Started? Say, he should switch to autolite resistor spark plugs. 7 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000 These wide-gap wonders get your car going faster in cold temperatures. 8 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000 Save gas, too, because they make your engine run smoother on leaner gas mixtures. 9 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000 Well, Hap says he's not long for this world. 10 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000 Long? Autolite resistor spark plugs give him up to 200 percent longer electrode life. 11 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000 And autolite's exclusive built-in 10,000 ohm resistor cuts down spark plug interference with radio and television, too. 12 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000 So tell him to see his neighborhood autolite spark plug dealer and have him install a set of wide-gap autolite resistor spark plugs. 13 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000 He'll feel better because his car will run better. 14 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000 And remember, you're always right with autolite. 15 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:29,000 And now with murder of Aunt Delia and with the performance of Van Heflin, autolite hopes once again to keep you in suspense. 16 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Ever stick out your thumb and pull out a million-dollar plum? 17 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000 Well, I'm the little Jack Horner that did that. 18 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Only my name isn't Horner, it's Dort Sharples. 19 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000 I was hitchhiking along Highway 70 across the Arizona desert heading for L.A. 20 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000 It was August, and it was hot. 21 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000 The lizards were fanning themselves. 22 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000 There wasn't much traffic, and nobody had stopped. 23 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000 I'd walked about eight miles outside some little berg, and I was tired and sore. 24 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000 Finally a black sedan came along. 25 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000 I was all set to holler cuss words at him for not stopping when suddenly he slowed down. 26 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000 He was a young guy about my age. He was alone. 27 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Hop in. 28 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000 Well, thanks. I... well, I sure appreciate this. 29 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000 All right. I'll get you some company. 30 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000 For a second there, I didn't think you were going to stop. 31 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000 I wasn't, frankly. 32 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Well, a guy has to be kind of careful, I guess, huh? 33 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000 You know what changed my mind? 34 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000 Maybe you won't like this, but it suddenly struck me that you look like me. 35 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Yeah? Yeah, I guess maybe I do at that now that you mention it. 36 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000 I thought to myself, what if that was me walking along? 37 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000 Besides, if you've got a face like mine, it must be an honest face. 38 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Yeah, maybe you got something there. 39 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000 You going to Blythe? 40 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000 Where's that? 41 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000 The next town across the Colorado. 42 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000 No, I'm going clear into L.A. 43 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Well, I happen to be going through there on my way to Santa Barbara. 44 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000 If you want to spell me at the wheel, we can make Los Angeles by a little after midnight. 45 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Brother, you've got yourself a co-pilot. 46 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:11,000 By the time we crossed the river into California, I had learned that the guy's name was Glendon Braley, 47 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000 that he was going to visit his invalid aunt. 48 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000 This aunt didn't own all of Santa Barbara, not quite. 49 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000 The guy didn't volunteer this information. I had to probe it out of him. 50 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Between Blythe and Desert Center, an idea began to percolate, and not just from the heat either. 51 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000 I'll bet your aunt will be glad to see you, Braley. How long did you say it's been? 52 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000 When I was ten when I left, that'd make it 17 years. 53 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000 You see, my mother died when I was three, and Aunt Deidya took me in. 54 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Ah, does she know you're coming? 55 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000 I sent her a wire. 56 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Ah, you think she'll recognize you? 57 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000 I doubt it. The reason I'm going back, her husband died about a month ago. 58 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000 He and I never got along. That's why I left Aunt Deidya's place. 59 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000 You mean you ran off? 60 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000 No, another aunt in Delaware took me. 61 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000 Then what with school, and then the Army, and getting a job afterwards? 62 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Well, I just lost track of Aunt Deidya. 63 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Ah, you got a lot of relatives in the East? 64 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000 No. My other aunt died when I was 21. Deidya is the only relative I've got left. 65 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Well, I guess that means you're coming to something pretty good some day. 66 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Yeah, I suppose so. It's funny, but the idea sort of scares me. 67 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Oh, boy, I wish somebody would scare me like that. 68 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000 I kept pumping him until I could have written his autobiography. 69 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000 Yes, I mean autobiography. 70 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000 I stored away facts about this uncle that he hated, about how Braley used to like to draw pictures when he was a kid, 71 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,000 about how he got his only spanking when he was eight for spilling ink on his aunt's favorite tapestry, 72 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000 how he couldn't eat peas, how he got sick on enchiladas at the Santa Barbara Fiesta in 1929, everything. 