you reach Walter no he isn't at home and I called the office but he'd already left there well how about the golf club he'd been there and gone well didn't Mrs Harold know where he went Mrs Harold's not home either there's no answer at all you mean there's no one in the house no and I even had the operator check the line L to be sure the phone is working she might be out shopping or something call Mrs um what's her name the woman who moved in next door Mrs Frasier yes and find out from her if if Mrs Harold is there I don't tend to have my servants running all around the neighborhood yes har come in Oh Come come in Mrs Craig sit down won't you thank you well have you seen your mother this morning yes I just left her I'm terribly worried doctor she doesn't seem to be getting any better is there nothing more we can do for her we're doing everything we can Mrs Craig you see some people find circumstances too difficult to deal with and they they take various means of Escape one is to withdraw into a sort of inner world where nothing can hurt them that's what's happened to your mother before we can bring her out of it we must learn what has caused it and that will take a great deal of time and patience you know about my father don't you I only know what your mother has told me it's his fault that's where it all started isn't it I'm afraid it's not quite as simple as that cases like your mothers are rarely the result of any single cause no no I don't blame your father entirely well I do I was only 14 when he left us we could have starved to death for all he cared you have no idea what my mother went through what we both went through I'm sorry hello how long have you been married Mrs Craig almost four years you're happily married aren't you yes of course do you have children no I hope you don't have any fears because of your mother there's nothing hereditary in her illness no it isn't that Mr Craig doesn't want want any he doesn't like children I see I didn't been depri to your personal affairs Mrs Craig I was only trying to point out that you have your own life to live and apparently it's quite different from your mother's yes it is good day doctor good day oh Mrs Craig you will be here a few days more won't you yes doctor then we'll be talking to each other again of course oh Dr Lambert this is my cousin Miss Raymond how do you do Miss Raymond how do you do well will you excuse me certainly what did you find out I talked to Mrs Frasier she hadn't seen Mrs Harold not at all no she said she hadn't seen anyone around the house all day strange CLA I think we'll take the train back tonight there's nothing more I can do for mother anyway shall I wire Walter no no I think [Music] not you're not worried about wder are you Harriet I was just thinking I don't like trains why not I don't like the feeling of being rushed along in the darkness having no control putting my life completely in someone else's hands when you got married did you feel something like that no I didn't but the average woman does put her life completely in someone else's hands her husband's that's why she usually comes to grief but don't tell me you were thinking about marriage no of course not then why did you ask you're not pinning your hopes on that young man who works with Walter are you no I was just wondering every girl thinks about marriage sometimes yes but the trouble is most of them think of it in terms of romantic illusions marriage is a practical matter a man wants a wife in a home a woman wants security but you had that before you were married oh yes I had a good job I'd come a long way from working in a laundry but I don't mean just Economic Security I mean emotional security the assurance that you can be absolutely certain of your husband at all times without any fears and without any doubts you certainly trust Walter don't you so long as I know exactly what he's doing yes but if he does anything I think might lead to trouble I find a way to put a stop to it you see no man's born ready for marriage he has to be trained have you done that with Walter well of course I have doesn't he mind you don't think I'd let him know do you there's some things you just don't tell men well you must be right because your marriage is perfect I've never seen a man so devoted to his wife as Walter is to you yes yes he is isn't he [Music] what do you think happened shall I call Mrs Harold she's not here are you sure she wouldn't dare leave things like this [Music] oh don't bother Harriet I'll clean it up Claire take those roses out of [Music] here [Music] e [Music] [Music] har hello sleepy here you real don't I look real Fe real hey I haven't seen you for a week Madam it's a good thing I didn't stay away any longer sure W how's my beautiful wife weary gee I missed you yes I can imagine when the looks of things downstairs you were all alone last night just pining away for me must be a terrible mess down there It Is Well you see Billy blew into town yesterday afternoon Billy yeah Billy burkmar he just got back from Japan how exciting oh you're telling me I can't keep up with him anymore I thought we'd have dinner and a couple of drinks and instead we wind up here in an all night poker game I won $30 well I meant to clean things up this morning but it was so late when the party broke up last night why isn't Mrs Harold here oh I gave her the weekend off I didn't think I'd need her that was very generous of you I'm sorry Harriet I know how you feel about the house it's more than a house Walter it's our home treating it carelessly is one thing but to turn it into a cheap Roadhouse for a pack of strangers the minute my back is turned it's it's not only disgusting but but disrespectful to me har what do you think went on here last night I don't know and perhaps I'd better not here I told you we just had a poker game there was no one here you don't know Billy the tiltons the shiffers just the old crowd that was all of course that was all well let's not talk about it