decent thing to do is bury

it I um called my attorney earlier today

complicated there's the cat the dog the

oh Mrs

Hawks what are you doing

here where is Mrs Chapel what that oh

hold on a minute what' you say I am

asked you where Mrs Chapel is I don't

keep tabs on your sister she's always

Gall Mountain somewhere she's not home

no what time did she leave sech me she

was gone from the house when I got here

that's all I know what time was that my

regular time

3:00 but I I talked to her on the phone

just a few minutes before 3 well I can't

help that I was here at my regular hour

just like always but that's not possible

you would have seen her leaving on the

way from your house wouldn't

you are you calling me a liar Mrs

way well no of course not Mrs Hawks I I

was only trying to be logical there's no

way from here to the highway set past

your house and it must take at least 5

minutes to walk the road from your house

to here I know what time I got here I

can't say what time you spoke to your

sister so I don't know if I should have

seen her going to the highway or not do

it Mrs Hawks I tried to call here twice

between 3: and 4: and the phone was off

the hook then someone put it back on and

when I called again there was no

answer and you insist you were here all

that time Mrs Wright some people have

work to do I am trying to do mine now I

don't know nothing about no phone I came

in here at 3:00 and I went straight

upstairs today is my upstairs

day and you probably didn't hear the

phone ringing because your hearing aid

was turned

off well there wouldn't be nobody

calling me

here what about girl have you seen

her have you seen the dog Mrs Hawks

there's no need to shout no I didn't not

hid in her hair she probably with it

when she

[Music]

left oo it's freezing in

here no

[Applause]

Wonder hello

hello is Susan there no she isn't who's

calling please this is Edith Jordan oh

Edith hi how are you this is Katherine

Wayne wght Catherine Wayne oh Catherine

hi when did you get down here oh an hour

or so ago oh well will Susan be back

soon I imagine she will she wasn't here

when I arrived and since she didn't know

I was coming I really can't be sure she

might have gone somewhere for dinner

well I doubt that unless she's on her

way

here have you spoken to Susan since last

night yes late this afternoon then you

know what she's decided uh-huh yes we

had quite a long chat this morning

too I told her to come over and have

dinner and sleep over she said she'd let

me

know then I I don't understand

apparently she's been gone for a couple

of hours Mrs Hawks has been here since 3

and Mrs Hawks what's she doing there so

in pink slip that old bab

ax she finally fired her she told me so

last night they had words more than

usual I gather are you sure Susan gave

her two weeks pay and a boat in the rear

if it been me she could go whistle for

her two weeks well then what's she doing

here well I always did think that that

old witch was a little bit touched you

know how possessive she is about banning

that house she obviously won't take gold

for an answer until she's thrown out Bly

but I wouldn't advise you to try it I'm

sure her bite is poisonous well if she

does come to your house will you uh have

her call me of course I'll have her

phone you right away and if she comes

home let me know will you I'm kind of

worried about her the state of mind

she's in yes I I will Edith bye-bye

Stone Cold

[Applause]

Mrs Hawks the furnace isn't working

furnace ain't my

business do you know how to turn it on

no don't you have a furnace at your

house not one of them new fangled oil

burner things if you're cold sit by the

fire

h

[Music]

what were you doing down there getting

the furnace started Mrs

Haw don't you have any idea where Mrs

Chapel might have been all this time she

could have gone to see her lawyer I

suppose about the divorce how would you

know about the divorce it was just

decided last night it's been coming for

a long time anybody with eyes could see

that do you realize that Mr Chapel is

likely to lose this house if she goes

through with a divorce now that's hardly

your Affair oh ain't it this house has

been my Affair for the past 10 years

every day from breakfast till the dinner

dishes was washed and put away this

house and Mr Chapel mine until she came

along that's enough Mrs

Hawks not you needn't bother about

dinner and if you're finished with your

other work you can

go I'm sure that Mrs Chapel will be home

soon and we'll fix something for

ourselves number one I ain't finished

with my other work number two this is

Wednesday on Wednesday Mr Chapel always

has my New England boil dinner Mr Chapel

won't be home for dinner he's in Los

Angeles that's so nobody told me you can

take my word for

it and neither Mrs Chapel nor I like

boiled food in this house I take my

orders from Mr

Chapel uh Mrs Hawks you leave me no

choice I happened to know that Mrs

Chapel fired you so if you'd be kind

enough to

leave I'm been working for Mr Chapel for

a long

time he hired me he's the only one who

can fire on

me did you hear what I

said I want you to go

strange well her her car's in the garage

I I thought she'd come home when I saw

it but I guess a friend picked her up

the car has been here all the time could

be

but

Catherine I think you should call the

police and report her is missing the

police

really you really think I

should well uh maybe maybe I will good

Catherine I hate to think of you there

all alone I was going to suggest that

Harry pick you up so you could join us

for dinner but I just heard on the radio

that route one is closed by Rock slides

between there and

here well that's very thoughtful of you

Edith but I'm

okay I'm probably being

foolish I've been jumping at sounds and

imagining all sorts of

things I'd hate to be alone in that

house on a night like this especially

with all your worry about

Susan oh I I'd really be spooked

well I I I definitely think you should

call the

police

hello

hello

Edith hello

[Applause]