73 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000 Could I remember it? 74 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000 People used to tell me with my memory I could have been a lawyer, but that takes work. 75 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Just east of Indio before Highway 70 runs into 99, I figured that I was thoroughly briefed. 76 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Want me to drive a while, Sharples? 77 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000 No, thanks, unless you want to take over. 78 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000 No, technically maybe I shouldn't be driving at all. 79 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Oh, I've got one of these mail-order driver's licenses, but I doubt if I can pass the California test. 80 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000 Hey, you know something funny? I think we're getting a flat. 81 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000 All right. 82 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000 The car ride's kind of funny. I think it's the left rear tire. 83 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000 This would have to happen clear out in the middle of nowhere. 84 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000 We better start and take a look, huh? 85 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000 I don't even know if the spare's any good. 86 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Of course, I may be imagining things, but we better make sure. I'll check it. 87 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000 Well, there's not a soul in sight either way. 88 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Well, we don't need any help. 89 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000 I hope not. How is it? 90 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Maybe you better come and look. 91 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Okay. See, come to think of it, there may not be any tools in the car. 92 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000 I bought it in a hurry off a used car lot in the... 93 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000 I've got all the tools that I'll need, really. 94 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Well, it doesn't look flat to me. 95 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000 No? Look close. 96 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000 Well, it's still there in the seat. 97 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000 I was right about the tools. Wasn't I, Braley? 98 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,000 I put the blackjack back in my pocket and I dragged Braley off the highway into a ditch. 99 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000 I made sure he was dead. 100 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Then I changed clothes with him and covered his body with sand and brush. 101 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000 I was back in the sedan and on my way and still no other car was in sight. 102 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000 I adjusted the rearview mirror so that I could see my reflection. 103 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000 I watched the lips move as my voice said, 104 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,000 Dort Scharpels, never heard of him. My name's Glendon Braley. 105 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000 I pulled into LA about 2 a.m. 106 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000 I waited till morning, though, before I went to Rena Zeta's apartment. 107 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000 I wanted her to be wide awake when I told her my idea. 108 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000 That daughter sounds crazy and dangerous. 109 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000 Well, for a million bucks, we can afford to be crazy. 110 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000 Yeah, of course, Emily finds out that you aren't this guy, Braley. 111 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000 Who'll know? His aunt hasn't seen him since he was a kid. 112 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000 There are no other relatives, no connections on the coast, or back east for that matter. 113 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000 But I'm sure you can carry it off, Dort. 114 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000 Listen, Rena, I know everything about this guy, even when he lost his first baby tooth. 115 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000 What do you want me to do? 116 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000 Just stay where I can get in touch with you. Be ready to come on up to Santa Barbara. 117 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,000 How long will you have to wait to come into this money? The old lady may live for years. 118 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000 I don't think so. She's pretty well along. She's an envelope. 119 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000 You know, a lot of things can happen to an old lady. 120 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000 Well... 121 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000 No, no, it's a real break. I might have done it alone, kid, but I thought of you. 122 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000 It's real sweet of you, Dort. Real sweet. 123 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000 Then we're partners? 124 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000 Okay, Dort. 125 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000 Great, kid. But now look, you get in the habit of calling me Glendon Braley. 126 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Oh, kiss me, Glend. 127 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000 It didn't take me long to cover the hundred miles to Santa Barbara. 128 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000 The reunion with Andelia was quite touching. 129 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,000 I sat on a low stool right by her wheelchair drinking tea that her housekeeper, Mrs. Parker, kept pouring. 130 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000 And we talked over old times. 131 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Oh, Glennie, it's so good to have you home again. 132 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000 Glennie. Nobody would you ever call me that. 133 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 The kids always call me Glenn or Curly, mostly. 134 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000 And how angry you used to get. You hated to be called Curly. 135 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Yeah, and when I got in a fight about that with Pudge Morseman, you sent me to bed without any supper. 136 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000 And then you took away my paints and crayons for a whole week. 137 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Not a whole week, Glennie. I relented on Sunday afternoon. 138 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Well, it seemed like a week. 139 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000 You did love to draw. Oh, that must be Mr. Crittenden. 