00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:15.439
Ah, happy to see you here, my dear. Well, it

2
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:21.559
is that that holiday of thankfulness coming right up. I'm

3
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.199
glad you had some time to spend it with me.

4
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.879
Not many women, but here you are.

5
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:31.440
Well.

6
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.600
Please have a seat to see. The fire is very warm,

7
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:40.719
it's been it's so cold these last few days. What's that?

8
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:41.039
Oh?

9
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:48.640
Of course, of course, something hot to drink? Spot of tea, lemon, honey, honey,

10
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:54.399
very good. I'll have one myself on your way here.

11
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.479
I know you go across several bridges, but if you

12
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:04.640
ever went across a bridge and thought something isn't quite

13
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:10.719
right here, something bad happened here, Well, sip your hot

14
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.439
teeth and let's learn a little more.

15
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:33.640
I'm in.

16
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.239
Welcome. I'm a g.

17
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:38.920
Marshall.

18
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.920
What surprise package shall we dig for this time in

19
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:49.599
our Pandora's Box of fantasy foibles and farragos? A werewolf

20
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:54.879
baying the moon, A restless ghost trailing icy shivers as

21
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:59.840
he searches for rest, a locked door, a secret panel,

22
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.920
a curse from centuries past, or retribution at last claiming

23
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.759
its victim. Or shall we just consider the most fascinating

24
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.439
problem of all a young girl in danger, not only

25
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.759
of her life but her sanity Our mystery drama The

26
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.680
Covered Bridge was written especially for the mystery theater by

27
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.800
Ian Martin in stars Jadda Rowland. It is sponsored in

28
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:33.719
part by Buick Motor Division and Anheuser Busch Incorporated Brewers

29
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:48.840
a Budweiser. I'll be back shortly with that one.

30
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.560
I don't suppose any of us, who, in.

31
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:57.080
Traveling have unexpectedly plunged into a tunnel could have escaped

32
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.159
the icy thought what if I never come up out

33
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:01.479
with this darkness?

34
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:03.599
Or more terrifying.

35
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:07.479
Still, what if when I emerge into the light on

36
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.680
the other side, I find myself in a different world

37
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:12.520
than the one.

38
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.240
I left going in.

39
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.520
There is nothing dark or foreboding about the tunnel Ted

40
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.159
and Peg Marshall will drive into. It's a simple short

41
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.280
bridge in New Hampshire, different from other bridges only because

42
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:31.360
it is a covered bridge, and because what it stands

43
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:38.719
is not just a simple river, but the stream of time. Hey,

44
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:43.280
sleepy head, I married a zombie.

45
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:45.599
Are you with it? Peg?

46
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.520
I'm just cozy and sleepy.

47
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.479
Oh, remind me to marry a woman I don't bore

48
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:53.319
the next time.

49
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.199
I'm not bored, be married. Oh, but there was all

50
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.080
that champagne and it's taking so long.

51
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.800
Well, you pick New Hampshire for the honeymoon, and it's

52
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:05.680
show me Twilight.

53
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.280
I just hope we get there soon. Where are we?

54
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:16.240
Uh? I was hoping you wouldn't ask why Bill we lost? Well,

55
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:16.959
let's say.

56
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.040
I'm hoping we find the right turn soon.

57
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.199
Uh Oh, Look what's coming up? A covered bridge?

58
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:25.480
You recognize it?

59
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.439
Peg peg, see pegs.

60
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:30.519
Don't leave me?

61
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:39.040
Wake up, Wake up, wake God, Wake up, Wake up Mary.

62
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:40.120
We're on the home.

63
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.360
Find me, Come back to your right in the name

64
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.319
of Heaven. Try to grow up and behave like a woman.

65
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.480
Instead of a silly love struck go without a brain

66
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:51.959
in the red.

67
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.839
It's the kind of wild tar if it closes up

68
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.680
the back of your throat to chust off your breathing,

69
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:07.120
like when you're halfway from some dreadful nightmare. A moment ago,

70
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.839
I was paying Marshall, a newly married woman, driving with

71
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.000
my fan new husband to our honeymoon. And while I

72
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:20.199
dozed up, we jove an automobile into a covered bridge,

73
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:26.360
and suddenly, shockingly it's come on the way across. I

74
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.959
find myself in a two horse carriage with a strange

75
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.560
man sitting beside me. Did we come out of the

76
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.160
roof of the covered bridge on the fore side into

77
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:35.920
another rock?

78
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.839
I asked you questions, Margie, who There is no need

79
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:43.839
to be difficult.

80
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.160
You may not know your own mind. At least I

81
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:48.279
hope you know your own name.

82
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.199
Marguerite is not my name?

83
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.600
Oh really? Since wham, it's.

84
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.600
Never been my name?

85
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.879
Just what do you consider your own man to be?

86
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.519
My name is peg. Well, if you have to be former,

87
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.839
it's just plain Margaret. Nothing fancy.

88
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.480
Well, well, I'm sure your father will be interested to

89
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:10.879
hear that.

90
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:13.759
It wouldn't be much of a surprise since he gave

91
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:18.199
it to me himself. You would you mind stopping this

92
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:22.240
contraption and letting me out? Whoever you are contraption?

93
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:28.399
Let you out? Oh? Oh no, my little not ever again.

94
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.879
I don't know what by sent can you parade you're

95
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.839
dressed up for? Or what kind of joke this is?

96
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.600
But I don't think it's funny, Oh.

97
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.160
Do I, my dear Margery.

98
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.560
For that matter, your father, you shouldn't find out. We

99
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.199
are not amused either of us. As for your father,

100
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.399
I suggest that before you go to him to beg

101
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:53.079
his forgiveness, you get out of that shameful garb, or

102
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.720
you may kill him with the apoplexy.

103
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.439
Which shameful God, what do you.

104
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.800
Considering yourself to be? Posher there a? Rather than have

105
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.279
you some romantic theatrical notion you can avoid for suit

106
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:06.639
by dressing up as a boy.

107
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:12.360
Look, look, mister, there's there's some sort.

108
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.800
Of ylmost to sure agree is and we've had enough

109
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.279
play acting, so please stop it immediately.

110
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.680
If you must refer to me as mister, please do me.

111
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.439
The courtesy of adding my surname or call me THEO.

112
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.079
This has got to be a bad dream.

113
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.279
I should hope what we have lived through the past

114
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.639
day will be just that. You've done enough hard of

115
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.279
a directional name to say nothing?

116
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:38.639
What is that?

117
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.519
I think I shall leave that to your father to explain,

118
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.839
and let us get something quite straight between us young women.

119
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.160
You will not sully my name or right permit you

120
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.839
to make Theodore Bentley a laughing stock. I'd as soon

121
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:56.560
take the foot to you as I didn't you a

122
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:57.240
fancy boy?

123
00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:59.040
What fancy boy?

124
00:07:59.160 --> 00:07:59.800
You're right?

125
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:00.319
Love?

126
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:02.399
Lieutenant Edward Graham.

127
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.959
Tenant Do you mean ted my.

128
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.040
Husband, your would be husband?

129
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.879
Are you done? With him where well.

130
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.560
Is it where he should quite properly be in the stockade.

131
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.879
There's no question that he will be cashier, reduced to

132
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:19.439
the ranks.

133
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.120
And wait a minute, I don't make the scene at all.

134
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.279
Are you trying to tell me that my husband, Ted

135
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.439
Marshall is going to get shot at and maybe killed.

136
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.360
Nobody is your husband yet, and nobody else is going

137
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:33.360
to become back of me.

138
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.200
You will marry me tomorrow, young lady, or buy the

139
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:38.080
living God.

140
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:39.039
You and your.

141
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:45.480
Family will suffer the consequences.

142
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:49.919
Moment I can't talk, shut my eyes thinking. If I do,

143
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.840
and I opened them again, this dark stranger in the

144
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:59.720
patterned wig with a try cornered hat, a white knee,

145
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:05.240
shoes and writing books will disappear. Even as I do,

146
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:10.000
I know it won't be that easy. Something is out

147
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.480
of wrack. Come on a kind of a trick. I

148
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:14.320
never think of.

149
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:16.600
Ay?

150
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:23.919
I in what world? The most important of all? Where

151
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:31.879
his tent? My husband, the man? The carriage comes to

152
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.080
a hall. And I opened my eyes again. There is

153
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:37.799
no miracle.

154
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.320
All right, you can put the rigaway and see to

155
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:42.000
the waters.

156
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.039
I'll know what to give.

157
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:47.919
You can have Miss Drexel down and get her out

158
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.320
of that ridiculous get up before her father's says yes, sir.

159
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:56.919
Right away. Come along, miss Margarine, deary, we'll go upstairs

160
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.919
and freshen up. Who are you now? Don't tell me

161
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:05.159
you'd turn your back and you're abby, Come dear, He

162
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.440
wouldn't do for the rest of the servants to see

163
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.879
you the way you are. What are you trying to

164
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.720
tell me? Hush, not in front of mister.

165
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.360
And you make sure she's as respectable as we can

166
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.399
get her before she comes down to the table.

167
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.159
Wait a minute, I'm not going to please miss Mugger.

