Tonight we're going to drop in on Henry Norton, a man who saw death in every corner. I call the story, Death is my caller. My story begins late one afternoon in the luxurious office of Henry Norton, a stockbroker.

Norton, a tall, dapper man in his 40s, is in the midst of signing some letters. when he's called on the office communicator by his secretary. Excuse me, Mr. Norton. Yes, Miss Barry. There's a Mr. Blair to see you.

Mr. Who? Charles Blair. He says you know him very well. Charlie Blair? Tell him I'm not in. I'm out of town. Tell him anything. I don't want to see him. I don't ever want to see him.

He says he knows you're here and sists. I'm talking to you. Get him out of the office. Get some of the boys to help me if you won't leave. Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Norton. He forced his way in. I'm sorry. I couldn't stop him.

That's quite all right, Miss Perry. I'll see him. Hello, Henry. I thought you'd be delighted to see me. We haven't seen each other for seven long years. That wasn't nice not to have a chat with your ex-partner, was it?
