me

143
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:58.200
to change my room? I do
not wish for you to change your own

144
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.120
if you are satisfied, monsieur.
When I am not satisfied, I say,

145
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:05.879
sir, why do you think I
may not be? I only wish

146
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.679
for you to be more comfortable.
Sir. There is no sun behind the

147
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:15.639
house. It is better to be
aware of the sun comes sometimes. Besides,

148
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:26.519
I think monsieur is one who sees
the headwaiter's master remark seemed cryptic,

149
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.600
but our friend let it go.
He didn't feel like discussing the sad lady

150
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.519
he had seen that any length.
With fear. During the afternoon leaving,

151
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.200
Crutchley had tried to work. He
was incapable of concentration, though he knew,

152
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.360
and he was angry with himself because
he knew that he was eating out

153
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.240
his patience until night came, in
the hope of seeing once more that still

154
00:15:50.360 --> 00:16:18.840
figure of despair in the garden that
she had before he even reached the window,

155
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.240
he knew he would see her sitting
in the same place. He was

156
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:45.279
unable to explain even to himself why
he knew it was midnight. She was

157
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:51.000
there as before, and Crashly felt
his eagerness mingled with an indescribable fear.

158
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.000
He seemed to hear a cry of
morning from the honest, workaday world into

159
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:57.000
which he had been born. He
said, it was like starting on a

160
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:00.759
voyage, feeling no motion from the
sh ship, and it being suddenly aware

161
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:06.079
of a spreading space of water between
the vessel and the key. Madam,

162
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:25.599
look at me, madam, let
me see your face. Then I must

163
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:42.519
come to you. Hyeah, where
are you going, sir? The devil's

164
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:48.240
got to be with you, the
devil behind miss you. I think perhaps

165
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.759
you has something to do with it. You will please have the goodness to

166
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.880
return to your room. No,
not the room which you have left,

167
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.000
sir, That is not a good
room. Come with me. I should

168
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.160
show you another. Do you mean
by interfering with me? Either a prison

169
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.839
or an asylum? And got into
the garden for a very pressure before I

170
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.279
go to sleep. That serve is
impossible. The air of the garden is

171
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.079
not good at night. Besides,
the doors are locked, and the patron

172
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:19.240
you have the keys, say your
blasted instant that's what you are. Tomorrow

173
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.400
I'll report you. I can get
get I'll get out of my way.

174
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:29.000
Deep because I lea my room at
midnight, mine, I miss the garden

175
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:41.839
from my window. Do you think
jury man Monsieur a Bondu has sent me

176
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.359
to save you. I have wait
tonight because I know you must try to

177
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.599
enter the garden. Have I your
permission to enter your room with you and

178
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:59.920
speak with you a little while.
It's a beglamn if you must, hm

179
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.640
hm. I do not think she
is there, sir, because I am

180
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:18.039
here and I do not see.
Monsieur is the one who sees, says

181
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.640
I tell him this morning, but
you will not see her when he is

182
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:29.480
with one who does not see h
talking about who is she? Who she

183
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.640
is? I cannot say, sir, And the headwaiter blessed himself with quick

184
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:40.400
nervous fingers. But who she was
I can perhaps tell you. You need

185
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.640
to try and tell me. She
is what they call a ghost, apparition

186
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.279
or some blasted things. It doesn't
matter what one calls her, Monsieur.

187
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:55.200
She is here sometimes for certain who
are able to see her. Monsieur wishes

188
00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:02.440
very much to see her face Monsieur
must not see it. There was one

189
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:08.160
who looked five years ago, and
another perhaps seven minute. The first he

190
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:15.680
may die after two or three days. The other, Uh, he's still

191
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:22.359
mad. That is why I come
to save you, monsieur. There was

192
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:29.640
in this town a notary of the
name the Boy. And in a village

193
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.279
halfway from here to thee is a
grand chapeau in which they'll lived the lady

194
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:40.559
in gen Fee with her father and
mother. And the lady was very beautiful,

195
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:48.559
but not very good. Monsieur,
umh no one, But I I

196
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:56.880
don't quite see what this has to
you. Will please again. The boy

197
00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.200
fell in love with her. I
think she loved him too, better as

198
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:06.599
all the others. So he made
publication for her hand, but he was

199
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:11.039
bouchoised and she was aristocrat. She
had not so very much money, and

200
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:17.559
the application it was refused. And
so they find for her another husband,

201
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.400
who she loved not and she finds
herself someone else, and there is divorce,

202
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.559
and she have many lovers. For
she was very beautiful, but not

203
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:33.000
so very good. For ten years, perhaps she make her beauty to make

204
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:37.319
slaves of men, and one he
made to kill himself because of her.