168
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.600
It's for the love of Heaven. Don't make any more fuss.

169
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:25.840
Now.

170
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.919
We tried and we lost. Tried, fuck lost? What inside?

171
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.279
Lovey?

172
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.960
We can talk all secret like as soon as we're

173
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:42.519
in our own little nest. As we went up to

174
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.600
the house, I could see that it was a great,

175
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:47.360
massive place of.

176
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:51.639
Stone and white stucco, placed with great heavy wooden beams,

177
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:54.840
a place of age and wealth.

178
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.440
Abigail, a little bird.

179
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.720
Of a woman, and I went up the stairs to

180
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:04.840
what she called my room. There was a great four

181
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:09.879
poster bed, two huge armores for cloves, and the fire

182
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:14.240
burning cheery, in the fireplace, in every way, in my

183
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.120
fitted blue jeans, boots, and spaced.

184
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.879
Out as I was, I couldn't have felt more out

185
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:24.639
of place. Now, the first thing to do, Miss Marguerite,

186
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.360
is to get you out of those clothes. Wherever did

187
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:32.759
you find such outlandish garb? Never mind that for a moment. Abigail,

188
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.480
is that what I call you? You know? Your whole life,

189
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:42.200
it's been plain and simple, Abbey. Are you all right,

190
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:46.200
my little love? Yes? No, no, I'm not all right,

191
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.080
and I'm not your abbey. What did you mean when

192
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.159
you whispered to me that we tried and we lost.

193
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:59.000
Hush If the Master and that miserable Benryman were even

194
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.799
to suspect that I try to help you in the lieutenant,

195
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:03.440
help me us do?

196
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:03.679
What?

197
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:08.960
Why to run away? Of course, to get married? What happened,

198
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:14.840
Miss Marguerite? I don't know then. Now, poor lovely, you're

199
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.440
so delicate and sensitive. It's no wonder those two cruel

200
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.480
old men have got you half out of your wit.

201
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:22.759
I'm not half out of my wits, Abigail, I am

202
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.639
perfectly saying. The trouble with me is I'm not your

203
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:26.600
Miss Marguerite.

204
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.000
I'm someone else. Please don't hover over me and treat

205
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:34.559
me like some kind of nut, what a weirdo like

206
00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:39.679
I put a peg gone round the banner. I just

207
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:46.000
mean I am. I am not losing my mind. Will

208
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:47.360
you answer me some questions?

209
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.080
Of course?

210
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:55.440
First off, my name you say it's Marguerite, But of

211
00:12:55.559 --> 00:13:04.120
course Marguerite. What Jacks Marguerite, Hockness Bullier made you? Drexel?

212
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:05.080
It's all me.

213
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:10.879
They're all family names, I see, and I have a father.

214
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.559
What's his name? And I don't need all of them?

215
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.639
Just as first and his last name. His name is

216
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:22.360
mister Wainwright Drexel. No mother, Oh, now, what are you

217
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.519
trying to do to me? Lovely? You know your sweet

218
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:29.840
mother passed away not six months ago. I'm sorry, I'm

219
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:36.720
truly sorry. He O Bentley? Who is he? Sirphio? You

220
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.240
know he's here from England on some business with your

221
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.840
father's bank, and that he asked for and was given

222
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:46.200
your hand, and that you're to be married tomorrow. That's

223
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.720
what caused all the trouble, because I was in love

224
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:53.480
with someone else, that darling boy, just a husband to

225
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:58.240
care for and comfort you. What happened after we'd arranged everything.

226
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:05.240
What is darling boy's name, Edward Marshall, ted your name

227
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.039
for him? What does he look like? Do you have

228
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.240
a snap? I mean a photograph of him? I mean, well,

229
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.879
do I have of what? A picture of a painting? No?

230
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.200
You remember you had a miniature of him, but your

231
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.799
father took it away from you. I'm beginning to have

232
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:27.799
a big fat hate for this character, Marguerite. He's only

233
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.480
trying to do what's best for you, according to his lights.

234
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.320
One more question, what date is it? Well, you know

235
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:40.799
it's March sixteenth, Yes, sabbe, that's one thing I happen

236
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:45.480
to know. But you said something about King George by

237
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.639
the date, I mean ordered of.

238
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.039
Her ordered law.

239
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.960
Don't see your father. I was just giving miss Marguerite

240
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.559
a SpongeBob sir.

241
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.600
Oh whoa love with good? All about it? Judas his verse.

242
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.279
I want to see that young lady in the library.

243
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:11.799
So that's my father itick boy, Miss Marguerite. Never mind

244
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.519
him for the moment. What I want to know is

245
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.000
what year is it? For the year of our good

246
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:21.080
lord seventeen hundred and seventy six.

247
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.879
So at last, Peg Marshall has to face a stunning, shocking,

248
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:37.039
unbelievable fact that, through the cosmic accident of some time

249
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:41.960
warp in the tunnel of that covered bridge, somehow she

250
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:47.080
lost not only a brand new husband, but two centuries

251
00:15:47.559 --> 00:16:00.679
of her own identity. I returned shortly with that too.

252
00:15:55.080 --> 00:16:04.639
And what on earth would.

253
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:09.080
You do if you found yourself in a situation like Peg, Marshals?

254
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:14.600
Can you imagine the frustration, the icy fear, the total

255
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:19.519
helplessness to be surrounded by a group of people from

256
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.080
another day and age, every one of whom is a

257
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:27.240
stranger to you, and who could only consider you stark,

258
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.120
raving mad if you insisted that you were a girl

259
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:35.200
who would not even be born for nearly two hundred years.

260
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.360
Let's go back and see how Peg handles it.

261
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.840
While I was getting dressed, I tried to concentrate on

262
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:53.279
what to do, which wasn't easy. First of all, I

263
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.399
had to pretend to some maidenly modesty to get out

264
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.360
of my modern underwear and hide my own clothes under

265
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:04.799
the mattress. Then I started getting into well too much

266
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:11.079
long linen drawers, a sort of women vest thing. And then, oh, brother,

267
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.000
of course, have you pulled that so tight? I can

268
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.519
hardly breathe and a harness with a cage of hoops

269
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:26.359
hanging from it, petticoats and petticoats, and finally a heavy

270
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.319
silk broquete dress.

271
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.440
By that time, I've made up my mind. If you

272
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.559
can't fight them, join them. I'd go along with a

273
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:42.079
scene until I figured some way out there we are.

274
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.920
Now you look like your lovely self again, do I?

275
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:47.680
Oh?

276
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:52.119
Yes, miss Mugger heat my poor little things? Why do

277
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.960
you say that? Or I tried to help? Now that

278
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.920
they've stopped your elopeman, I'd take a Daddy wasn't honest too?

279
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:07.279
Who Papa? I mean father? Naturally he was, so that's

280
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.119
what I call him father. Of course, no lady of

281
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.799
breeding would call her parents anything else, of course, and

282
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.160
he was just as dead set against Ted. I mean

283
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:24.599
the Lieutenant as my intento. You know that although in

284
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.799
the Master's defense, I don't think he could quite help

285
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:33.599
himself in what way? You would know that better than I? Besides,

286
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.920
it isn't my place to go mixing family affairs, I know.

287
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:42.240
But oh, please, for both your sakes, don't quarrel again

288
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:43.039
with the Master.

289
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:45.960
Why should I worry about his point of view?

290
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.440
Would you know how the doctor has warned him not

291
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.680
to get excited. We nearly lost him last year for

292
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:56.160
a pity. I mean, you have to remind me of that.

293
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.799
Le I know you love him in your own way. Okay,

294
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:10.799
let's go, Beard pie me father in his fin We

295
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:16.519
went downstairs through the great Echoy hall, wainscotted part way

296
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:20.759
up the rest rough plaster, with a lot of gloomy people, ancestors,

297
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:25.119
I supposed, staring out of heavy carved gilt flames on

298
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:31.519
the wall. The doors were all double ones, very high,

299
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:37.519
heavy dark wood. At one of them, Abby stopped and

300
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:44.880
knocked gently alone, and you go, dear, come with me? Oh, no,

301
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:51.079
much better alone, Try not to upset him. The door

302
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:56.960
flooded shut like a cell door behind me. Across the

303
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.920
room to one side of the fireplace. Facing me as

304
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.880
I entered, sat a man in a big wine chair.

305
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:08.839
He was a large man, tall and heavy, with a

306
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:11.400
huge beak of a nose and bristling eyebrows.

307
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.599
Well, girl, are you going to stand at the door forever?

308
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:17.720
Come over to me?

309
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.799
Yes, father, I wanted to have a word or two

310
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:28.000
of you alone before dinner. You realize THEO is still here?

311
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:30.079
Oh?

312
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:30.440
Is he?

313
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:31.160
Not?

314
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:33.160
The normal run of things?

315
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.279
Of course, not before the wedding and all that, but

316
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.799
under the circumstances I mean after today.