140 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000 Crittenden? 141 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000 Yes, my attorney. He's been just wonderful to me since your uncle died. Handles all of my affairs. 142 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000 I've asked him to come up to meet you. Oh. 143 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000 I hope you don't mind. No, not at all, Andy. 144 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000 That's all right, Mrs. Parker. Don't worry. 145 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000 Come right in, Bryce. 146 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Hello, Delia. Ah, you look positively radiant. 147 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000 Oh. 148 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000 Where, where, where? Is this the practical nephew? 149 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,000 Yes, Bryce. This is Glennie. Or should I say, Mr. Crittenden, my nephew, Glendon Braley. 150 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000 How do you do, sir? 151 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000 How do you do? So this is Glennie. 152 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,000 Well, my boy, let me warn you that I know every infamous detail of your crime-ridden career. 153 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000 That is up until the time you were ten years old. 154 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000 No, Bryce. 155 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,000 I'm afraid, Andy, that Mr. Crittenden has an ipso facto case against you. 156 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000 No, I offer this tapestry on the wall as exhibit. Look. 157 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Yeah? Yeah, what do you mean? 158 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,000 Well, now, if you'll examine it closely, you'll see traces of a stain. 159 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:03,000 Andy, isn't that where I, I spilled the ink in, well, let's see, it's about 1929, right? 160 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000 Why, Glennie, do you remember that? 161 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Well, I certainly do. You spanked me with a hairbrush. 162 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Yeah, the accused has paid his debt to society, and the case dismissed. 163 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000 Oh, Glennie, that stain is worth more to me than the tapestry itself. 164 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000 Oh, now, Andy. 165 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Yeah, I think she means it, Glendon. Your arrival is already met in a ten years younger. 166 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000 Oh, how absolutely absurd. 167 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,000 In fact, Delia, I think you could get up out of that chair this minute and trounce me soundly at a game of tennis. 168 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000 There wasn't any doubt about it. I was in. 169 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000 And Delia's health improved so rapidly that I realized I'd have to think of a way to speed things up. 170 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000 That meant that I had to get Mrs. Parker, the housekeeper, out of the house for good. 171 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000 So I began devising little things to make her appear inefficient. 172 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,000 Andy wasn't supposed to have spices, so I sneaked in the kitchen and doctored the food up with pepper. 173 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000 After Mrs. Parker set the heating unit for the night, I got up and turned it off. 174 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000 Andy woke up freezing. 175 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:18,000 And Mrs. Parker became so confused and upset that she began helping me out by forgetting things and making mistakes all her own. 176 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000 Then one afternoon... 177 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:28,000 Lenny, I know Mrs. Parker means well, but as Dr. Davis says, I've got to have someone I can depend on at all times. 178 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:36,000 Well, I haven't liked to say anything. After all, she's been with you for so long, but, well, the poor old soul needs a rest. 179 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000 It's going to be difficult to tell her. 180 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:48,000 Now, I'll attend to that, Andy, and I'll see about getting another housekeeper, an intelligent, capable, younger woman. 181 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Hello? 182 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000 Raina, this is me. 183 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000 You know, Mr. Braley. 184 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Oh, yes. How are you? 185 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Great. Now, listen, kid, I'm calling from Santa Barbara. 186 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,000 Yeah? 187 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Get up here right away. Check in at the San Martin Hotel as Raina Derwin. 188 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000 Right. 189 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000 And wait there till I call you. We're in, baby, but good. 190 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Auto Light is bringing you Mr. Van Heflin in Murder of Antigua, tonight's production in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense. 191 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:52,000 Well, Mr. Wilcox, Hapa asked me to return this book to you. Your life story, he said. 192 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:59,000 Oh, you mean Wilcox of Wide Gap? That's a great yawn. Yarn. You'd like to hear one of the more electrifying episodes? 193 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000 Oh, sure. 194 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000 All right, listen. There it stood, a huge green monster. I'd been trailing it for weeks. Taking a Wide Gap Auto Light Resistor spark plug from my pocket, I sprang forward. 195 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Yeah, yeah, go ahead. 196 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:19,000 Look, I cried out, you obstinate obdurate auto, it's time you switched to these Auto Light Resistor spark plugs. You'll idle smoother, run better on leaner gas mixtures, save gas. 197 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:31,000 Another thing, your narrow gap spark plugs have been messing up television reception around town. But with Wide Gap Auto Light Resistor spark plugs, you'll reduce to an acceptable level spark plug interference with radio and television. 198 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:40,000 What's more, Auto Light Resistor spark plugs with that exclusive built-in 10,000 ohm Auto Light Resistor give you 200% longer electrode life. 199 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:48,000 So get Wide Gap Auto Light Resistor spark plugs. Get them right now. Remember, you're always right with Auto Light. 