205
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.960
But she does not mind. And
all the time Monsieur Levoyne he does not

206
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:49.640
marry because he could not love another
woman. But at last this lady,

207
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.359
she have a rightful accident. It
is a lamp which blow up at her

208
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:02.039
face. In those days Charles did
not know how to make new features.

209
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:07.720
Who it was rightful missie. She
has been so lovely, and now she

210
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:15.079
has nothing left except just the eyes. And she go about wearing a long

211
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:19.839
thick veil because she has become terrible
to see, and her lovers they are

212
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:25.279
no longer love, and she have
no husband because she have been the bars

213
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:38.400
then, but happen you mean,
she's the well, Monsieur lebar He writes

214
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.400
to her father, and once more
he may offer for her hand. The

215
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.640
father he is willing, because she's
no longer very young, and she is

216
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:51.119
terrible to see. But the father, she's a man of honor, monsieur,

217
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:56.079
and he insists. Let Monsieur le
Baron see her face before he decided

218
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.960
if he still wish her in marrish
meeting is arranged and her father and her

219
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:06.160
mother bring her here to this hotel. The lady come with him, wearing

220
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:10.759
her thick veil. She insists to
see Monsieur le Barn alone, so she

221
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:18.240
wait out there in the garten.
Love is not always what do we think

222
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:25.039
it. Perhaps Missieur Lebry think all
the time that his love goes deeper than

223
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:29.880
her beauty. And when you see
her triff changed face, he finds out

224
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.960
the truth. Perhaps when she put
aside the veil, she see that he

225
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:41.000
flings. But mister Lebray walk out
alone, and she stays sitting on the

226
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:47.440
seat down there, And presently her
mother and her father come, but she

227
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:56.720
does not speak or move, and
in her hand find a little empty bottles.

228
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:07.079
She all her life she lived her
love. The boy is the last

229
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.720
of our lovers. When he no
longer love than that is the last of

230
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:17.680
everything she has, falling the bottle
with her in case he does not love?

231
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:30.240
Shall it happened a long time ago? And now perhaps Monsieur understand why

232
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:36.200
perhaps it is better to sleep in
the front of the building tonight than change

233
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:42.240
his hotel tomorrow. Then why does
she can make er? How do we

234
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:48.880
norm as you she's a thing of
evil. When her face was lovely while

235
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:53.079
she lived, she used it to
destroy me. Now she still use it

236
00:24:53.160 --> 00:25:02.559
to destroy But otherwise she has some
great evil power, which d are those

237
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.960
who can't see her? If you, they must not rest until they have

238
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:18.720
looked upon her face. And that
face is not good to look upon.

239
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:30.279
Ah. Never drink handy over Ah. No thanks, listen, that can't

240
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:37.200
be all for Crutchley. But that
can't be all. No, it isn't

241
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:42.960
quite all. I wish that it
were. Cratchley was scared. He changed

242
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:47.119
his room and the next day he
moved out. He went to another hotel,

243
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:49.720
tried to work, but couldn't the
horror of the thing he had a

244
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.880
fascination for him, And the next
night, as it started to get done,

245
00:25:55.559 --> 00:26:00.640
he asked himself why he shouldn't go
and look, he was compelled.

246
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:07.119
I shouldn't I go? See he
camared me? And if I look from

247
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:12.519
a distance, he didn't realize that
she was drawing him, drawing him to

248
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:19.279
her. He went to the hotel, Hotel de Vinue. He walked around

249
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.079
the building twice and then walked straight
in through the swing doors as if he

250
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:25.960
still stayed there. He went to
the first floor and find one of the

251
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.119
doors that led into the walled garden. It was late and the door was

252
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:41.279
unlocked. He just stood there,
staring in horror at that which sat upon

253
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:48.759
the seat. He was drawn like
a muff to a candle flame. Madam,

254
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:56.599
Please look at me, adam,
let me let me see your face,

255
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:07.359
and please look at me. I
know your story and I pity you

256
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:17.599
allow me to see your face.
He was lost, he knew it.