anymore I'm glad you had a good time I wish you'd let me know you were coming I'd have met you at the station I tried to call you all day yesterday but no one was home well well you see I how's your mother oh about the same the doctor wanted me to stay on but when I couldn't reach you well naturally I was worried for all I knew you might have had an accident I guess I shouldn't have let Mrs Harold off of course I didn't realize how much you've been enjoying yourself without me me you don't realize how miserable I've been without you I suppose now and then you do long for the old days when you were a bachelor like Billy burm with no responsibilities and nobody's feelings to consider but your own I wouldn't trade the life I have now for what it was for for anything in the world you should have seen me moping around this house all alone last week every night when I went to sleep I saw you in front of me did you Dary yes I had some very interesting dreams too remind me to tell you about them sometime am I forgiven have I ever not forgiven you let's not have any more of these separations for a while H I'll never let you out of my sight again Walter Walter you need a shake do I and you're all unbrushed and undressed har shall I make some coffee what did you say say Claire I was wondering if you wanted me to make some coffee coffee is she kidding yes will you please we'll be right there we have to [Music] [Music] eat hi Mr Craig hi Danny what's good oh nothing very much how's it with you all about the same good morning Mrs frasure good morning Mr Craig beautiful morning isn't it I hope we didn't keep you awake last night oh heavens no you sound as though you're having a good time we were as a matter of fact Mr Craig since you're alone wouldn't you like to come over and let me fix breakfast for you my wife just got back oh how nice well thanks anyway Mr Craig yeah could I please see at Tracy why sure he's not in our paper they left him a prisoner in the ice house last week oh looks like he's in still worst trouble gosh oh Danny what do you think of that ke Mr Craig Walter dear breakfast they're coming good morning Mrs Craig good morning I'll save those d I want to read him too you know okay you know that kid is getting cuter every day yes he is how's his mother oh fine [Music] fine I found some of her roses in the living room this morning roses oh Mrs Fraser she brought them over Friday afternoon the radio was on the blink so I fixed it for her really how did you find out the radio was broken oh I talked to her a couple of times while I was getting the car out in the morning oh I'm sorry dear well she's tending to her roses that's right as a matter of fact that's where she usually is of course she is I must say she's not very ingenious the funny thing is I don't think she realizes that everybody knows exactly why she does does it why she does what wal why do you suppose some women always go around with a dog on a leash I don't know why because it facilitates the approach approach approach to what to men to you darling all you wouldn't be jealous would you not at all dear I'm just trying to save you embarrassment and I'm suspicious of well-to-do young widows who specialize in approaches you're kidding of course bie you're a very sweet guess person maybe that's why one of the reasons I love you so look if this routine wasn't so flattering look delicious thank you hello Walder hi CLA how are you fine hey how was the trip oh fine thanks hey Wes Miller was asking about you really yeah he was hoping you dropped the line while you're were away why why oh come now we just fallen for you that's all no waler stop teasing her I'm not teasing the boy wants another date speaking of which blonde is Billy birkmire running around with these days just got in yesterday that should be plenty of time for Billy is he back from Japan for good no he's here in a vacation oh was good to see him again I had a wonderful time last night I hadn't realized how much I missed the old crowd I thought you said it was me you'd been missing you know Mary Tilton said that they hadn't seen us in over a year and the shiffers haven't been here in almost 2 years you've been very busy dear not that busy something wrong Harriet I know we haven't been asking them over but they have asked us either I don't understand I suppose it's simply because they've never liked me what they resent me particularly the women was ridiculous and I've always had a feeling too that they were rather suspicious of my background though heaven knows it's as good as anything they have to offer honey you're dreaming that out if you're going to let a notion like that bother you it doesn't bother me cuz I'm not at all sure they're the kind of people we should be friendly with do you mean you deliberately haven't been asking them I didn't say that Walter look at it from my point of view would any woman want that gang in her house look what happened last night I don't want my home turned into a clubhouse funy they're my friends they played in this house when we were kids why my mother practically raised the entire neighborhood perhaps she did but I'm sure she wouldn't have approved of last night we played poker in this house every Thursday night for 10 years until 2 or 3:00 in the morning and my mother loved it but darling I I didn't think we needed other people around to make us happy it isn't that I don't like to entertain as a matter of fact Claire and I were talking about that very thing on the train I thought we'd give a dinner party this Saturday night if that is if it's all right with you all right that's fine I'd love it let's make out a guest list right now I'll get a pad and write them down coffee please now let's see who would you like the tiltons of course oh Joe said they're going to be away next weekend oh that's too bad the shippers and Billy the shippers and Billy birkmire CLA by the way should we get a girl for him oh he'll bring somebody Billy burm and friend now