Left in tea and left in soup present in earth's sanctum mystery. Good evening, friends of the inner sanctum. This is your host at the squeaking door again. Just slither in and let me dispel your weariness with a bit of weariness.
Oh, no, no, no, no, please. Don't sit in that chair. I'm saving it for rigor mortis de salient. Oh, dear. I see this is going to be one of those nights when my favorite character gets killed.
Yes, Mary. But don't scream blow-matter because this is a corpse of a different color. Well, if it's going to be that kind of a story, I'd better tell folks about something cheerful first. Yes, I mean lipton tea.
Lipton is such a friendly, welcome drink. And that's because of its brisk flavor. Now that word brisk is important. It means that Lipton tea always tastes fresh and full-bodied, tangy and vigorous. It's never flat or wishy-washy.
That's the reason why Lipton seems to make good food taste better, and why Lipton tea is the perfect beverage to serve on your entertaining friends. So even if you are not a regular tea drinker, you should try Lipton's.
That brisk flavor makes all the difference in the world. And now let's leave the world temporarily, of course. The night story is called The Lonely Sleep. It's an original radio play by Christopher Mayo, who scribbled it during a nightmare.
And our star is Carl Swenson, who plays the role of Archie Gold. Murdered is a specter which nudges all of us anywhere. Most of us will never murder, but can any of us say we never will?
Certainly Archie Gold, 30-ish. and my old man had never thought he would murder. Archie was the window display man for Greg's department store. At night the store is a fantastic nightmare of eerie shadows, covered showcases, cavernous depths and dank stale odors, with only his own hollow footsteps for sound, because windows are dressed at night.