257
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:52.799
The power was too strong for him. He bent over her. What I

258
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:59.680
mean, that's the part crutch we
can't really describe. There weren't any features

259
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:06.240
in her face. But it wasn't
just that. Something much worse, much

260
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:12.880
more subtle, something happened, I
know before his sense left him, thoughtever

261
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:19.119
he couldn't tell me. He's getting
better, though, nerves still in shreds,

262
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:26.559
of course, and he has one
or two peculiar versions. What are

263
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:49.079
they? He can't bear to be
touched or to hear anybody laugh, you

264
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:53.680
know, Oh yes, yes,
please have some more tea, please please.

265
00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:57.920
Thinking about looking into one's face makes
me think a lot about when I

266
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:03.200
was with a boy. One of
the most amusing things we could do was

267
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.200
head out to the wax museums and
look at the faces. Wow, they

268
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.160
weren't really faces. They were meant
to look like faces, which I found

269
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.799
being chilling, to say the least. There's some things so deeply in our

270
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:25.880
human minds about a face that isn't
really a face, something about being fooled

271
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:32.559
into thinking our friends are there with
us when in reality, well we don't.

272
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.559
We don't really know what they are
with. Yes, it makes me

273
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.039
stay up at night, of course. Of course it's not like I have

274
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:42.960
any other options anyway. Oh no, no, no, don't you worry

275
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:45.759
about that. No, no,
We're going to head to the waxwork.

276
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:49.640
I have this one picked out just
for you, for you. I know

277
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:55.200
you're going to enjoy it. So
relax, relax, let's have a little

278
00:29:55.279 --> 00:30:00.720
fear, help us feel alive.
Well after they tell you something, of

279
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.039
course, Well, things, as
much as they change, they stay the

280
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:14.519
same. Data say suspense and the
producer of radio is outstanding theater of thrills,

281
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.759
the master of mystery and Adventure,
William M. Robeson. There is

282
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:23.480
an old definition which describes the theater
as a plank on two barrels and a

283
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:30.519
passion. Analogously, we might describe
radio drama as a microphone, a voice,

284
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:36.480
and a story. Tonight we have
all three and little else. Little

285
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:38.599
else is needed when the voice belongs
to an actor. The statue of Herbert

286
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:44.960
Marshall. We present him without supporting
players, without sound effects, and no

287
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.559
more than the usual musical trimmings.
His voice is all that's needed to strike

288
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.960
terror to your heart. So send
the more impressionable small children out of the

289
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:59.680
room. Then the lights settle back
and listen as mister Marshall stars in hey

290
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:04.599
Age's chilling story the wax Work,
which begins in just a moment. Here's

291
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:08.319
Frankie Lane. I never feel like

fine product of growth laboratories to get rid

pitch regularly is guaranteed to keep unsightly
Dandriff away forever. Apply Fetch before wedding

00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:57.759

embarrassing Dandrif's gone. At the same

Dan with remover shampoo today and now the

305
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:19.680
waxwork starring mister Herbert Marshall a tale
well calculated to keep you in suspense,

306
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:30.920
while the uniformed attendance of Melono's rexworks. While ushering the last tradulars to the

307
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:35.960
exit, the manager sat in his
office into viewing Raymond Shuston, a young

308
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:42.640
journalist somewhat down in his luck.
The manager was speaking it used to be

309
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:46.200
said years ago that Madame Tussau's would
give a man a hundred pounds for sleeping

310
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:51.119
alone in the chamber of horrors.
I hope you don't think that we have

311
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:53.880
made any such offer. Mister Houston. By the way, what is your

312
00:32:53.960 --> 00:33:00.960
paper I am financing at President Crevack. I should find no difficulty in getting

313
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.799
the story printed. The Morning Echo
would use it like a shot A night

314
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:12.799
with mariners murderers very well, Miss
Susan, I must warning it's no small

315
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.319
ordeal that you're proposing to undertake.
I own I shouldn't care to take it

316
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:21.599
on. I should hate having to
spend the night alone. And the murderers