who else it's your turn well I was thinking of the winstons you know that nice woman I met at Red Cross we owe them an invitation we've only been to their house once well we still owe them and since they're such good friends of the Norwoods I thought it'd be nice to ask them too they've good kids older than we are you know who else we should invite who the Fenwick thought we were going to have fun it's this party for business or for pleasure is it so unusual to invite your boss to dinner you like him don't you oh he's all right but they tell me that wife of his is really something Walter come on let's see who we have oh I'll get it the shiffers billi and friend the Winston the Norwoods and the Fenwick I'll call them all the first thing in the morning I don't think you better call Billy and Al Schiffer I don't think they'd have a very good time with that crowd why not for one thing their arteries haven't hardened yet maybe we can have them over another time huh well all right dear if that's the way you want it sometime when the tiltons get back in town huh that' be better it's for you Walder

you dear you don't seem very cheerful tonight something wrong no Billy dropped by the lab this afternoon I think he's a little hurt about the party but you were the one who said we should ask him some other time yeah I know but I was kind of embarrassing but we can't very well ask him now can we come on let's go to bed I'm tired Claire's been absolutely no help to me all week she's been acting like a giddy cool girl you better get used to doing without her looks like you're going to lose it to West Miller serious is that oh it is with West I'll be surprised if he gets through another week without putting a down payment on a ring seems a little Hasty to me Wes knows what he wants they'll be all right I hope so CLA deserves to be happy [Music] what's the matter somebody sick no but I think they've gone to bed this hour it's early yet Harriet's had a very difficult day oh quite a place yes isn't it did you have fun tonight oh I had a wonderful time with how about tomorrow night I'm afraid I can't why not well I'll have to watch things in the kitchen I've hardly helped Harriet with the party at all you mean you stay in the kitchen all evening I'd rather I'd just be uncomfortable with a lot of people I didn't know say uh how come a smart girl like you isn't holding down a good job someplace well for a while oh W please be careful of that vase it's awfully valuable it means more to Harriet than anything in the house I'm sorry as I was saying for a while I had a place in the bank but there's so many things I can do around here for Harriet you mean you get paid for what you do here oh heavens W I can never begin to pay Harriet for all the things she's done for me why she took me in last year after my parents died when I had nowhere to turn I also so much to her all right all right if there just an innocent question oh W don't sit on the arm I don't think it's very strong well I'd rather sit here [Music] anyway do you always have to entertain your boyfriends in this uh I think it's a beautiful room yeah but uh it's not exactly cozy anyway I've never had any boyfriends what do you mean I just haven't that's all well you've got one now but we've only known each other long enough look you don't have to be uncomfortable with me oh I'm not with honest honest it's just that sometimes I don't quite know how I should act I think you're acting kind of cute do [Music] you yes Harriet I thought you were alone I didn't realize you had someone with you Harry you haven't met Wes yet this is my cousin Mrs Craig Wes Miller how do you do pleased to meet you Mrs Craig I suppose you know I work for your husband yes I know he's quite a guy thank you I hope we didn't disturb you Harriet no not at all I thought I heard you come in wondered if you'd fix me a cup of tea but it doesn't matter I'll get it myself well that's all right Mrs Craig I've got to be going anyway take care of yourself Claire good night Mrs Craig good night Mr Miller where thank you oh don't mention it I'll be seeing you well you two seem to be getting quite friendly I'll make your tea right away no don't bother it was only an excuse I've been waiting up for you I was worried you didn't have to be after what Walter told me I asked him if Wes was serious about you Walder just laughed and said well what if he isn't a fling with a guy like Wes who knows his way around might be good for CLA Walter said there I was just furious with him men are so disloyal is that the way Wes feels about me according to Walter yes Wes implied that you could be well Carried Away by the first man who looked at you apparently he's been quite successful in that direction I can't believe it he seemed so nice well obviously that's his technique it seems he uses a different approach with each girl in your case I guess he felt he must lull you into a sense of security did did he say that to Walter men aren't very sensitive creatures Claire they discuss everything with great relish now you know why I was worried don't let it hurt you too much it's better to find out about it now isn't it I'll make us both a cup of tea no har I'll do it please I'd rather all right dear but bring it upstairs will you this has been such a tiring day I've had to do everything for the party myself me after that dinner I'll have to start producing again I'm so glad you enjoyed it Mrs Fenwick you've a lovely home Harriet thank you everything seems so carefully chosen don't you think so Mrs Fenwick yes very correct Walter must be very proud of what you've done with it well you know men they sometimes like things better the way their mothers had them thank no thank you this was your husband's home yes he was brought up here here what an Exquisite vase yes isn't it thank you it's early Ming Dynasty around 1400 there's a legend connected with the vases of that period Chinese wives always fill them with rice from their wedding feasts it