Beckoning Fair One

Good evening. I'm Mr. Barrett, one of the characters in the MOLA Mystery Theater, which follows right away. I just want to remind you that although next winter seems very far away, right now is the time to do something about next winter's heating problem.

The government says that fuel of all types is going to be scarce, so if you want to keep warm, you should go to your dealer now and get whatever kind and quantity fuel he can let you have.

Or say you should check up on all your heating equipment and make sure that you're not wasting fuel. And lastly, protect your home against loss of heat by installing insulation and weather stripping. Those are the ways in which you can protect your home against next winter's cold.

And now the Mole Mistre Theater, presented by MOLLE. Mole, the brushless shaving cream that guards your tender skin with its special protective veil. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Jeffrey Barnes welcoming you to the program that presents the best in mystery and detective fiction.

Tonight we bring you an unusual tale of the supernatural by Oliver Onions entitled The Becoming Fair One. It is a gripping study in human terror, the eerie story of a strange rebellion, and the terrible consequences of it followed.

So here it is. The beckoning fair one. My name is Paul Oloron. I'll tell it from the beginning, just the way it happened. I don't ask you to believe it. Just listen. I was working on my new novel, Romelie, and I decided to move.

I looked over a couple of places and finally discovered one I liked. Of course, it's not a new house, Mr. Oloron, but we'll do the place over for you. Any color you like? They're certainly quite looking rooms, aren't they?