317
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:49.400
Well naturally, now you sit down a moment, Yes, father,

318
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:55.839
you're a headstrong little filly, you know, like your mother,

319
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.720
God rest her soul. The damn good portrait that fellow did,

320
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:06.799
whatever his name was, pought that flash in her eye

321
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:13.200
as Maureen, that was my mother's name, of course, Ros Marguerite,

322
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:19.880
it's what we're talking about. Yes, Now, to get down

323
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:25.279
to cases, you had your no fling today, and I

324
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:32.160
must say it was personally embarrassing to me and downright unreasonable.

325
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:34.200
I hope that's over it.

326
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:40.599
What swing, father, running off with that army chap. I'd

327
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:43.000
have gone after you myself and stopped you if it

328
00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:48.039
hadn't been for this damnable doubt stop me from what

329
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.319
Lord knows. Even if it was marriage, as the boy

330
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:57.039
apparently claimed, not a penny to his name, surely you

331
00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:59.920
can see for yourself what a mistake it would have been,

332
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:04.359
not your sort of chap at all. I hope you're

333
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.319
properly grateful for THEO for interfering.

334
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:10.960
I think that's just what he did. Then why should

335
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:11.720
I be grateful?

336
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:12.279
Easy?

337
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:17.839
There one thought of the time, THEO is your fiance,

338
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:23.039
You're Edward or whatever his name is, was lucky he

339
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.000
didn't get hauled up for a summary court martial with

340
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:28.880
maybe a couple of days.

341
00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:31.640
In the guardhouse will cool the young puppy off.

342
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.680
Supposing I preferred to marry Edward and stairs for you,

343
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:39.160
I think we settled that between us, and you know

344
00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:42.599
perfectly well that THEO is a splendid marriage for you

345
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:44.920
to make and the only.

346
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.599
Way to save my hide. You want to see your

347
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:49.559
father ruined.

348
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:53.839
I have no wish to bring anyone that luck.

349
00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:58.799
Then you must allow me to run my family as

350
00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:03.039
is my place, and rite you have no say in

351
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:03.920
these meccas.

352
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.079
I'm afraid I will have to admit in this case

353
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:13.119
that you are perfectly right, sir, friend.

354
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:15.799
That's my girl.

355
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:22.039
Now let's get into dinner and feel.

356
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:32.119
Only it wasn't his girl, which is exactly why I

357
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:35.599
had to agree. I really had no say about this family.

358
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.279
I really couldn't worry for the moment about Marguerite wherever

359
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:48.559
she was. My problem was myself, Peg Marshall. I needed help,

360
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.079
and I needed it bad. Where was it going to

361
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.319
come from? Certainly not from the two men I dined with.

362
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:01.440
Well, who your daughters are? I'm the lovely lady. I

363
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:04.039
am to marry within twenty four hours.

364
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:13.240
Drink to that through the bride. Don't be alarmed, margetting you.

365
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:15.319
Brok those beautiful crystal glasses.

366
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:20.119
That's part of that traditional toast of the bride.

367
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:23.200
Aren't you both ashamed to feel that you may have

368
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:24.839
to drag a woman to the altar?

369
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.799
Oh, I don't think that will be necessary. Now, sure

370
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:32.200
that your father will stand trustee for that, and you

371
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:34.000
can't trust him for your father.

372
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.240
I think I can answer for phone until that elusive

373
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.599
bond is tired. However, I am naturally still somewhat tentative

374
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.039
of you, my love.

375
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.200
It was more to that interminable dinner, but it ended

376
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.960
on the same note as it had begun.

377
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:57.319
I did not learn much more of the whole situation

378
00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:02.000
by the end of it. Vainly the gentleman retired to

379
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:06.160
their port or brandy or whatever, and I was upstairs

380
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:09.920
with Abby Betty to be put to bed by candlelight

381
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:14.039
at the crazy hour of nine pm. Although I must

382
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:16.440
say it was worth it to get out of that corset.

383
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:21.480
Now into bed and I'll tuck you in cozy. Oh,

384
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:28.240
I won't argue who it's breathing, Oh, that lovely mattress. Oh,

385
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:35.440
only what am I going to do? Abby? Hush, little one?

386
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:40.839
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. That's a

387
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:43.799
lot of help. Turn your back on the good book

388
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.039
for shame, miss muggery. I won't turn my back on

389
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:52.160
anything that might help remember what goes before. According to

390
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:57.640
Saint Matthew, take therefore no thought for the morrow, for

391
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:03.519
the morrow shall take thought for the seams of itself. Oh, Abby,

392
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:08.680
you're such a dear person. You almost make me feel

393
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:13.039
there's hope. Place your trust in the Lord, and there's

394
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:25.200
always hope. The combination of emotional exhaustion and that deep

395
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:31.000
down in bed and that sweet, loving old lady blowed

396
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:35.559
me into accepting the situation. Before I knew it, I

397
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:46.079
was asleep. Oh, I struggled back and layers deep, seaconed

398
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:52.640
by a rooster somewhere doing his thing. I hadn't heard

399
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.079
one since I was a kid, and because he was

400
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:00.480
far enough off, his rockous tone only brought me half awake,

401
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:07.519
and suddenly down beneath the window. Oh hell broke loose.

402
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.839
By Helen Zuri is way right where stand here inside

403
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:12.599
the house.

404
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.200
The nerve of the fellow? How do you escape beyond me?

405
00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:22.759
O you Marco, you're first pressing, get off these bounder out?

406
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.119
What a pistol ball are you?

407
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:26.400
Why?

408
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:32.279
God, I tell it, what is it?

409
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:35.319
Aving? The Lord preserves it's your young lieutenant, come to

410
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:38.319
try to steal you away like a crazy man. Where

411
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:46.279
how I have to go to him? I went out

412
00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:49.920
from under the blankets to freezing cold. Tabby threw some

413
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:52.599
kind of robe over me. I rushed down to the lawn.

414
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:56.079
Feel and the man who was supposed to be my

415
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.519
father were there standing over the body of a young

416
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:06.000
man dressed in colonial British uniform. He was quite dead.

417
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.240
She was enough to shock me out of my mind.

418
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.079
But what was even more horrendous was that the bodyline

419
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:18.240
dead in seventeen seventy six was the man I had

420
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:19.480
married the day before.

421
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:21.720
Nineteen seventy six.

422
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:33.759
A girl torn from her own time hurled back two

423
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:40.440
hundred years, this century or two centuries ago, Margaret or

424
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:46.240
mark Elite? What future does either or the same girl have?

425
00:28:47.680 --> 00:29:08.200
I shall return shortly with that three And.

426
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:01.920
There is a lovely moment.

427
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:06.880
All of us have known that magic moment between sleep

428
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.119
and waking, when half the enjoyment is knowing you are

429
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.799
asleep and trying to stay that way. It can also

430
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:19.279
be one of the most desolate moments in life, when

431
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:23.799
in the same moment of suspended animation, you are fighting

432
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:27.240
not to come awake, not to face the problem you

433
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:31.480
don't want to remember or wake up to. Which is

434
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:35.640
the moment Peg Marshall is going through this morning.

435
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:47.480
Paye pay I am so sorry, but wait for me.

436
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:54.880
I will come to you together. We must find a

437
00:29:54.960 --> 00:30:03.599
way to make it right for you. Please, fool you,

438
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:16.039
wait for me, pig Wae. Marguerite, Margarie. My eyes spat

439
00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:20.000
around the room. She had to be here. I heard

440
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:24.720
her voice so clearly, my eyes open eyes. I could

441
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:29.319
see the sun was just rising by the window. It

442
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:31.839
was just the movement of a curtain in the wind.

443
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:38.559
Or could I glimpse the white clad figures helping into nothing, Marguerite?

444
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:38.880
No?

445
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:45.079
Wait, are you all right, lovey? What what is it, Marguerite?

446
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:49.480
I think she was here, Oh her, Louisal Marguerite.

447
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:50.079
I saw her.

448
00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:53.279
She went out this way, child, child, controlling again.

449
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:54.000
She was here.

450
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:56.160
She spoke to me and said she would come back

451
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:02.759
and she left by this window to do what I

452
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:06.400
was going to say, out to the garden. It's a

453
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:09.759
sheer twenty foot drop down to the terrace below. How

454
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:15.720
could anyone step out this window? They couldn't unless the

455
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:22.440
person was There are no such things, Habby. I know

456
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.680
you're my friend. I wish I could explain so you'd understand.

457
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:29.720
Just try me for whatever little I can do. I

458
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:35.960
I won't let you down. How can I? There's just

459
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:39.000
no way you could know what I'm going through. I know,

460
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.160
what can I say to you about about last night?

461
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:52.119
Last night? Oh? Good lord, tat shot, tat, hush, dear,

462
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:57.559
try to accept dog's will. No, I want to see them.

463
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:00.240
I want to see his murderers. That's a harsh word.

464
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.039
He was a trespasser and your father, Lord, forgive me

465
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:07.839
for saying this. He's fighting for his own life too.

466
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:11.799
What do you mean? Loans he has made to these

467
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.400
upstart colonials have put him in bad odor with the

468
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:16.319
English Bank.

469
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:20.240
And I'm a negotiable factor in the whole rottenness. For

470
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:24.079
my father's honor, one body sold and delivered to so

471
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:28.559
see a Bold Bentley in full settlement of payment due.

