Transcript

urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. And now to our transcribed drama where there's a will starring Vincent Price as Edward. See now the coffee and the brandy, the Senator's favorite, put them down by the easy chair next to the fireplace so the old windbag will get sleepy faster. And now where is that list of numbers?

Yes, next we pull back the tapestry and so to work. Forty-four to the right, sixteen to the left. Now ten more possibilities starting with forty-nine. I was just... you! Did I scare you? If you're trying to kill me, what do you think I was doing?

It looked like you were trying to open the safe. Don't be insane. I just wanted to make sure it was locked. If everything is not in order, when Senator Winchester opens his safe tonight to read the will, who will hear about it?

I don't know. Who? I'll hear about it, my girl, as head of the staff, this safe along with everything else in Mr. Justin's household is my responsibility. Mr. Justin, may he rest in peace? Yes, I just wanted to be sure the door hadn't slipped open or something. We can't be too careful while that emerald is still in there.

I'll be glad to see it out of the house after tonight. So will I. Now put the cream and sugar on that tray and go on about your business. You think it'll go to his nephew Clarence?

Well, sees the legal heir. Well, what are you gawking at? Mr. Justin's portrait over the fireplace ain't it lifelike? Disturbingly. Go on now. When the senator comes in to take his coffee, I don't want him to find you here.