was supposed to protect their homes nowadays it takes more than [Laughter] rice I agree the changes will come in the communication system but we must adopt them slowly or we'll unbalance the whole capital structure that's quite true yes we must be careful what do you think water oh I'm afraid I didn't get the last part sir I said we must be careful in making changes or we'll unbalance the whole capital structure yes that's quite right Henry stop balancing the capital structure on poor Mr Craig's head yes please do because Walder has difficulty enough balancing his checkbook as Harry's a family treasure well there's a woman after my own heart I expect you and I are the frivolous type oh by the way are you really as good at Jin Ry as you boasted at dinner do you want me to prove it yes I'm sorry but I don't think we have any cards I bought a couple of decks while you were away remember good excuse us see you later Henry watch us she cheats oh I will shall we play three across make it easy on yourself well it looks as though my husband walked off with your wife well I'm not complaining it's a fair exchange thank you would you like a Brandy no I think not would anyone like a Brandy no thank you perhaps I better see what's holding up the coffee excuse me poor Miss Raymond she seems so miserable upstairs all alone I'll bet she's having trouble with a young man probably but I'm sure it doesn't make Mrs Craig unhappy if Miss Raymond ever goes up on her own The Madam will have to get along with only two servants don't don't you ever intend to serve the coffee we've been waiting for quite some time well it's my fault Mrs Craig I thought I'd take a tray up to miss Raymond if Miss Raymond can't have her dinner at the regular hour then she can wait for it but she's hardly eaten a thing all day at a time like this A girl's got to keep up her strength really ly I didn't know my cousin had confided in you now look what you've done I'm sorry Mrs Craig being sorry won't menend the cup that was my best coffee service LTE didn't do it on purpose Mrs Craig I didn't ask for your opinion Mrs Harold will you please take the coffee in my guests are still waiting very well Mrs Craig I don't know what's the matter with me tonight perhaps if you'd spend more time thinking about your duties instead of prying into other people's I just felt sorry for her Mrs Craig you seem to feel sorry about almost everything don't you lty well that's not good enough I refuse to put up with your stupidity and clumsiness any longer but Mrs you'll pack your back bags and leave here the first thing in the morning I'll have Mrs Harold give you your wages minus the cost of the cup Walter doesn't suit you haven't you a a nickname they used to call me but Harry didn't think it was dignified thinkink I like that my name is Celia I can't very well call you Celia and your husband Mr Fenwick I'll call him Henry that's what I call him in my gentler moods ocilia I want you to meet an old friend Mrs Harold this is Mrs Fenwick oh how do you do how do you do Mrs Fenwick care to uh sweeten that up with a little Brandy that fool doctor of mine says that I'll drink myself into an early grave Napoleon is weighing back I know whose draw

month lucky stiff oh I seem to detect a slightly wistful note well I'm interested in the new system we're installing over there I help develop it you know is that the only reason that would be nice to take the trip I've never been out of the country as a matter of fact I've never been anywhere very much I think I got a first class case of the Traveler's itch why haven't you and your wife any children that's our biggest disappointment the doctor told harri she couldn't have any so we have to talk about it anymore oh two orders of Randy oh didn't mean to bother you dear no bother darling

a rogue to catch a rogue s you if this happens again I'm going to have to call the house [Laughter] detective why didn't you tell me water cran was so amusing I never knew him socially until tonight well he's a very Charming boy how is it his work he the best sound engineer we have he's developed several of our basic patents then he might be a valuable man in that Communications job in Japan might he yes yes I suppose they would get the job done faster and if he managed it well that might lead to better things in the company might it yes yes it might what's going on in that conniving brain of yours Celia well you've been looking for a new executive who understands the technical end who can also get along with people now it seems to me that Walter Craig has gone as far as he can in the laboratory and is ready for something more important I never thought of him in that life very good man of course but he's always seem satisfied where he is water Craig has more sides to him than you've had the the opportunity to observe of course he might not want to leave his wife he's devoted to her couldn't she go along afraid not I made restrictions oh well that would complicate matters wouldn't it however it's worth a try a short separation is sometimes the best thing for a marriage I don't think the Craig's marriage needs anything he has a sensible wife who's made him a fine home he's a very fortunate man well isn't he Harriet Craig is a very goodlooking [Music] woman [Music] Mr BM I heard you were in town you're a sight for Sor eyes so are you you're getting younger every day