472
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:32.279
And I'm not the only battle. Hush, dear, these are

473
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:35.119
not matter for a lady to concern herself. You just

474
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:37.839
helped me get dressed so I can face up to

475
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:44.920
my father and theo past and maybe, just maybe what

476
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:48.039
really belongs to me the future.

477
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:57.880
My dear Margery, it was neither your father nor I

478
00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:59.759
who brought things to a climax.

479
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:03.799
Is your headstrong young suitor, how civilized.

480
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:06.680
You managed to sound? You're talking about a man you murdered?

481
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:12.079
Oh no, I say, really, the beggar was christmassing, and

482
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:14.079
he was an escaped jailbird.

483
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:19.079
Oh, come on, face the truth ted. The left tenant

484
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:20.720
hadn't committed any crime.

485
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:22.799
That, of course, is a matter of opinion.

486
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:26.279
Oh no, mister Bentley, that was sherely a matter of influence.

487
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:30.480
Really, Marguerite, I see no point in pursuing this conversation.

488
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.559
I guess I really don't either. The way we could

489
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:34.839
ever reach an understanding.

490
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:38.000
Oh, I'm afraid the understanding has already been reached. A

491
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:39.839
marriage has been arranged.

492
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:43.000
And will be sanctified at five this evening.

493
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:44.839
Or else.

494
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:49.039
Supposing I told you to go shove your threats in

495
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:50.160
your hat.

496
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:55.039
Let me right, And I don't understand that you were

497
00:33:55.079 --> 00:34:00.680
threatening to refuse me as a husband, Marguerite, talk to.

498
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:04.519
Me as Marguerite. I don't know.

499
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:08.599
How else would he talk to you. Go to your room, daughter,

500
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:11.960
and make yourself ready for the wedding. For buy my

501
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.039
should you will be at the altar. If I have

502
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.559
to drag you there in Chaine.

503
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:18.880
All that won't be necessary.

504
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:23.840
I shall drive her myself to our wedding. And if

505
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:27.480
she refuses, she knows what the consequences will be.

506
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.480
Wainwright, I'll break you.

507
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:38.719
I was scared. I was no sooner in my room

508
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:43.000
than a lock found even abby it seemed was to

509
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:47.960
be denied me, and already, as if it was a threat.

510
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:52.920
My wedding gown was laid out on the bed. I

511
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:59.159
fell apart, sat down on a chaise launch, lost in tears.

512
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:12.239
Paid paid here, isn't much time lift? Who is it?

513
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:20.119
But where are you? It's Marguerite, pay come here, Come quickly?

514
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:27.920
Where to the pier glass? See oval mirror? I crossed

515
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.480
quickly to the old fashioned mirror, expecting to see my

516
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:37.719
own reflection in a sense I did. I saw myself,

517
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:42.039
every line in my face, every curl in my hair,

518
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.239
every familiar look of myself.

519
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:49.199
Reflected, except that the figure in the glass was dressed,

520
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.000
as I could see after a quick glance at the

521
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:57.039
now empty bed, in the white silk, down in a

522
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:00.679
long bridal veil that had been laid out for me

523
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:01.360
to put on.

524
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:06.599
I've promised I would come, but so late, too late,

525
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:11.440
not for you, I hope, and it long lasts, not

526
00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:18.679
for me. Help me, Marguerite, What what happened? That's beyond me.

527
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:23.360
But everything else I can explain quickly. You know most

528
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:25.639
of it by now, yes, But no, no, there is

529
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:28.559
no time to waste. First you must get out of

530
00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:32.039
your clothes and back into your modern ones. How could

531
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:35.440
you know about them? I have been dead a long time,

532
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.679
but not allowed to lie in the grave. How quickly

533
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:42.280
now it's changed, and I shall tell you as you

534
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:47.000
already know. My father was in financial difficulties, so Fiobald

535
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.239
was sent from England to close him out, to expose

536
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.920
him to ruin and disgrace. As you have guessed, an

537
00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:59.119
accommodation was made between my father and Sophio, that old ghost.

538
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:03.079
That's the way I elt about him, save in my

539
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:06.039
time it was different. I did have a duty to

540
00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:09.960
my father. What do you mean in your time you're here.

541
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.000
Now, you know that isn't so.

542
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:17.320
What am I a reflection in a dark glass, a

543
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:21.480
wandering spirit that you may bring to rest me? Ha

544
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:26.400
I know very few answers why you are here an

545
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:30.599
accident of time, and perhaps I have to believe that

546
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:35.280
somehow we have common ancestors. The day before I was

547
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:38.320
supposed to be married to Sir Theobald, I stole from

548
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:41.559
the house and fled to meet Edward. We might have

549
00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:45.039
been married and happy if if Theeal hadn't found out

550
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:47.119
from one of the grooms. He had paid the spy

551
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:50.400
on me, and I consider reft. The establishment rolled in

552
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:51.599
and dragged you high.

553
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:51.960
Yes.

554
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:56.320
The next day, poor Edward made his foolish but wonderful

555
00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:59.360
attempt to rescue me and got killed for his pains.

556
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.400
A damn, what is about to happen to you? Fiyo

557
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:06.880
drove me to the wedding, a pistol by his side.

558
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.719
I was dressed as you see me in the mirror now.

559
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:17.280
As we got to the covered bridge, just before we entered, yeah,

560
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:21.079
I pulled away from him and threw myself down into

561
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:24.039
the stream. It's not so deep, but it is rocky,

562
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:27.159
and I did what I wanted to do. I killed myself,

563
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:31.639
you poor girl, and I've been doomed to wander all

564
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:36.159
these years, unable to join my love Edward. But now

565
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:40.239
I think, at last my time has come. How who's you?

566
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:43.480
This time? If I kill myself, it will not be

567
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:47.159
a sin because I can save you. Now, let's change places.

568
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:50.320
I don't know what you mean. Me in the wedding

569
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:54.840
gown looking into the mirror, you in your modern jeans,

570
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:58.679
looking out as we ride to this wedding that never

571
00:38:58.719 --> 00:39:02.159
took place two hundred years ago. So we ride is one,

572
00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:08.119
but this time it's my soul that will find escape.

573
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:12.840
What about me? I don't know. It's a chance you'll

574
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:22.440
have to take. But what better one do you face? Now?

575
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:26.159
Oh?

576
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:31.840
It was that under thunderclouds and dark scudding sky, Theo

577
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:36.880
helped his ride to the two horse carriage, unaware that

578
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:44.000
with her there was me in booting the head skis

579
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:47.000
were almost sitting on our heads, heavy with the promise

580
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.199
of a storm.

581
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.760
Well, I love, but with one thing and another not

582
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:57.639
the most auspicious occasion for our weddings, or may I

583
00:39:57.719 --> 00:39:59.199
hope you will contradict me.

584
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:04.719
Our state is sealed at least yours. You have achieved

585
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:07.159
what you wanted to believe.

586
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:11.119
It is no, not quite the ridiculous child love you

587
00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:17.079
had for the young fuck who is disposed of I.

588
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:19.599
I would like some guarantee that it will not come

589
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:20.639
between us.

590
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:24.639
Round the bend and down the hill. Is the covered bridge?

591
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:24.920
Uh?

592
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:27.960
Yes, for the time we reach it.

593
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:32.920
I hope to answer your question for even But why

594
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:33.840
is it too dark?

595
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:36.280
Like a storm on the way?

596
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:40.760
Hey, I hope we can reach the church before a

597
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:42.320
great bridge.

598
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.119
Don't pass against me. It's a narrow tunnel and I

599
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:46.239
need room to maneuver.

600
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:49.800
Look to the opposite end, to the mist. Those two

601
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:51.719
enormous eyes. What a thing?

602
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:53.679
I don't know. I can't see, but.

603
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:56.800
There is something coming towards it. We're going to It's

604
00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:58.360
what you deserve, but not.

605
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:09.559
Me, not meg thigs.

606
00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:10.800
Are you all right?

607
00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:13.320
What I said? Are you all right?

608
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:17.119
Did we crash and so there was a horse and

609
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:18.400
carriage coming the other way?

610
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:21.159
Come on, honey, you were out cold?

611
00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:22.480
You're dreaming?

612
00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:26.280
Am I? Are you sure?

613
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:27.159
I'm sure?

614
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:27.679
I'm sure.

615
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:30.320
The one thing I wish I was so sure of

616
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:31.320
is where I'm at.

617
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:34.079
I'm pretty low on gas.

618
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:36.719
Well, we better find.

619
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:46.000
An open station soon, Yes, sir, he was just not empty.

620
00:41:46.599 --> 00:41:47.000
Good thing.

621
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:50.480
I stay up in this lade, yeah yeah thanks. Oh

622
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:52.519
and thanks for putting us on our way.

623
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:53.599
That's no trouble.

624
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:54.199
No trouble.

625
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:55.199
One of the things I'm here for.

626
00:41:56.320 --> 00:41:57.880
Could I ask you something, sir?

627
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.079
I reckon, I confuse a lady.

628
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:07.000
You ever hear some people called Jaxel around here? Ah?