200 00:13:48,000 --> 00:14:07,000 And now Auto Light brings back to our Hollywood soundstage, our star Van Heflin in Murder of Ant Delia, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. 201 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:18,000 By the time Rena arrived in Santa Barbara, I had fixed up a set of references of her ability and character that would have flattered Florence Nightingale and season B Anthony. 202 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:26,000 Rena came out for an interview pretending she was sent by an employment agency I was supposed to have called. She made a terrific impression on the old lady. 203 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:36,000 But a nod from me, and he hired Rena on the spot. And Mrs. Parker left with a cardboard suitcase, a month's pay, red eyes, and the sniffles. 204 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000 After we got Auntie to bed that first night, Rena and I met out on the veranda. 205 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000 How was I, George? 206 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Shhh, that name. 207 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000 Nobody's around here. 208 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Don't take any chances. Call me Mr. Braley all the time. 209 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000 All right, Mr. Braley. How did I do? 210 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000 Perfect. Come on, let's walk out by the bluff, away from the house. 211 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000 Oh, this is sure some layout. Looks great in the moonlight. 212 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000 It'll all be ours, baby. 213 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000 You need to plan to live here after it's all over? 214 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:13,000 Oh, maybe for a little while. Depends on how long it takes me to convert her estate to cash. We can't do anything to excite suspicion, huh? 215 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000 No. 216 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:21,000 No. Right up ahead there is a cliff, a 200-foot drop onto some rocks. 217 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,000 You're going to push her? 218 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:29,000 Oh, no, no. Nothing is brutal as that. It's an accident. You take Auntie out for an airing in a wheelchair. 219 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:37,000 As you're pushing the chair, you trip and you fall. The chair starts rolling. You run after, but poor Auntie goes over the edge. 220 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000 You are hysterical, with shock. 221 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000 Yeah? What's wrong with you taking Auntie for an airing? 222 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000 Look, if I could do it, what would be the point of you being here at all? 223 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,000 Look, you're just an employee and brand new one. You have no reason on earth for croaking her for a dough. 224 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000 They just might get that idea if I was weaving her, see? 225 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000 Hmm. I guess you're right. 226 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,000 And that's why it's important for us not to have much to do with each other. 227 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:08,000 It's going to be difficult, though. Mr. Braley. No one can see us now, honey. 228 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000 Look, baby, now, let's not form any habits or it'll be tough to break. 229 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000 Just one kiss, please. 230 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000 Reena, come on. Stop that, you little... 231 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:28,000 Oh, baby. 232 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000 The next afternoon, Auntie and I were in the library. 233 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000 I was trying to look interested in the scrapbook she was pouring through. 234 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000 I hope she wouldn't notice how fidgety I was. 235 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:45,000 My eyes are so weak now, Glennie, but I know every detail of these just from memory. 236 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000 Here you are on your first tricycle. 237 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000 Oh, well, I'll be darned. Is that ever that small? 238 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000 It doesn't seem possible, does it? 239 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000 Oh, here's what I was looking for. 240 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000 The cow you drew when you were nine. 241 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000 Huh. 242 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000 You were quite the artist. 243 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000 Yeah, that's great. I was a surrealist or something. I colored it green. 244 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000 Green cow on purple grass. 245 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000 It caused quite a sensation at your school. 246 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,000 I wonder I wasn't expelled. 247 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Oh, Glennie. 248 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000 I've always been just sick about this picture. 249 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000 One of the few of you and me together. 250 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000 You broke away from me just as the photographer took it. 251 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000 Yeah, I'm just a blur. 252 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000 Say, what's the cat doing in it? 253 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000 Don't you remember? It's Xerxes. 254 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000 Don't you remember? 255 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000 Oh, yeah, sure. Oh, Xerxes, they purge you. 256 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Gee, the fun that he and I used to have together. 257 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:41,000 Of course, I used to tease him a lot when you weren't looking, but he sure was a... 258 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000 What's the matter, Auntie? 259 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000 Glennie, are you trying to fool your old auntie? 260 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000 What do you mean? 261 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000 You were frightened plum out of your wits by cats. 262 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000 You Xerxes so much as brushed up against you, you'd scream bloody murder. 263 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000 That's why you jumped when the picture was taken. 264 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Oh, yeah, yeah, I did, didn't I? Yeah, I... 265 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000 You were that way when you first came here. 266 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000 Don't you remember? Poor old Dr. Thompson. 