better fine fine well cigarette no thank you mind if I do no oh thank you well I guess I don't want one either I didn't know I was going to beat Waller home but I had to rush right over to congratulate him it's a swell break for him and for me too yes sir there's nobody I'd rather take a walk around the block with let alone a plain trip to Japan Japan that's right Waller and I together we'll do a great job over there oh oh you you haven't oh Burk me you sure put your great big foot in your great big mouth look Harriet pretend I didn't say a word pretend I wasn't here pretend you never heard of me Billy are we going to take a little trip son or are we going to take a little trip sure we're going to say over the ocean we're going what's the matter with you oh Harriet bye Harriet Billy told you didn't he wasn't I supposed to know oh sure but I wanted to tell you myself I was going to phone but with news like this when did you find out about it just this afternoon Fenwick called me in out of the blue I told him I wanted to talk to you but I was sure it'd be all right how long would you be gone not too long 3 months at the outside that may not seem very long to you weren't you the one who said we should never be separated I don't like that part of it either but well it's under the Army there's nothing we can do well let's think about it later shall we there's still plenty of time I'm afraid there's not I told him I'd let him know tomorrow morning got to take off in 10 days so soon the sooner I go the sooner I get back yes but shouldn't we discuss this you you this is a big promotion I'll have charge of the whole job it'll get me out of that lab I'll I'll see new people new things I'll have a chance to see one of my jobs in operation yes I know the trip will be wonderful for you but what about me have you thought of what it would mean to me to our marriage I've seen this sort of thing happened before Walter to other people a man gets ambitious restless and the first thing you know is job and his friends become more important to him than his wife and his home but there'll be other trips you'll be able to go with me but what about the times I won't be able to go well don't you see daring I don't want anything to happen to us it's so easy for two people to drift apart not if they love each other but it isn't as though you need a better job we have enough already and we've been so happy why do we have to change H you don't seem to understand this isn't going to change anything it's just a I've been getting stale lately I don't know I seem to be in a rut maybe it's middle age creeping up on me this job's the best thing it could happen to me you wouldn't want me to give it up would you no no of course [Music] not are you go on upstairs get ready for dinner and I'll mix your [Music] cocktail [Music] oh did you give Mrs Harold the shopping list yes I did is she gone she just left good hand me the phone will you please thank you I'll okay be an angel and get me my shoes will you sure Mr Craig's office hello Miss Stanley is my husband there oh well will you transfer me to the lab hello Hello darling I hope I'm not disturbing you I wondered if you'd like me to come into town today and have lunch with you my bag and gloves you'll be going away soon you know oh gosh honey I'm terribly sorry but I'm up to my neck here getting things ready to ship to Japan I can't possibly get out of here for hours no I understand but you will try to come home early tonight won't you these last few days I want to be with you as much as possible I want to be with you too do you you're sweet goodbye darling Claire after I've gone I want you to lock my door and see that no one comes in here yes Harry I think I've given Mrs Harold enough errands to keep her busy for a while if she should get back before I do you tell her I'm resting and don't want to be disturbed and don't tell anyone not anyone that I left the house this afternoon all right I don't know what I'd do without [Music] you [Music] yes Mrs Craig to see you Mr Fenwick Mrs Craig yes sir Oh by all means show her in my dear Mrs Craig I am glad to see you I do hope you'll forgive me for not calling for an appointment of course it makes for a very pleas pleas surprise won't you sit down thank you well I do hope you won't think me the typical inquisitive wife but I do want to know more about this new assignment of Walters I realize of course it's a wonderful opportunity but well Japan seems so far away I see well I don't think you need worry about him he'll be well taken care of most for the time our men are put up at a very good hotel in Tokyo the food is excellent I hear I didn't mean that exactly I'd like to know more about what kind of job it is for instance will Walder have many more responsibilities than he has now naturally this isn't just a trip to Japan you know it's quite a promotion yes he told me but will he be responsible for any of the company's money well he may have to okay a few payroll all vouchers and that sort of thing but I mean will he be handling any large sums well no no well that's all I really wanted to know thank you for being so kind but just a moment Mrs Craig oh please don't ask me to explain but you asked some rather strange questions don't you think you owe me an explanation yes I I suppose so if there's something I should know I'd be very grateful oh please understand Mr Fenwick wal is a fine man and no one knows that better than you but it's just that well sometimes he just seems to lose all sense of responsibility indeed I've always thought him most reliable so long as he's in his present job yes so long long as I'm nearby to look after him but if he were 6,000 Mi away with no guiding hand I just what is it you're afraid might happen you see Wald is very naive about the people he attaches himself to he likes to have fun but with the wrong crowd he's apt to go too far with the drinking crowd he drinks too much with a different crowd there have been different problems well I must say this is a surprise surprise I've always imagined Walter would be able to take care of himself yes you would think so wouldn't you I didn't know about all this before we were married when I came in the house Mrs Herold confided in me she told me that Walder picked up with some gambling acquaintances and that he'd lost almost all of his mother's estate and what's worse as executive of the estate he'd even lost Mrs Harold's tiny Legacy see good heavens of course since we've been married he's behaved very well he loves his work nobody knows better than you how loyal he is