629
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:09.639
Now, Jaxel is a right proper name in this part

630
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:14.000
country goes back a couple of centuries or more. Old

631
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:16.920
manor house used to be here until shortly after the

632
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:21.440
war and it became a hospital like burned down a

633
00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:22.360
couple of years ago.

634
00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:27.920
Said see it go? Can you see landmark? Eh? Eh,

635
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.920
it's a funny thing. Come think on it.

636
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:33.199
What was that? Well?

637
00:42:33.320 --> 00:42:37.280
You you must come over the covered bridge on your way here?

638
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:39.519
Oh? Yes we should it.

639
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:42.880
Oh, a lot of excitement up there just after you

640
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:46.840
came by you my further preest car ambulance and all.

641
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:50.159
Why what happened today?

642
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:54.800
A final lady committed suicide to say, or dressed up

643
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:58.000
like colonial times in a long silk wedding dressed veil.

644
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:03.920
Strange thing is nobody knows where I should come from

645
00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:09.760
except in uh excepting what oh well, now he not

646
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:13.159
underput any brief in. But may I is an old

647
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:16.280
legend round these here pots of the White Lady of

648
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:20.440
the bridge, mister Nights. She's supposed to haunt that old

649
00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:22.679
covered wreck it.

650
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:24.960
Hey, who knows.

651
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:29.119
Maybe now they'll fix that old bridge up, and another

652
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:30.880
New Hampshire ghosts will.

653
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:46.440
Be laid to rest, Another New Hampshire ghost. Certainly not

654
00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:50.519
for Peg Marshall. In a long and happy marriage to

655
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:53.920
Ted Marshall. It is perhaps the one thing she never

656
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.679
could quite share with him. Oh, of course she told

657
00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:01.039
him the story, but he just laughed sit off because

658
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:04.079
she was sound asleep when they entered that covered bridge

659
00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:07.400
and didn't wake up till they came out the other side.

660
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:15.239
What happened in between for Ted? Nothing for Peg a nightmare.

661
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:20.599
But then, in a moment of dreaming, anyone can live

662
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:34.039
a lifetime, I'll be back shortly. Our cast included Jodda Rowland,

663
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:38.639
Bob Caliban, Ian Martin and Briana Rayburn. The entire production

664
00:44:38.840 --> 00:44:40.840
was under the direction of Hymond Brown.

665
00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:45.920
Oh wow, well that one certainly made. It made very

666
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:48.800
chilling right by the fire. The fire, didn't it? My

667
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:53.719
dear Ida well, well, I hate to ask more of

668
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:57.519
you than I already do, but how about one more

669
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:03.000
before you go? I am, after all, very thankful for

670
00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:07.719
your friendship. Friendship, I'll get another pot of tea going,

671
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:11.960
and of course another log on the fire. Thank you

672
00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:17.079
for humoring memory. How about this one is all about

673
00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:24.559
going to the edge, not of sanity, but of death itself.

674
00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:27.400
I thought you'd like this.

675
00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:44.840
Let's listen now, Lipton Tea and Lipton Soap presented in

676
00:45:44.920 --> 00:46:00.119
a Sanctum Mystery.

677
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.599
Good evening, friends of Leanna Sanctum.

678
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:07.639
There's your host at the creaking Do.

679
00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:14.679
Do these potters past the world's most horrified people?

680
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:21.599
What's the matter? Did my happy medium start you?

681
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:23.119
Sorry?

682
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:25.760
I keep them around to get in the right spirits

683
00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:31.960
you know. Oh, by the way, if you feel a cold,

684
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:34.559
thin sliver of steel across your neck in the next

685
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:36.800
half hour, sit perfectly still.

686
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:39.760
Someone's got an edge on your.

687
00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:43.639
Gracious mister Hurst. I'm afraid i'd have to move fast.

688
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:45.960
Oh Mary, you must sit still. You wouldn't want to

689
00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:46.760
lose your head.

690
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:50.119
Well, I'll remember your advice, mister host, But right now

691
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:52.920
I have some advice for our Lipton listeners. You know,

692
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:56.039
A teapot can't talk, but if it could, I think

693
00:46:56.039 --> 00:46:57.480
it would tell you the same thing that I do

694
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.920
about making tea. I think it would probably say the

695
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:03.760
most delicious tea is the tea with the most flavor.

696
00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:06.039
And I'll bet it would cast its vote, as so

697
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:10.119
many folks do, for Lipton Tea, because Lipton's has that grand,

698
00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:13.559
brisk flavor, the flavor that's so different from other teas,

699
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:17.320
the flavor that fills your cup with pleasure. You'll taste

700
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:21.079
a world of tangy, full bodied goodness in Lipton's. It's

701
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:24.079
tea and it's tastiest. So make that next part of

702
00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:26.119
tea you brew at your house Lipton Tea.

703
00:47:26.679 --> 00:47:30.039
And now here's a little tale of horror that speaks

704
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:35.480
for itself, The Edge of Death, written by Frederick Mefo

705
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:41.360
and starring Larry Haynes and the role of Ralph. We're

706
00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:43.559
going to tell you of a night Satan played a

707
00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:47.480
game of murder along a deserted strip of Manhattan's waterfront.

708
00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:52.199
For his sport, he chose two friends for his victim.

709
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:55.800
A woman had the weapon he suggested he had long

710
00:47:55.840 --> 00:48:00.519
ago placed in the hands of another murderer. Weapon was

711
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:05.400
a long slender, graceful rapier, which first drew blood at

712
00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:09.519
the hand of resputin a mad month of Russian.

713
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:21.960
Then den bred over the raf. Well, well, come on in, man,

714
00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:24.119
what's the matter with you? You're soap? I had no code.

715
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:26.920
You're my best friend, my only friend. You've got to

716
00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:28.679
help me, right, just got back from Chicago. I was

717
00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:29.599
going to drop over your shop.

718
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:30.119
Little later.

719
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:34.239
You go back too late. You could have helped me. No,

720
00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:37.760
it's too late. What's the matter of What have you done?

721
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:39.119
Well?

722
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:42.880
What's that in the package?

723
00:48:43.800 --> 00:48:48.599
It's the antique sword I gave you when you were married, Ralph.

724
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:53.840
Naked steel always looks different coated with blood.

725
00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:57.360
Ralph, you fool, You didn't.

726
00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:01.960
Yes, I just appears to a woman's heart with that rapier.

727
00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:06.719
Not fifteen minutes ago. Warned you about your temper ever

728
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:09.760
since we were kids. You almost killed me once. Do

729
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:13.000
you remember? You want me about my hobby too? You

730
00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:16.639
said I had a psy psychosis. That's what we psychiatrists

731
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:21.320
call it. Your unnatural love of steel blades, your worship

732
00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:26.000
of ancient weapons and tempered steel. It, well, it's all balance.

733
00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:29.039
It's nothing in the world more beautiful than a piece

734
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:31.039
of true hand ford Steel.

735
00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:33.760
It's a night as old as nau.

736
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:37.639
I know we've been over all that before, but now

737
00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:40.840
you're a murderer. Now I want to know everything that happened.

738
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:43.760
It's too late that I only may. Maybe I can

739
00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:49.000
dig something out of you that might help your defense, Ralph, Closure, eyes,

740
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:52.719
closureize and let your mind wander. Tell me the first

741
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:57.840
image you get, Tell me every detail, no matter.

742
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:01.440
What I see.

743
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:07.199
The wedding here at your house, the guests have learned

744
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:14.079
England is blind and beautiful, and the white satin she's

745
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:18.239
standing the side, and you'll come to you with.

746
00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:22.280
A It was so good of you to make such

747
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:23.719
a beautiful wedding for us.

748
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:26.239
You are the best best man ever.

749
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.199
No, no, maybe maybe maybe the best second best man ever.

750
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:31.599
Ralph was best today.

751
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:34.360
Well you gave me some stiff competition. Then I've got

752
00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:36.679
another wedding present for you, Ralph. I waited to allow

753
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:39.320
to bring it out because I I didn't think the

754
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:40.360
others would understand.

755
00:50:41.039 --> 00:50:44.679
You're opening.

756
00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:49.719
Do you like it, Ralph? Is it a good one?

757
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:54.159
It's the most beautiful rapeer I've ever seen. The balance

758
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:58.079
and the lines magnificent steel look looking.

759
00:50:58.719 --> 00:50:59.440
Isn't it wonderful?

760
00:50:59.480 --> 00:51:02.199
It will be the very nicest saw it in your collection, Darling,

761
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:04.679
as well as your last his last.

762
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:10.599
Oh yes, yes, then I promised Inger no more auction, and.

763
00:51:10.639 --> 00:51:13.760
He'll keep his promise this time. I'm going to change, Darling.

764
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:16.519
Won't take me long, all right, Darling, hurry? You really

765
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:19.280
like that blade, don't you? Ralph like it? It's beautiful.

766
00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:21.000
Where did you find it?

767
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:24.360
I saw it yesterday in a small junkie antique chop

768
00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:27.039
in the village. Little Russian fellow round said, did he

769
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:29.000
tell you anything about the blade? I mean where he

770
00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:29.440
got it?