317
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:29.599
then why, Well, those Waxworths
represent the lowest and most appalling types of

318
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.599
humanity. There are an atmosphere and
places on prisons, and if you are

319
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:37.160
susceptible to atmosphere, I warn you
that you are in for a very uncomfortable

320
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:42.920
night. Juson had known that from
the moment the idea had first occurred to

321
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:46.920
him. His soul sickened at the
prospect. But here was a chance not

322
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:52.519
to be missed, the price of
a special story in the Morning Echo decides

323
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:54.079
if he wrote the story well,
it might lead to an offer of regular

324
00:33:54.119 --> 00:34:00.200
employment. The manager smiled, arose, and I think the last of the

325
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:06.359
people must have gone by now.
Oh. One condition I'm afraid I must

326
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.079
impose on you. I was ask
you not to smoke. We had a

327
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:13.760
fire scare down there this evening.
I don't know who gave the alarm,

328
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:16.599
but whoever it was was a false
one watchman. There were very few people

329
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.920
down there at the time. Oh
there might have been a penny. And

330
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:24.159
now, if you're ready, I'll
take you down to the murderer's den.

331
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:42.719
In a moment, we continue with
the second act of suspense. Here comes

332
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:50.800
Elmer Blurt, world's lowest pressure salesman. Nobody home aloholpe it says here JP

333
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.679
Pulham danished you wouldn't want to buy
a new nineteen fifty nine Rambler with you,

334
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:58.599
Doc, You are a lucky man. I just happened to have a

335
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.280
vacancy. Yes it out, Yeah, do open wide. Ah, that's

336
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:05.199
right. You know you don't have
to sell me on the fifty nine Rambler.

337
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:07.880
It's first in economy, first in
sales games and no wonder Rambler has

338
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:12.960
the best of both big car rooms, small car economy. Oh relax,

339
00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:16.719
can't you salesman ever? Stop selling? Ramler's got quite an idea with that

340
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:22.920
personalized comfort, independently adjustable front seats, adjustable headress, easiest parking and handling

341
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:25.639
in America. Fifty nine Rambress so
terrific. It makes you want to put

342
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:32.000
your foot right down on the Sorry, now that didn't hurt it. Oh

343
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:35.960
gosh, well ocker, no,
that's my lower plate you've been drilling.

344
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:40.519
Rambler continues to pass car after car, and sales in state after state.

345
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:45.920
Rambler now out sells all but two
other makes. Come see Wide Drive,

346
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:52.719
the success car at your Rambler dealers, and now starting mister Herbert Marshall back

347
00:35:52.920 --> 00:36:10.199
too of the wax work murderers.
Then in Mariner's waxworks was an airy and

348
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:16.119
uncomfortable chamber, a chamber whose atmosphere
invited its visitors to speak and whispers.

349
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:24.559
The waxwork murderers stood on low pedestals. Recent notorieties rubbed the dusty shoulders were

350
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:30.920
the old favorites. Ertel, the
murderer of Weir, stood as if frozen

351
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:35.039
in the act of making a shop
window gesture to young bywaters. There was

352
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:39.000
Detroit, the poor shaf baked little
snob, who killed for games so that

353
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:44.320
he might ape for gentlemen within a
few yards with him, said Missus Thompson,

354
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:52.039
that erotic romanticist hanged to propitiate the
British middle class matronhood. Charles Peace,

355
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:58.360
the only member of the wild company
were uncompromising. An entirely evil sneered

356
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:06.199
across a moment the manager writed out, several more interesting of these unholy in

357
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:13.360
notabilities. That let's kripple nit'spect to
recognize him, insignificant little beasts who looks

358
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:19.480
as if he couldn't tread on a
worm. That his armstrong looks like a

359
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:24.760
decent, harmless country gentleman, doesn't
he. There's old Raki who can't miss

360
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:30.440
him, of course because of his
beard. And this one, who's that?

361
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:36.119
Shuston asked in a whisper, Who
have a good look at him?