to the company yes I do indeed maybe I shouldn't be so worried maybe by now he could take care of himself perhaps but I wonder if either of us can afford to take that chance you're the best Jud of that Mr Fenwick well I've taken up enough of your time thank you so much oh just one more thing I've always tried to keep Walder from knowing how much I worry about him you won't tell him of my little visit will you you were kind enough to take me into your confidence you may also rely on my discretion you been very understanding Goodbye Mr Fenwick goodbye Mrs [Music] CR I don't get it he calls me in talks to me like a father then tells me the trip is off I think he was doing me the favor of my life then before I can find out what's up Ducks into a conference didn't you get anything out of him at all only that I'm too important a man to be that far away from the lab that's a lot of Malak of course it is if he needs me that much here why didn't he find it out yesterday the day before why now shorty two more here yes sir what burns me is he won't level with me you know for two cents I throw the job right in his face oh take it easy I'm just as disappointed about this as you are but let's not go into a tail spin huh but I don't get it either if there is something back at this it must have come up between noon and 3:00 how come but just before lunch he was dead set on your going in fact he was bragging about what a smart Dame his wife was to get the idea you know you just gave me one you can choke down those drinks by yourself I'll make a stay about it what's up Mrs Fenwick is a smart D smart enough to be able to find out why her idea misfired I'm going to pay her a visit if you need me oddly enough I'll be right [Music] here aren't you the little Frasier boy yes ma'am I came over to see if Mr Craig could fix my radio well I'm very sorry but Mr Craig isn't home yet I know Miss herl to me why is he so so late I have no idea but as soon as he arrives we're having dinner we've already had our dinner isn't that nice then why don't you be a good little boy and let us have ours okay besides your mother will worry if you stay away any longer well I'll come back after he's finished dinner I'm afraid that'll be too late and Danny tell your mother if the radio needs attention I'd suggest she call a qualified repair man oh no ma'am I i' rather have Mr Craig fix it Mrs Harold yes Mrs Craig did you ask the Fraser boy into the house little Danny well yes I was under the impression it was up to me to decide whom we wish to have as guests Danny's a very well behaved boy surely there's when will you get it through your head this is not your house I never supposed it was what I sometimes forget is that it's no longer Mr Craigs what did you say it makes no difference what he wants or who he wants in this house it's only your wishes that count are you trying to suggest that I haven't made Mr Craig a good home I'm sure you think you have Mrs Craig but my idea of a good home is one that has a little warmth and friendliness in it why when I walk through this house I have the feeling that these rooms have died and have been laid out I refuse to tolerate such insolence from a servant you won't have to Mrs Craig from now on I'm no longer in your employ you mean you're leaving yes I've had my fill for some time you see I am a servant but not in the way you mean it I've only stayed this long because of Mr Craig don't you think the least you could do is give me notice you didn't give Lotty much notice last Saturday night that was different what's different about it the only thing was that lty wanted to stay and I don't I'm only unhappy about leaving Mr Craig though I'm sure you'll be able to explain that oh come now Mrs Herold we mustn't do anything we'll be sorry for you won't be sorry Mrs Craig you'd have liked to have gotten rid of me long ago because I might be a reminder to Mr Craig of how much happier he was before he ever met you you've managed to pull the wool over his eyes so far but I wouldn't count on that lasting forever if I were you very well you can go the only reason I've kept you this long is because I knew at your age it would be difficult for you to find another job don't you worry about me Mrs Craig nobody belonging to me ever ended up in the Poor House CLA yes you and I will have to serve the dinner tonight do you mind of course not but I had to let Mrs Herold go she's become absolutely impossible you've dismissed her yes she's rude and inefficient but Harriet I know it'll be an awful shock to Walter he's so sentimental about her so don't mention it tonight I'll tell him about it tomorrow thank [Music] you [Music] [Music] Hello darling my but you're late tonight what kept you too many goodbye drinks with the boys could be well Claire and I fixed you a very nice dinner really where's Mrs Harold she isn't feeling well she has a terrible headache that's too bad will you try one of these no thank you what's the matter aren't they crispy enough for you no they're perfect like everything else you do I just don't want me cigarette no thanks I'll fix you a fresh drink to what do I owe this special attention I feel very wely tonight oh dear there's no soda I'll get you some ice too no just as it is please all right you look tired did you have a hard day that depends on what you'd call a hard day I had a conference with Mr Fenwick oh I suppose he wanted to clear everything up before you leave no he wanted to tell me I'm not going not going but why it seems I'm too great a brain to spend my time traveling oh I'm so sorry but it's very complimentary isn't it if you believe it don't you no and neither did Celia Celia Mrs Fenwick I went to see her since the trip was her idea I thought she might have the answer did she no so she called Mr fanwick what did he tell her exactly what he told me well then at first is a very persistent [Music] woman excuse me oh good evening sir I'll have the express company call for my trunk in the morning