771
00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:30.679
No, but he said it was Russian.

772
00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:35.239
He said the hilt was black lacron rosewood, and the

773
00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:39.159
steel was superior. Said something there you mumber all about

774
00:51:39.159 --> 00:51:40.880
wanting to get rid of it before the full moon,

775
00:51:41.039 --> 00:51:44.480
something about it being an evil thing, blamed at once

776
00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:47.400
Belond Raspute and the mad Monk of Russia.

777
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:49.280
Wonderful. Did I doubt it?

778
00:51:50.039 --> 00:51:50.400
Any how?

779
00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:52.519
We finished by saying that whoever owned it would have

780
00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:55.280
evil luck, and failing to get rid of it before

781
00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:55.960
the full.

782
00:51:55.719 --> 00:51:58.480
Moon would die by violince.

783
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:02.440
I beg it back to him, you like ra No, No,

784
00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:07.920
not on your life then, But don't mention that nonsense

785
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:08.400
to Ingrid.

786
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:09.280
Will you.

787
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:20.440
I remember all that myself from I left for Chicago

788
00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:24.239
that night. Now, what's the next thing that comes to

789
00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:31.639
your mind? Is important? Well, about three weeks ago I

790
00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:33.559
was working on some knives in the shop.

791
00:52:35.079 --> 00:52:35.840
Ingrid had left.

792
00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:36.679
I was alone.

793
00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:40.119
The shop door opened.

794
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:42.159
And she was there.

795
00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:43.920
She wo.

796
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:45.840
Stasha.

797
00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:53.719
She was beautiful, tall, quite a smart, flaught dressed in

798
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:55.360
black and.

799
00:52:56.760 --> 00:52:57.320
Beautiful.

800
00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:00.599
I beg your pardon. What did you say?

801
00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:03.800
I'm sorry.

802
00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:09.719
You said beautiful. There's no cost to be embarrassed. I've

803
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:10.920
heard this said before.

804
00:53:11.719 --> 00:53:14.280
Oh what can I do for you?

805
00:53:14.360 --> 00:53:22.000
Miss Stasia Caso? You own something that I would like

806
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:22.719
to buy.

807
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:23.559
What is it?

808
00:53:23.960 --> 00:53:29.320
A rapier? A Russian rapier? I saw it in your window.

809
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:29.760
As I passed.

810
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:30.639
It's not for sale?

811
00:53:31.639 --> 00:53:37.840
Oh really? Are you sure I will pay you?

812
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:38.159
Well?

813
00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:47.000
Say one hundred dollars? Sorry, very well, Perhaps you might

814
00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:53.519
change your mind. M hmm, here here is my card,

815
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:57.480
Come and see me if you do well?

816
00:53:57.920 --> 00:53:59.800
Thanks back by.

817
00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:04.800
Shall we say? Before the next full move.

818
00:54:14.679 --> 00:54:17.440
If it weren't for that blood stained rapier on the table,

819
00:54:17.440 --> 00:54:20.119
I'd say you were lying? How could this woman know

820
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.159
your name or anything about the legend of the rapier.

821
00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:28.599
I know how what happened? Then off. I've handled steel

822
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:30.039
all my life.

823
00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:34.480
I've forged it, pounded a temperate grounded to raise the edge,

824
00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:34.960
and I've.

825
00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:38.719
Never cut myself. I have to startia left.

826
00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:43.000
I put the rapia to the stone, and as I worked,

827
00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:46.960
I kept seeing her eyes on the forged fire.

828
00:54:48.239 --> 00:54:55.239
Glinting with evil beauty, kept tearing her voice, shall we say?

829
00:54:55.559 --> 00:55:01.199
Before turned suddenly to see if she was there, and

830
00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:03.559
I tripped. The rapier fell, and I fell against the

831
00:55:03.639 --> 00:55:04.360
upturned point.

832
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:12.360
Girl, I'm all right, pull.

833
00:55:12.159 --> 00:55:13.119
It out straight?

834
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:15.079
Oh no, no, I can't do that.

835
00:55:15.119 --> 00:55:18.079
All right, off to it, I'll do it.

836
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:22.199
Your arms all blood's not bad.

837
00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:24.000
It just passed with a flesh called up to burn.

838
00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:25.559
All those stupid knives.

839
00:55:25.719 --> 00:55:29.320
Why don't you get rid of them?

840
00:55:29.559 --> 00:55:34.239
Well, England phone me dead? Means certainly that my fate

841
00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:35.880
was tied to Stasha Cussofs.

842
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:41.039
The death was lunching at us with rasputants rapier and

843
00:55:41.159 --> 00:55:42.079
I was unarmed.

844
00:55:43.719 --> 00:55:45.039
I told Ingrid about the woman.

845
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:48.280
I told her about Stasha's offer of one hundred dollars

846
00:55:48.280 --> 00:55:50.599
for the blade I shouldn't have, and.

847
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:53.320
It turned down one hundred dollars for it. Ralph, that's

848
00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:53.679
the limit.

849
00:55:54.119 --> 00:55:56.920
I can't expect everyone to understand some things about my character,

850
00:55:56.920 --> 00:55:58.119
but I do expect you to try.

851
00:55:58.280 --> 00:56:01.559
I think I do understand, Ralph. I think you didn't.

852
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:03.920
Want to sell that thing because you want that woman

853
00:56:03.960 --> 00:56:04.599
to come back.

854
00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:09.519
That was your first quarrel, Rolf.

855
00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:18.360
Yes, there were lots more. Things got worse. It quarreled

856
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:25.039
a lot. It wasn't Ingrid's fault. I was changing. I

857
00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:30.599
kept thinking of Stosia. Her eyes mocked me. I tore

858
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:32.960
up a card and anger, but I'd memorized the address.

859
00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:37.039
It was an old Dutch mansion on Litman Street. I

860
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:41.320
had to see her again. There was a light inhouse,

861
00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:44.480
and oddly enough, the front door was open a bit.

862
00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:49.119
I rang a long time, but no one answered. I

863
00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:53.400
obeyed an impulse and walked in. There was a coal

864
00:56:53.440 --> 00:56:56.639
fire going in the high ceiling living room, with cast

865
00:56:56.719 --> 00:56:59.599
dancing shadows on a life sized oil painting above.

866
00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:03.800
A cold hand gripped my heart when I saw that pinning.

867
00:57:05.559 --> 00:57:07.639
It was the painting of a man in a monk's habit,

868
00:57:09.159 --> 00:57:11.159
and his gnarled hand rested on the hilt of a

869
00:57:11.239 --> 00:57:13.119
jeweled rapier of exquisite beauty.

870
00:57:14.199 --> 00:57:18.360
Yes, The man in the picture is long dead, but

871
00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:23.320
his mad spirit is in this room. It laughs from

872
00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:28.440
within you, Ralph rit Kum, I seized your body.

873
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:29.639
Stars you.

874
00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:41.239
You know if I were Ralph, I wouldn't be seen

875
00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:45.239
dead With somebody else's spirit, you can't tell what will

876
00:57:45.280 --> 00:57:48.559
happen to a man when the spirit moves.

877
00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:53.199
In goodness, mister, that sort has certainly brought Ralph bad luck.

878
00:57:53.559 --> 00:57:56.119
Yes, man, it got even trouble right up to the hilt.

879
00:57:56.800 --> 00:57:58.440
And we're only halfway through the story.

880
00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:01.519
Yes, there's still a lot more excitement to look forward to,

881
00:58:02.079 --> 00:58:04.599
and I think looking forward to things is so much fun.

882
00:58:04.840 --> 00:58:07.800
For instance, imagine you're brewing up a part of Lipton tea,

883
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:11.039
but you know there's enjoyment ahead just as soon as

884
00:58:11.039 --> 00:58:12.159
that water starts.

885
00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:12.960
Bubbling in the tea kettle.

886
00:58:13.199 --> 00:58:16.400
The very sound of it is warm and cheerful and friendly,

887
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:17.760
like Lipton's itself.

888
00:58:18.199 --> 00:58:19.599
And then when you lift.

889
00:58:19.400 --> 00:58:22.280
That cup to your lips, Oh, there's such a deep

890
00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:26.400
down satisfaction in Lipton's brisk flavor because it's so mellow

891
00:58:26.480 --> 00:58:31.239
and satisfying, brimming with lively, full bodied goodness. Yes, all

892
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:34.440
those little promises of enjoyment are completely fulfilled in your

893
00:58:34.480 --> 00:58:37.320
first delicious sip of brisk flavored Lipton tea.

894
00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:42.159
You certainly have a point there, Mary. But now back

895
00:58:42.199 --> 00:58:45.039
to Ralph Vidken, as he tells his friend the events

896
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:46.039
leading to the murder.

897
00:58:46.039 --> 00:58:47.079
He is committed tonight.

898
00:58:48.039 --> 00:58:50.519
He's telling of his first visit the strange house of

899
00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:51.880
Statia cutoff.