362
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:39.880
This is our star. He's the
only one of the bunch that hasn't been

363
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:45.360
hanged. The figure which Shuston is
indicated was that of a small, slight

364
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:50.480
man, not much more than five
feet in height. It wore a little

365
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:57.280
waxed mustashes, large spectacles, and
an upper cape. There was something so

366
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:02.599
exaggeratedly French in its appearance that it
remind us of a stage caricature. He

367
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:07.599
could not have said precisely why the
mild looking face seemed to him so repellent?

368
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:17.960
Who is he? That said?
The manager is doctor Burdette Howson shook

369
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.360
his head. Doubtfully. I think
I've heard the name, but I forget

370
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:29.239
in connection with what you would remember
better if you were a Frenchman a little

371
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:32.199
while back. That man was the
terror of Paris. He carried on his

372
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:37.679
work of healing by day and of
fruit cutting by night. He killed for

373
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:43.480
the sheer, devilish pleasure it gave
him to kill, and always in the

374
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:49.519
same way with the razor. But
at last he left the crew behind him,

375
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:53.159
which set the police upon his track. But he was too clever for

376
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:58.159
them. When he realized that the
coils were closing about him, he mysteriously

377
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.599
disappeared, and there was since the
police of every civilized country had been looking

378
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:06.840
for him. However, there's no
doubt that he managed to do away with

379
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:10.519
himself, and by some means which
has prevented his body coming to light.

380
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:22.079
I I don't like him at all. What eyes he's got, yees,

381
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:29.480
this figures a little masterpiece. You'll
find the eyes bite into you. Well,

382
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:32.599
that's excellent realism. Then, for
were Death practiced mesmerism and was supposed

383
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.559
to hypnotize his victims before dispatching them. Indeed, had he not done so,

384
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:42.440
it is impossible to see how some
smaller man could have accomplished his ghastly

385
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:50.679
work. There were never any signs
of a struggle. I I thought I

386
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:55.119
saw him move. He will have
more than one optical illusion before the night's

387
00:39:55.159 --> 00:40:00.000
out, I expect. So I'm
sorry. I can't do any more life.

388
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:05.039
All the lights are already on for
obvious reasons. Re cheapness place as

389
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:22.840
gloomy as possible. Well, good
night, mister Huson, the manager of

390
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:25.760
the rider of an armchair for Huston, who immediately turned it so his back

391
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:30.920
was towards the effort here of doctor
Wordette. For some undefined reason, he

392
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:37.039
liked Dodor Wordett a great deal less
than his companions. The dim and wavering

393
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:39.880
light fell on the rows of figures, which was so untellably as human beings

394
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:46.840
that for silence and the stillness seemed
unnatural and even ghastly. She missed the

395
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:52.239
sound of breathing, the rusting clothes, the hundling one minute noises one hears

396
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:58.199
when even the deepest silence has fallen
upon a crowd, and the air was

397
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:04.039
a stagnant as water of the bottle
was standing pond. She must be like

398
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:07.960
this at the bottom of the sea. He thought. She faced the sinister

399
00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:14.280
figures boldly enough. They were only
waxworks. So long as he let that

400
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:17.239
thought dominate all others, he promised
himself that all would well. They did,

401
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:21.440
not, however, save him wrong
from the discomfort occasion by the waxen

402
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:25.239
stare of doctor Burdette, which he
knew was directed upon him from behind the

403
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:30.119
eyes of the little Frenchman's efforty haunted
and tormented him, and he itched with

404
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:36.360
a desire to turn and look.
At last, the compulsion was too great,

405
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:43.360
and he slewed his chair around and
looked behind him. The image of

406
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:49.559
the dreadful little doctor seemed to stand
out with a queer prominence. Hewson flinched

407
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:54.280
before the parody of mildness which some
fiendishly skilled craftsman had managed to convey in

408
00:41:54.360 --> 00:42:00.480
wex knit the eyes for an agonized
second, and turned again to face the

409
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:05.760
other direction. She is only a
waxwork, like the rest of you.

410
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:12.199
You are all only waxworks. They
were only waxworks, yes, But waxworks

411
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:15.920
don't move, Not that he had
seen the least movement anywhere, but it

412
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:19.519
struck him that in the moment or
two while he had looked behind him,

413
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:23.880
there had been the least subtle change
in the grouping of the figures in front.