Mrs Craig Mrs Haron just a minute where are you going I'm leaving leaving I'm very sorry sir what's this all about I was going to call you tomorrow I'll let you hear from from me as soon as I get settled what is all this ask Mrs Craig I'll explain it later Walter I want Mrs Harold to tell me it wouldn't be any use sir that'll be my taxi Goodbye Mr Craig I'm sorry so she had a headache darling I tried to keep her from leaving I bent over backwards to please her because I knew how attached you were to her but she's resented me ever since I came into this house you don't know what I've had to take from her then tonight she just suddenly decided to quit why didn't you tell me she quit why did you say she had a headache I didn't want to upset you tonight tonight why not tonight well I knew you'd be disappointed about your trip and but you didn't know the trip was off when I first came home when I asked about Mrs Harold or did you well I Harriet excuse me dinner's ready oh thank you dear Walter do come in dinner will get cold and we've worked so hard I asked you a question harri how did you know the trip was off let's not argue at the table please sit down was it because you asked Mr fck to call it off because I what didn't you see Mr fck this afternoon I don't know what you're talking about I want an answer yes or no how can I even think when you're shouting at me so I know you're miserable about the trip but you needn't take it out on me I'm as unhappy about it as you are why I thought you wanted me to stay here well of course I'm happy you're going to be with me well which is it happy or unhappy I wish you wouldn't nag me I'm only trying to find out what your attitude is my only attitude is that I love you oh your attitude is that you love me of course she does Walder oh you know about her attitude do you also know about this afternoon what do you mean where were you this afternoon I was home and where was Harriet where she was you girls stick together don't you no wonder a man never knows what you're up to and why were at it what kind of a game are you playing with Wes Miller Wes that's right first you lead him on then all of a sudden you're not home when he calls but he never called yes he did he called you three times this week and left his number every time maybe Mrs Harold forgot to leave the messages Wes told me he talked to you Harriet dear I was only trying to save you embarrassment embarrassment about what but CLA decided she didn't want to see him anymore why not Claire I thought you were in love with him well I was but Harriet said he I don't care what Harriet said I'm telling you Wes is serious I know he loves you Harriet how could you what did you tell her why would you want to break it up between them I didn't why should I do you think I care what Claire does well you should she's part of your family W what's come over you I'd have gotten rid of CLA in a minute if I'd known you resented her being I never said I resented her I only let her stay here because she's a relative and had no place else to go go I didn't realize she was so neurotic she must have dreamed up something about that boy in her own mind because heaven knows I begged her to encourage him haret you're lying you lied to Claire you lied about Mrs Harold you lied with your phone me today to find out if the coast was clear you've been drinking and I refuse to talk to you while you're in this condition why not you put up a lot worse than that since you've been married to me isn't that what you told Fenwick I don't know what you mean oh you're a brave little woman to live with the husband like me old Boozer Craig will can't hold his liquor light fingered Craig will can't be trusted near the cash boox stinker Craig will gamble away a Widow's savings I didn't say anything of the kind and I don't believe Mr Fenwick told you that Mrs Fenwick told me I wouldn't put it Pastor she distort everything deliberately how could you do it Harriet were you out of your mind to go to my employer of all people a man whose good opinion can affect my whole life and your life Walter you haven't given me one chance to explain I did go to see Mr Fenwick but only to make sure you'd have decent food a decent place to live and not be overworked my thanks for that is that you take other people's word against mine and turn on me like this not a tear in sight how many ways can you lie Harriet you lie when you cry you lie when you smile you lie when you talk do you also lie when stop it all right you want the truth you can have it I did ask Mr Fenwick to keep you here and he understood perfectly I explained to him how loyal you were to the company but I also had to tell him how much you need me how much I need you Walter I've done everything I could to spare your feelings look at yourself honestly what were you before I married you I was a man as I remember it with a pretty good life a good job good friends and a good home you were completely disorganized and irresponsible and you know it why you've told me a thousand times how much I've done for you sure you have so does everyone wife does that make you my nursaid since when have I been such a I couldn't struggle along without you where do you get the G to think you're so Superior oh stop yelling what are you complaining about you've had your share of the bargain bargain I never thought of our marriage as a bargain every marriage is you wanted a wife to run your house and make you comfortable well haven't I done that have I ever neglected you I've kept myself attractive and seen to it that you were never bored whatever you wanted no matter how foolish sure inconvenient it was for me I've always seen to it that you were satisfied what more did you want I've wanted you to be honest with me to trust me I've wanted you to love me well that goes without saying does [Music] it hi Mr Craig hello Danny can you come over now huh the radio is on the blank will you fix it well how about tomorrow then gee I'm missing all my programs I was waiting