900
00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:56.840
So the cossoff woman convinced you that the spirit or

901
00:58:56.880 --> 00:59:00.440
the ghost of resputant had taken possession of your body,

902
00:59:01.159 --> 00:59:03.920
and you felt for it. I fought against believing it,

903
00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:08.079
but it did explain so many of the strange promptings

904
00:59:08.079 --> 00:59:09.760
that have been stirring me all up inside.

905
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:11.920
Did she say anything more about it? No?

906
00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:17.760
I turned the facer. She was a smiling column of

907
00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:24.159
white beauty. She's in black satin. Let's cass off?

908
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:24.519
How is.

909
00:59:26.599 --> 00:59:27.719
Call me Stassia?

910
00:59:28.800 --> 00:59:32.239
How is it you know my name? What do you

911
00:59:32.280 --> 00:59:33.480
know about the rapier?

912
00:59:33.960 --> 00:59:40.079
Does it matter? You have changed your mind? Perhaps about

913
00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:41.320
selling you a rapier?

914
00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:43.119
No?

915
00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:45.800
I came to ask you about it.

916
00:59:46.239 --> 00:59:50.760
How you came? Because you're confused. We will discuss it,

917
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:53.920
but first let us have some tea.

918
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:59.400
Yes, I examined the room while she was out of it.

919
01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:04.840
On the wall across from the fireplace with five oil paintings,

920
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:07.320
all of them portraits of men.

921
01:00:09.639 --> 01:00:14.079
First I thought the light was playing tricks. It wasn't.

922
01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:19.440
Each face was painted with closed eyes. Each was a

923
01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:20.920
study and sleep.

924
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:22.519
Or death.

925
01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:29.440
You like my painting? Coming, sit down, we'll have tea

926
01:00:30.239 --> 01:00:30.800
and talk.

927
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:33.519
Who are those men you painted? Statia?

928
01:00:34.519 --> 01:00:38.559
And the five men you see in those paintings, each

929
01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:42.400
on the rapier you now possessed, good Lord?

930
01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:50.880
Then they're dead. And the dates on the paintings.

931
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:55.599
Those are the dates on which they died. Roll each

932
01:00:55.840 --> 01:00:59.480
on the day of the full moon. Each kept the

933
01:00:59.599 --> 01:01:04.000
rapier or beyond the time he should have Marty.

934
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:11.960
Stassia's eyes were Adrian wide. My ears began to ring.

935
01:01:13.760 --> 01:01:15.639
I recalled setting the cup down.

936
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:20.679
The Stacia's voice a long way off Russian.

937
01:01:21.199 --> 01:01:27.119
She strong my dream and saw Russian magi.

938
01:01:33.360 --> 01:01:36.760
This is also fantastic graph. Are you sure it wasn't

939
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:40.760
something new, something you dreamed, something I dreamed. No, she

940
01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:44.880
drugged me. There was no dream. Those portraits were no dream.

941
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:47.119
The painting of Rasputant was no dream. They were there

942
01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:55.039
when I woke. Stusio was gone. The fire was hard

943
01:01:55.559 --> 01:02:01.679
by headache. There was an easel near the lamp. It

944
01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:07.400
hadn't been there before. I shuffled toward it. There was

945
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:12.119
a fresh painting on the easel. I stared at the

946
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:16.880
face before me. Its eyes were closed in sleep.

947
01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:19.760
The face was.

948
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:21.519
Mine.

949
01:02:23.559 --> 01:02:26.800
There was a date painted, and then it was January fifteenth,

950
01:02:27.239 --> 01:02:29.159
or yes, yes, that's tonight.

951
01:02:31.239 --> 01:02:33.559
I couldn't find Statia, so I dashed out of the house,

952
01:02:33.599 --> 01:02:36.119
cursing like a madman. It was four in the morning

953
01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:40.360
when I reached home. Ingrid was waiting for me. She

954
01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:44.599
was crying, rap, rap, darling.

955
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:45.679
Where have you been? Why?

956
01:02:45.719 --> 01:02:46.719
What difference does it make?

957
01:02:46.840 --> 01:02:49.559
You've been to see that cossole wo?

958
01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:51.760
Yes, yes, I've been to see that cossole woman.

959
01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:56.519
I had to. I'm losing my mind, Ingrid. Something's trying

960
01:02:56.519 --> 01:02:59.679
to kill me. That woman knows about it. She knows

961
01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:03.840
how and when it'll happen. Funny thing is, I don't

962
01:03:03.880 --> 01:03:04.559
care anymore.

963
01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:05.960
I don't care.

964
01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:07.440
Where are you going?

965
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:13.280
Back to the shop, Back to that crescent rapier. In

966
01:03:13.360 --> 01:03:17.559
the shop, I tried to raison nothing. I was trying

967
01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:22.119
with the rapier. It was a tiny green speck on

968
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:23.119
the black hilt.

969
01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:27.400
Idly, I picked at it with my thumbnail and the

970
01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:28.880
chip of blackers snapped off.

971
01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:35.840
The hilt was supposed to be wood, but here here

972
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:40.000
was what looked like a large emerald. Wow pounding, I

973
01:03:40.079 --> 01:03:41.719
chipped and picked the blacker until.

974
01:03:41.440 --> 01:03:44.000
Bit by bit I uncovered the most dazzling and richly

975
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:48.280
wrought collection of jewels I'd ever seen, set in solid gold,

976
01:03:48.360 --> 01:03:53.119
with pearls, rubies, emeralds, and a magnificent star sapphire. This

977
01:03:53.400 --> 01:03:56.039
was the bjeweled blade that brass Buttant held in his hand,

978
01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:57.119
and Stasha's painting.

979
01:03:58.519 --> 01:03:59.880
This was rass Putin's.

980
01:04:02.079 --> 01:04:05.639
I returned to Stasia's house like the first night. The

981
01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:10.079
door was ajar, like the first night I walked in.

982
01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:15.239
I walked into the living room and I looked about.

983
01:04:17.519 --> 01:04:24.239
Nothing had changed, nothing that is, except that mine was

984
01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:30.639
the sixth painting now hung beside the others, and the

985
01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:36.039
hezel already had a fresh canvas. Stashia was already painting

986
01:04:36.039 --> 01:04:41.559
a new portrait. The face was indistinct, but the date

987
01:04:41.679 --> 01:04:48.039
was clear, one loonar month from tonight. I gave up

988
01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:51.960
and walked home with the rapier under my arm. I

989
01:04:52.079 --> 01:04:55.119
was dristling and foggy along the waterfront, and I.

990
01:04:55.119 --> 01:04:59.320
Was sick inside. I kept hearing Stashia's voice locked in

991
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:00.199
my brain.

992
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:04.360
Till night did that last night. You may own the rape,

993
01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:06.800
but there is a way out.

994
01:05:07.239 --> 01:05:12.000
A way. Oh, it's no way out as long as

995
01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:12.480
either of us.

996
01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:14.719
Yes, no way out.

997
01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:20.599
Rolfh you line come to me. To night is the

998
01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:26.320
night of the lush. If I own the rape, you

999
01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:32.000
will be safe. Crush held, come to me.

1000
01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:38.159
Sorry's following a woman. I could hear her high heels

1001
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:42.559
and the car starts. I just passed that little blind alley,

1002
01:05:42.719 --> 01:05:44.599
you know, the one about a block away from my shop.

1003
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:46.840
I decided to trick her.

1004
01:05:47.559 --> 01:05:50.079
I stopped short, I spun around and caught sight of

1005
01:05:50.119 --> 01:05:54.239
a woman of black. She doted into the alley wastasia,

1006
01:05:55.280 --> 01:05:58.559
and there was no exit from that alley. I tipped

1007
01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:00.440
out to the entrance and evenings which I was. All

1008
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:02.519
I could see was a large empty carton against the

1009
01:06:02.559 --> 01:06:03.079
far wall.

1010
01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:05.079
She had to be behind that.

1011
01:06:06.519 --> 01:06:08.840
I gripped the jeweled handle of the rapire until it

1012
01:06:08.840 --> 01:06:13.000
burned my hand, holding one searing thought in my tired mind,

1013
01:06:13.519 --> 01:06:18.800
Stashia must die. I took a deep breath and drew

1014
01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:22.880
the needle pointed steel back, aimed at where I judged

1015
01:06:22.880 --> 01:06:27.480
her heart to be, and thrust through ha ha.

1016
01:06:29.199 --> 01:06:33.840
Oh.

1017
01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:36.599
I threw the blade out and her body slumped forward,

1018
01:06:37.920 --> 01:06:43.400
and then a matched to see her face. But it

1019
01:06:43.880 --> 01:06:46.079
wasn't Stasha cars Off I had killed.

1020
01:06:48.119 --> 01:07:04.440
It was finger It my wife grew it works? Does

1021
01:07:04.519 --> 01:07:05.159
it worked?

1022
01:07:05.320 --> 01:07:08.119
My plan worked? Ralph reacted just as I planned. You

1023
01:07:08.280 --> 01:07:11.960
mean he did the psychological masterpiece. He told me the

1024
01:07:11.960 --> 01:07:14.119
whole story in my office ten minutes ago. He killed

1025
01:07:14.119 --> 01:07:15.599
her thinking it was you.