414
00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:29.840
Trippin, for instance, seemed to
have turned a degree to the left,

415
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.679
all thought you seem Perhaps the illusion
was due to the fact that he

416
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:38.800
had not returned his chair to its
exact original position. She had neither seen

417
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:45.320
nor heard a movement, but it
was as if some sixth sense had made

418
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:50.119
him aware of one. He looked
straight into the vapid countenance of le Fray,

419
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:55.199
which smiled vacantly back, as if
to say it wasn't I, Because

420
00:42:55.239 --> 00:43:02.480
it wasn't he or any of them
with his own nerves, or was it?

421
00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:08.440
He swung round with the to encounter
the mile, but based his sad

422
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:13.159
of Dr Goodett. Then, without
warning, he jerked his head back to

423
00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:19.000
stairs, straight at Crippin. Ah. She nearly called cripping that time.

424
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:22.800
You'd better be careful, Crippin and
all the rest of you. If I

425
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:25.000
do see one of you move,
I'll smash you to pieces. Dear.

426
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:34.280
This would not do, this,
distinctly, would not do. These figures

427
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:37.559
grouped around him were only dummies made
of wax and sawdust. They stood there

428
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:44.519
for the entertainment of morbid sightseers and
orange sucking cripples. It was no good.

429
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:49.960
He knew the efforgy of doctor Gourdett
was staring at him. He could

430
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:53.320
feel the two places where the gaze
of those piercing eyes pressed into his back.

431
00:43:55.159 --> 00:44:00.840
He turned halfway and tried to steal
a glance at the figure, but

432
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:07.079
instead he felt himself whirled around to
face those dreadful hypnotic eyes. You moved,

433
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:10.000
yes, you did. You moved. I saw you. You moved.

434
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:15.280
Then he sat quite still, staring
straight before him, like a man

435
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:24.519
found frozen in the arctic snarls Doctor
word at ms will leisurely he stepped off

436
00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:30.079
the pistale of the missing care of
a lady lighting from a bus, and

437
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:35.760
then quietly sat down the edge,
facing reason. And once you are,

438
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:42.679
monsieur, something tells me that you
are nervous. My dear sir, have

439
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:47.960
no illusions. I am not one
of these contemptible effiges miraculously come to life.

440
00:44:50.400 --> 00:45:06.119
I am doctor Word at himself.
In a moment, we continue with

441
00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:13.239
the third act, though suspense.
Do you know about the little white childless

442
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:20.239
in the little green in pocket roll? Just to waiting for the moment when

443
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:27.639
you need them to bring your acid
in dejections under control. Chums are the

444
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:35.639
little white chadlets in the little green
in pocket rolls. Chums for the tummies.

445
00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:43.519
Can you ms bring relief quicker than
you'd ever guess that for any kind

446
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:50.679
of aid distress? Keep them handy
in the pocket roll Keep your tummy under

447
00:45:50.960 --> 00:46:00.880
Tom's control. Toms are fast effected
and safe. Tom has relieved the discomfort

448
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:07.199
of acid indigestion quickly, with no
danger of acid rebounds sometimes caused by harsh

449
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:13.800
occalyzers. Always carry Tom's ten cents
three roll pack a quarter new Tom Sex

nine cents and now starring mister Herbert Marshall,

451
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:38.239
actory of the wax work fu soon
set ammobile, staring at the moust

452
00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:45.559
murder. You could see, he
could hear. He did not move a

453
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:50.119
muscle. He could not tear his
eyes away from Doctor Wood. At shignotic

454
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:58.000
eyes, the doctor continued, in
his easy manner. The circumstances have made

455
00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:02.000
it desirable that I should live in
England. I was close to this building

456
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:08.639
this evening when I saw a policeman
regarding me as mittele too curiously. I

457
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:15.519
guessed that he intended to follow and
perhaps ask me embarrassing questions. So I

458
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:21.840
mingled with the crowd and came in
here. A claim brought my admission to

459
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:25.039
the chamber in which we now meet, and an inspiration showed me a certain

460
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:30.920
means of escape. I raised a
cry of fire, and when all the

461
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:34.519
fools had rushed to the stairs,
I stripped my effigy of the cape which

462
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:38.559
you behold me, weary who dunned
it, hid my effigy under the platform

463
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:45.440
at the back, and took its
place on the pedestal. The manager's description

464
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:51.079
of me, which I had the
embarrassment to being compelled to overhear, was

465
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:58.880
biased, but not altogether inaccurate.
Clearly, I am not dead, although

466
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:04.000
it is as well as the word
think I am. His account of my

467
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:08.599
hobby, which I have indulged for
years, although through necessity less frequently of

468
00:48:08.679 --> 00:48:15.760
late, was in the main true. For you see, the world is

469
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:22.360
divided between collectors and non collectors,
with the non collectors who are not concerned.

