Bury Me Not

Mystery House. Mystery House. That strange publishing firm owned by Dan and Barbara Glenn, where each new novel is acted out by the Mystery House staff before this accepted for publication.

Mystery House. The title of the story we're trying out for Mystery House Night, Barbie. It intrigues me. Bury me not. That's not the only thing that will intrigue you. The whole story is full of surprises.

Oh, not the whole story, Mrs. Glenn. What do you mean, Tom? Well, right about now, there's always an important message for our listeners. And here it is. Listen. Okay, places everybody. Set the scene for the night story. Will you, Tom?

Very mean not. Tonight's story opens in the office of police lieutenant Kane. Vera Blithe is being questioned about the mysterious death of her husband. Well, I'm sorry, Mrs. Blithe. I don't like this any more than you do.

But I have to have all the facts about your husband's death. But Mr. Kane, I've told you. I don't know anything about his test. Oh, come now, Mrs. Blad, you admitted you and your husband have been quarreling.

Of course we quarreled. Every married couple quarreled. But Mrs. Blad, you went too far, didn't you? Your temper got the best of you. And when your husband walked out, when he walked out, you followed him to his hotel room.

No, no, I didn't. You brought a gun with you, not intending to use it, but you lost your temper. He goed again. No, no, no, I didn't. I did. I did. Mrs. Blad, look. The gun has your fingerprints all over it.

Nobody else's. It was lying on the floor next to your husband's body. And you were found rushing down the hotel stairs within three minutes of the time the shots were heard. But I didn't do it.