1026
01:07:16.320 --> 01:07:19.920
Now that she is gone, you are happy, you will

1027
01:07:19.960 --> 01:07:21.119
love me and forget her.

1028
01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:21.440
Then?

1029
01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:26.039
Oh, perfect, perfect, She picked that stupid fool instead of me.

1030
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:28.639
Now she's dead and he'll die.

1031
01:07:28.480 --> 01:07:32.039
Too, And I'm so glad. I would do anything.

1032
01:07:32.159 --> 01:07:35.400
Everything went like clockwork this rape year. I found in

1033
01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:38.320
your attict, the the legend I made up, the phony

1034
01:07:38.360 --> 01:07:43.239
paintings of former owners, your flirtation. Perfect perfect, the perfect murder.

1035
01:07:43.280 --> 01:07:43.800
I've done it.

1036
01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:45.480
Did my acting? Please?

1037
01:07:45.559 --> 01:07:46.039
You didn't?

1038
01:07:46.159 --> 01:07:50.599
Oh you were magnificent. But there's only one weakness to

1039
01:07:50.679 --> 01:07:53.519
my plan. Stars you what is it?

1040
01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:56.239
And Ralph is picked up?

1041
01:07:57.320 --> 01:07:59.960
There must be no way for anyone to find out

1042
01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:02.360
that you and I know each other.

1043
01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:06.079
Stuff No, and no one will know Danny.

1044
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:11.280
Ralph's fingerprincess still on this rapier. You'll be electrocuted for

1045
01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:17.720
one murder might as well be for two, didn't No?

1046
01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:20.680
I love you, I am.

1047
01:08:20.439 --> 01:08:25.800
Sorry, I.

1048
01:08:27.800 --> 01:08:28.560
Love you.

1049
01:08:33.560 --> 01:08:34.880
I with we.

1050
01:08:36.399 --> 01:08:37.279
What you.

1051
01:08:42.520 --> 01:08:47.560
Ny in struggled. I heard everything you said, but I

1052
01:08:47.600 --> 01:08:51.520
didn't have to. I knew not able, But then is

1053
01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:57.079
faster than a rapier? How did you know, Ralph? Something

1054
01:08:57.119 --> 01:09:01.920
I said tonight? Now, No, it's something I saw.

1055
01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:04.520
Stars. She loved you.

1056
01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:09.800
The painting I saw on her easel tonight when I

1057
01:09:09.840 --> 01:09:11.039
told you she'd begun.

1058
01:09:12.520 --> 01:09:13.239
Was your portrait.

1059
01:09:14.800 --> 01:09:17.960
The only way I knew was because as an artist,

1060
01:09:19.199 --> 01:09:21.159
she was conscious of the scar on your part.

1061
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:25.760
She painted that in personal sky you gave me as

1062
01:09:25.800 --> 01:09:29.199
a kid. Oh you have a lot more brains than

1063
01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:33.359
I gave you credit for. But at least will burn together.

1064
01:09:33.479 --> 01:09:35.640
Sorry Denton, I'll have to decline that on her.

1065
01:09:37.239 --> 01:09:37.920
Too, Lady.

1066
01:09:39.319 --> 01:09:44.479
Know you you did, Ralph.

1067
01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:47.199
Everything you told me about house tonight was a lie.

1068
01:09:49.119 --> 01:09:50.600
Her plan almost worked.

1069
01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:56.840
I told you the truth, except except for the part

1070
01:09:56.880 --> 01:10:03.039
about murdering England. You you should have studied psychiatry, Ralph.

1071
01:10:03.119 --> 01:10:06.119
I did, Dent. I had a good teacher.

1072
01:10:07.560 --> 01:10:21.920
You are we going home soon?

1073
01:10:22.000 --> 01:10:22.279
Darling?

1074
01:10:24.159 --> 01:10:25.319
You seem so far away.

1075
01:10:25.439 --> 01:10:27.319
Ralph is anything wrong.

1076
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:34.800
No, No, I've been thinking about Denton. Odd the way

1077
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:38.880
things turned out. He made up that story about the

1078
01:10:38.960 --> 01:10:41.960
rapier and it's going to rasp Puty and its owner

1079
01:10:42.039 --> 01:10:43.720
is dying on the night of the full moon.

1080
01:10:44.239 --> 01:10:46.399
You don't believe it, do you?

1081
01:10:46.439 --> 01:10:46.720
No?

1082
01:10:48.600 --> 01:10:52.279
But what he thought was a cheap blade turns out

1083
01:10:52.319 --> 01:10:56.319
to be a priceless treasure. It matches the one Rasputant

1084
01:10:56.359 --> 01:10:57.600
held in his hand in the painting.

1085
01:10:57.840 --> 01:11:01.199
That was coincidence. Darling, come on now, put your work away.

1086
01:11:01.279 --> 01:11:05.119
Let's go home, it's late, such a beautiful night. Ball

1087
01:11:06.000 --> 01:11:06.720
let's walk home.

1088
01:11:08.720 --> 01:11:09.000
You know.

1089
01:11:10.560 --> 01:11:13.159
You know that painting stars she started of Denton, the

1090
01:11:13.199 --> 01:11:16.840
one that gave us ply away. It had a date

1091
01:11:16.880 --> 01:11:22.319
on it. I wonder what ghostly hand guided a brush

1092
01:11:22.359 --> 01:11:23.399
as she wrote that date.

1093
01:11:24.079 --> 01:11:27.000
Why the date she wrote was.

1094
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:34.039
Today's there's a full moon, and tonight was the night

1095
01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:35.520
Denton was electrocuted.

1096
01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:51.880
Well, what'd you say?

1097
01:11:51.920 --> 01:11:56.920
That's the story which gets down to fine points. Happy

1098
01:11:57.000 --> 01:12:00.039
ending too, as you got a ghost to go, I

1099
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:04.319
took up between Stasi and Tenen, Ralph and Ingrid get

1100
01:12:04.319 --> 01:12:06.680
an exhibit a worth a few bucks and go back

1101
01:12:06.720 --> 01:12:07.880
to the old grime.

1102
01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:12.560
Well, I'm glad Denton's plot didn't work, yes, Mary, but

1103
01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:14.399
if it had, Ralph would have had a plot of

1104
01:12:14.399 --> 01:12:16.039
his own, you know, in a cemetery.

1105
01:12:17.159 --> 01:12:19.159
After all, that's one of the best selling plots.

1106
01:12:19.199 --> 01:12:19.439
I know.

1107
01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:21.479
Nonsense, miss Dos.

1108
01:12:21.680 --> 01:12:23.399
If you think that's the kind of thought we want

1109
01:12:23.439 --> 01:12:27.159
to leave our Lipton listeners with, you're quite wrong. Here's

1110
01:12:27.159 --> 01:12:30.319
a much better thought for folks to carry away with them. Tomorrow,

1111
01:12:30.680 --> 01:12:33.520
when you visit the grocer's, get a package of Lipton Tea.

1112
01:12:34.199 --> 01:12:36.920
Buy it, Try it and see if you don't agree

1113
01:12:36.920 --> 01:12:40.920
that Lipton's brisk flavor gives you extra enjoyment. Oh yes,

1114
01:12:40.960 --> 01:12:43.319
there's a great treat in store for you when you

1115
01:12:43.399 --> 01:12:47.720
first taste Lipton's full body zestful goodness. Ask your grocer

1116
01:12:47.720 --> 01:12:57.640
for a package of Lipton Tea tomorrow, and.

1117
01:12:57.520 --> 01:13:00.960
Our friends, in case you're wondering, we do have a

1118
01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:02.399
morrow for tonight's story.

1119
01:13:03.359 --> 01:13:04.760
It's short and sharp.

1120
01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:10.760
Knife can be beautiful if you keep your temper and

1121
01:13:10.840 --> 01:13:12.880
look out for people with an ax to grind.

1122
01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:15.800
They may be trying to get ahead of you.

1123
01:13:19.680 --> 01:13:24.560
Well, my dear, I certainly do appreciate you spending little

1124
01:13:24.600 --> 01:13:29.479
time with lonely old Meal. But now I suppose it

1125
01:13:29.560 --> 01:13:32.920
is time for you to go home, be with your

1126
01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:37.680
loved one, loss, make Mary, and of course be thankful.

1127
01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:42.079
As you know, whenever you leave me, I always remind

1128
01:13:42.159 --> 01:13:46.279
you how important it is to be thankful. Well tonight

1129
01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:51.560
is no different. As you make your brisk, chilly walk home,

1130
01:13:52.399 --> 01:13:55.640
don't step on any ice you might slip or worse,

1131
01:13:56.199 --> 01:14:00.680
fall through. And as you go across the covered bridges

1132
01:14:00.720 --> 01:14:06.079
of your beautiful neighborhood, as you go across the dark

1133
01:14:06.279 --> 01:14:10.880
MUDs of your mind, and as you lay your head

1134
01:14:10.960 --> 01:14:15.760
on that soft, warm pillow, just take one moment and

1135
01:14:17.039 --> 01:14:20.960
be thankful for what you have and I'll see you.

1136
01:14:21.079 --> 01:14:46.319
See h