who is

it who's there pretty sure man

Mr way yes is there something going

wrong oh no ma'am uh Mrs Edith Jordan

called Headquarters and asked us to look

in on you make sure you're all right oh

yes I'm fine come in please

than your phone still out of order yes

I'm afraid so I just tried it

again well we've reported it but there

are so many lines down from the storm

I'm afraid it'll be quite a while before

the phone company gets around to you Mrs

Jordan wanted you to know that she's

calling around trying to locate your

sister tell her you're here oh thank you

I I've been quite concerned now

emergency vehicles can get through on

Route One to the north so if you'd like

us to take you by Mrs Jordan's home she

thought you might want to spend the

night with her well that's very kind of

you but uh Mrs Chapel might be coming in

any time now and I I'd rather be here

well you could leave her a note no no

I'll stay here but would would it be

possible if Mrs Chapel is stranded

somewhere for you to uh let me know yes

ma'am we'll keep in touch with Mrs

Jordan or she hears anything we'll get

back to you thank you now is there

anything else we can do for you oh yes

uh part of a tree broke through the

window upstairs and it's too heavy for

me to move the room's getting soaked I

think we can fix that but uh we'll need

something to block it off with oh I

think we can find something in the

basement must be something down here you

can use wa a minute I think this will

work how big is that window man think

that'll cover it oh yes that should be

fine yeah take that so we'll need

something to hold us in place I'll take

couple of these two bus

[Applause]

[Music]

I think that'll hold it man thank you

very

much it's all right girl there's a

highway patrol car stationed at the

slide about 2 mi North on Route One so

if you change your mind or you need any

help yes all right and thank you again

what are you doing here where are you

going I'm leaving the lights are out get

out of the rain you're getting

soaked listen I saw the police going out

past my house and I was wondering well

is something wrong here what did they

want no they they just brought me a

message from Mrs Jordan what happened to

your life I don't know the storm I

suppose oh that ain't likely we're on

the same line and my lights is okay

maybe it's a fuse I better take a

look I'll light the candles there's a

flashlight here somewhere

here it

is and here's the

fuses I I thought it might be a fuse but

I don't know where the fuse box is

what's in the basement you better come

with me why well my eyes ain't so good

sometimes it's hard to know which ones

is blown

[Music]

Mrs way you got to understand about Mr

Chapel he's pretty much in debt and a

divorce right now it could finish him

Mrs Hawks I really don't care to discuss

Mr Chapel's problem with you he'd lose

this house

everything I understand how you feel

about Mr Chapel but this is between Mr

chapel and Mrs Chapel you think he

married her for a money don't you Mrs

Hawks

please what's what's

this the H

handles it's on

off

you all the time

what I knew there was someone in this

house you never went home did you what

are you talking about you turned off the

lights to frighten me why do you really

hate my sister that much you're talking

crazy down here in the basement making

noises to frighten me you're trying to

drive me out of this house now what

would I go skullking around here for I

don't know but I heard you I heard

you did you tell that to the

police yes I

did you're lying

do any searching I was outside watching

you told them they didn't believe

you it was you all the

time get out of this

house get out get out

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

Susan

Susan oh

Ben

Catherine well hello I certainly didn't

expect to see you here but I guess I

shouldn't be too surprised should I

under the circumstances

obviously Susan told you Susan isn't

here she's not well where is she I don't

know Ben I'm worried I've been here for

hours I I've even been outside looking

for

her or maybe she drove up to see you her

car's in the

garage well that's

odd well probably a friend came to pick

her up she may have felt the need to

talk I suppose you know about about us

yes she told me on the phone that's why

I decided to come down but when I got

here she wasn't here she told me you

were going to Los Angeles on business

well I was on my way after our blow up

last night I thought it would be a good

idea if we both had some time to cool

off but on my way to the airport I

started to have second

thoughts I was halfway up the steps of

the plane when I just turned around came

back down again I sat in the airport and

I thought over all the things that we

had said to each other and the more I

thought about it the

worse well anyway that plane took off

without me and then the next one and

finally I decided that I would come on

back and try my damnedest to find some

way to patch things up certainly more

important than any business

trip I'll find her the phone's out of

order

[Applause]