267 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:11,000 He said it was a deep-seated phobia, and you'd probably have it all your life, like Napoleon. 268 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000 Did it go away, Glennie, this fear of cats? 269 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000 Well, most of it. You know, a guy sort of... 270 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000 He doesn't like to remember what a coward he was when he was a kid. 271 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000 Maybe she was satisfied with that explanation, 272 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000 but I thought she watched me a lot closer after that with her dim old eyes. 273 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000 Rena and I couldn't put it off much longer. I might make a real break. 274 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000 That night, Rena and I set it up. I said, uh... 275 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Tomorrow, right after breakfast. 276 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Oh. You'll come with me, won't you? 277 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000 No, honey, look, it'll be better if I'm not around. 278 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 But you don't have to be right there. Just be where I can see you. 279 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000 I couldn't do it all alone. I don't know if... 280 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000 All right, all right, but don't lose your nerve, kid. Now, don't lose your nerve. 281 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000 I didn't sleep much that night. 282 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000 The next morning, Rena and I got the old lady in her wheelchair. 283 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000 There you are, Auntie. 284 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,000 How's that? 285 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,000 Thank you, Glennie. My, isn't it a lovely day? 286 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000 It certainly is, Mrs. Farnham. 287 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000 Perhaps I'd better have a scarf over my head. 288 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000 I'll run upstairs and get one. 289 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,000 Would you mind, dear? 290 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000 There are two scarves there. 291 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000 I'll go and get one. 292 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000 I'll go and get one. 293 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000 I'll go and get one. 294 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000 There are two scarves here on the sofa. 295 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000 Never mind, mister, when there's some down here. 296 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000 All right. 297 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000 Which one do you want, Addy? The green and red one or the blue and yellow? 298 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000 Why, oh, it doesn't matter, Glennie, either one. 299 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000 Well, this one I think will go better with that robe you're wearing. 300 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Yes, so it will. 301 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000 Well, come on, let's go. 302 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000 Wait, I've changed my mind. 303 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,000 What? You mean about going out? 304 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,000 Yes, yes, it's so much bother. 305 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000 Bother, oh, nothing. You need some fresh air, Addy. 306 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000 I'll just sit here by the open window. 307 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Well, look, you need some sun. Come along, Miss Dillon. 308 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000 Please, Glennie, I don't want to go. 309 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000 I just want to stay here and rest. Please. 310 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,000 Well, yeah, sure, Addy, okay, if you don't want to go. 311 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Addy finally calmed down, but she still had Lena put her to bed. 312 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:33,000 Then she asked me to drive to town to get her some medicine she was out of. 313 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:41,000 I was hoping the old lady was coming down with something that would save Lena and me the trouble of that last wheelchair ride, but no. 314 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000 Next morning was cloudy and sultry. 315 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000 When I got downstairs, Lena already had the old girl out on the lawn in her wheelchair. 316 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000 She came over to me and whispered, 317 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000 She just wants to stay there, Dorian, no ride. 318 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000 That's tough, she's going anyway. Come on, Lena. 319 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000 Well, she makes a fuss. 320 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000 I think two of us can handle an old lady in a wheelchair. 321 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,000 But if she screams. 322 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000 So what? This estate is as isolated as Alcatraz. Come on, now, let's get it over with. 323 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000 All right. It's starting to sprinkle. 324 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000 Well, hurry up. Let's finish this before we get wet. 325 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000 Glennie, Miss Dillon, it's starting to rain. 326 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000 Yes, yes, we're coming, Addy. 327 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000 I knew it would rain today. I knew it. 328 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000 Sure, sure, well, here we go, Addy. 329 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000 You came just in time. I thought you'd forgotten me. 330 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000 Forget you, Addy. Well, don't be silly. 331 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000 Oh, man, it's starting to come down. Hurry or we'll be soaked. 332 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000 Glennie, the house is back that way. 333 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000 Just relax, Addy. 334 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000 Lena, help me push her, will you? 335 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,000 Sure. 336 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Come on, let's make this quick. Come on, faster. 337 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000 Glennie, what are you doing? Stop it. Not too fast. 338 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000 Glennie, do you hear?