470
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:30.519
The collectors collect anything according to their
individual tastes, from money to cigarette

471
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:42.320
cars, from mouths to matchboxes.
I collect fruits. She paused again,

472
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:50.679
and regarded use and served with interest
mingled with disfavor. I am obliged to

473
00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:53.320
the chance which brought us together tonight. And perhaps it would seem ungrateful to

474
00:48:53.400 --> 00:49:00.599
complain from motives of personal safety.
My activities have been somewhat cut tailed of

475
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:06.559
late, and I'm glad of this
opportunity of gratifying my somewhat unusual whim.

476
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:12.880
But you have a skinny mixer,
if you will overlook a personal remark,

477
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:19.800
I should never have selected you from
choice. I like men with thick necks

478
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:25.639
sick red knicks. If I were
of an inside pocket, and took out

479
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:30.800
something which he tested against the wet
forefinger, and then proceeded to pass gently

480
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:37.760
to and fro across the parm in
his left hand. But this is a

481
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:43.880
little French razor. The blade you
will observe is very narrow. They do

482
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:49.480
not cut lay deep, but deep
enough. In just one little moment,

483
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:53.320
you shall see for yourself. I
shall ask you a little civil question.

484
00:49:53.480 --> 00:50:00.679
Of all polite barbers, does the
razor suit to sir? He rose up

485
00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:05.280
at diminutive but menacing figure of evil
and approached us him with a silent,

486
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:09.960
furtive step of a hunting pancer.
You will have the goodness to raise your

487
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:17.920
chin, a little thank you,
and a little more, just a little

488
00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:42.960
more, I think messys n in
meth over one end of the chamber,

489
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:46.440
with a thick skylight of frosted glass, which by day let in a few

490
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:52.519
sickly unserted ways to the floor above. After sunrise, these began to mingle

491
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:58.800
with a subdued light from the electric
boves, and this mingled illumination added a

492
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:07.119
certain ghastliness to a scene which needed
no additional touch of horror. The rex

493
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:14.440
work figures stre epathetically in their places, waiting to be admired or execrated by

494
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:21.840
the crowds who were presently wander fearfully
among them in their midst. Huston sat

495
00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:29.039
still, leaning far back in his
ribble chair. His chin was up tilted,

496
00:51:29.079 --> 00:51:32.800
as if he were waiting to receive
attention from a barber. And although

497
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:38.199
there was not a scratch upon his
throat nor anywhere upon his body, he

498
00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:46.679
was cold and dead. Doctor Burdette, on his pedestal, watched the dead

499
00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:53.559
man an emotion. He did not
move, nor was he capable of motion,

500
00:51:55.440 --> 00:52:15.880
but then, after all he was
a x work suspense in which Herbert

501
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:22.360
Marshall starred in William and Robson's production
of the wax work, written by A.

502
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:30.559
M. Bridge and adapted for radio
by Meldon l A. Oh my,

503
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:37.079
you're positively shiver. Well, I
suppose it is about that time the

504
00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:42.199
moon has gone beyond full and now, well, how soon the sun will

505
00:52:42.239 --> 00:52:45.159
come up and you'll need to return
to your cozy, comfy bed, and

506
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:51.039
I'll need to return to wherever it
is I come from. So please please

507
00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:55.440
don't mind me. I won't be
offended. Go on head home, Go

508
00:52:55.639 --> 00:53:01.679
across the way to your warm,
comfy bed, to your beautiful little home

509
00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:07.639
where the door is locked and you're
never worry what's on the other side.

510
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:12.519
But please, I hope you'll come
back to me, and many of you

511
00:53:12.599 --> 00:53:15.000
have said you want to come back, so I'll be back next week.

512
00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:54.039
But until then, be thankful,
thank you for what you have h