but it's dead all

right well I'm going to go up and change

out of these wet things maybe the phone

will be fixed by

then

Ben did you know that Susan fired Mrs

Hawks yes it was pretty rough on the old

girl I mean after being here all these

years but I don't blame Susan Mrs Hawks

looked on her as a usurp ever since we

got married well she was here today

cleaning and cooking as

usual she was not only that she's been

trying to frighten me into

leaving now cathine I find that hard to

believe but it's true she's had me

climbing the walls I I think she resents

me even more than she does Susan you

really think

so well the fact is I'm not too sure

that Mrs Hawks is quite all

there Ben

you don't suppose Mrs Hawks could have

done something to Susan do you

what well I suppose it is

possible no I mean what am I saying the

idea is

ridiculous Catherine nobody has done

anything to

Susan you you're so jumpy it's beginning

to affect

[Applause]

me

[Applause]

B how did you get here what what do you

mean the highway it's

closed oh yeah of course well I had to

take the back road the one that cuts in

just north of Wilton Corners it's mostly

a dirt road well mud now and uh it's

washed out a couple of miles from me I

had to walk from there well that's why

I'm such a mess

Catherine relax We're worrying about

nothing Susan's spending the night with

a friend I'm sure of it you'll see what

what about the people you were supposed

to meet in Los Angeles your business

appointment won't they be wondering

where you are I called my office from

the airport and told my secretary to

phone down and

cancel your secretary at Sloan and

Simpson well of course what else

what's with you

Kate uh

nothing I I I I I just

[Applause]

wondered you really are Shook Up

[Music]

[Applause]

well I feel a lot better have you tried

the phone again

no still

nothing Ben does Susan know about your

job know

what I called Sloan and Simpson earlier

today to find out where I could reach

you in Los

Angeles I see and what you found out is

that I'd been

sacked no Susan doesn't

know oh I

see that's what all those questions were

all about were you really going to Los

Angeles yes to see my contacts ex

customers and all that I've been beating

the bushes these last month trying to

locate a new situation hopefully before

before I had to tell Susan I'd blown the

old

one I guess you've been under a lot of

pressure lately

pressure you mean money

yes is uh is that part of the trouble

between you and

Susan

not

directly would you like a drink

Catherine no thank you well I think I'm

going to have another one still haven't

gotten the chill out of my bones

what do you mean not

directly

oh it bugs me I mean not being able to

give Susan the things I'd like to I've

got my share of male ego and it bothers

me whenever she uses her own money to

buy clothing and things no reason why

she shouldn't I suppose not but uh it

triggered more than one argument for

which I take full

responsibility but you know I've always

wanted to make a go of it on what I

earn I would have thought that the extra

15,000 that Susan Drew from her trust

fund last month would have eased things

for you a

bit so she told you about

that no my attorney

did I

see well some of my creditors were

getting a bit nasty

speaking of lawyers did you know that

Susan's planning to see her lawyer

tomorrow about the

divorce well I suppose I'm not all that

surprised a divorce now would put you in

a bind wouldn't

it I guess I haven't thought that much

about it because it's not going to

happen the truth is our difficulties are

just a bunch of mole Hills piled one on

top of another until they look like an

insurmountable

Mountain we'll work it out you'll see

those mole Hills money and other women

look Catherine I know that Susan was

just a little suspicious about some of

my business trips but I gave up those

one night stands long before we were

[Applause]

married Ben I found Susan's keys and her

wallet upstairs I can't imagine why she

would have gone out without them

well she has another set of keys and why

would she need her wallet if she's

having dinner at her friend's house yes

I I suppose but I I can't get it out of

my head that maybe this afternoon she

went outside for something and and uh in

the storm had an accident she could be

lying out there

somewhere your imagination's working

overtime okay it'll make you feel

better I'll go out and look

thanks

Ben looks like the rain's let up

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

what are you doing what's got into you

cin where do you think you're

going suddenly I just couldn't sit there

any

longer Ben I'm frightened of what

something terrible has happened to Susan

I know it I'm sure of it Ben if I could

just get to the police and tell them

Catherine you're not making any sense I

mean we're stuck here until morning is

no place to go no they they're police at

the roadblock if we could just tell them

Catherine you're letting your

imagination run wild come on we go

inside and sit down quietly and I'll

give you a nice stiff drink

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

come

on sit

down here we go down my hatch

one

more all of it this

time I'll be all right in a minute in a

minute if you drink that all down come

on Ben I'm sorry it's just that it's

been such a nerve-wracking day I'm all

right now you sure yes but I'm

exhausted of

course if you don't mind I think I'll uh

go up and lie down I feel as if I could

sleep for a week good idea oh I I can

make it well you get some sleep I'll

wake you when Susan gets

home

Catherine the phone company's probably

repairing the lines right now I'm sure

we'll have service any minute