to think about clire where are you going I'm leaving Harriet I can't stay here any longer but why I heard what you said to Walter oh darling I didn't mean it I only said that to appease him did you know me better than that why did you lie to me Harry I would have done anything for you I was so grateful but for you deliberately to to ruin my chance for a life of my own and to care so little what happens to me I warn you about West for your own good you can see how difficult marriage is your kind of marriage yes but there must be another kind but you can't go now walder's causing enough trouble you mustn't be angry over little misunderstanding I'm not angry Harriet I just don't want to stay here any longer you see I know you now and I don't like you all right you go but don't come crawling back to me when you find out you can't take care of yourself alone I hope I won't be alone now that I know the truth about whis goodbye Harriet here Rocky I'll hold the Rope race myself

crunch will bring you another stirring chapter in the daring Adventures of Rocky dreo gee Mr Craig I wouldn't want to take the chance like that would you I guess not Danny wasn't it neat mom yes it

night Danny Danny's very fond of you he's a nice boy he's a great comfort to me yes I can see that shouldn't you be getting back we've kept you so long Mrs Craig will be expecting you yes she is um Mrs Fraser may I ask you a question of course would you say I'm a man of average intelligence I would say so why I don't know some things I can't figure out well oh sorry that's all right it shouldn't be in the middle of the floor anyway our house is such a mess and yours is always so tidy that's one thing you can say for the Craig house it's always tidy yeah good night good night Mr Craig and thank you again [Music] [Music] is that you Walter [Music] yes are you coming upstairs yes no I think you better come down here I'm very tired here and I'm going to bed har I want to talk to you Walder I'm completely exhausted if you want to talk to me I'll be upstairs hared I said come down [Music] here what was that nothing very much what do you mean nothing very much s as though the whole house fell down maybe it did my vas what happened how did it fall it didn't fall I broke it you what I broke it you must be insane why would you deliberately destroy a beautiful thing like this I didn't like it I've been putting up with a lot of things around here I don't like and I'm through with it through that's right I don't like my share of the bargain Walder I know you're upset because I went to Mr Fenwick and I can't blame you what I did was wrong terribly wrong but I was so panicky I had to stop you somehow I realized now I should have told you the truth I should have come to you the day Dr Barn sent for me Dr Barnes he is for months now I've been going to him you know how desperately I've always wanted a child I've never given up hope well two weeks ago he said there was a very good chance what's Dr Barn's number well he would wouldn't be in his office this time of night he must have a home phone I wouldn't know it I've never called him there I imagine information will give it to me don't you dare check up on me you didn't see any doctor did you nobody told you you could have a child nobody had to tell me you mean you can yes I can and you could have all along so you lied to me from the beginning about something you knew meant more to me than anything in this world oh haret I came back tonight to tell you that from now on I was going to run things in this house and if you were willing to accept that we might make a go of our marriage because in spite of everything I still loved you this do it I know now you've never led me tonight you show me just how selfish and dishonest you really are no woman dares to be honest she has to think of herself who else is going to protect her does she need protection from a man who loves you you bet she does I wouldn't trust the love of any man after the things I've seen I found out all about what you men call love the day my father left us he always pretended to love my mother and I worshiped him and one day after school I went to his office I found him with a woman a cheap vulgar blonde what a sight they were and I saw him for what he really was a fat old fool with liquor on his breath he said he was ashamed and tried to tell me it had nothing to do with his love for us well maybe he could fool my mother but he couldn't fool me I told him I never wanted to see him again I hated him and I'd always hate him that night he didn't come home he never came home I watched my mother the streets looking for a job and at 14 I had to quit school and go to work first in a factory then in a laundry we almost starved so don't talk to me about protection don't try to tell me anything about love I think you're telling me the truth the first time I believe what you say about your father and I feel sorry for you I think I understand you now you hated your father and because of him you hate me you hate and distress everybody you're at war with the whole world you'd never feel safe with anybody until you'd crush them but you're not going to do that to me I'm going to take that trip as scheduled when I come back it won't be to this house but you can't just walk out on me I'm your wife you have a responsibility don't worry I'll see that you're provided for you can keep the house you'll come back you'll find out you won't be able to forget me so easily I didn't say I could forget you but I won't be back w [Music] good [Music] evening I just saw Mr Craig Drive away he left his pipe at our house and I thought thank you Mrs Craig my husband and I used to have little misunderstandings too and sometimes he'd slam out of the house I remember how I used to hate being alone then if there's anything I can do Mr Craig has gone to get a newspaper Mrs Frasier he'll be back in a few minutes I see well good night Mrs [Music] Craig [Music] the
