45-xx-xx ep03 Death Spins a Web

The Seal of Book! Once again, the Keeper of the Book is ready to open the ponderous volume in which has recorded all the secrets and mysteries of mankind through the ages. All the strange and mystifying stories of the past, the present, and the future. Keeper of the Book, what tale will you tell us this time?

What tales shall I tell you? I have here tales of every kind, tales of murder, of madness, of dark deeds and events, strange beyond all belief. Let me see. Yes, yes, here's a tale for you, a strange tale of an old woman, and of three heirs, greedy for her millions. A tale I call, Death Spins a Web. And here is a tale as it is written

in the sealed book. In a great mansion far from the city, Mrs. Oliver Drake lies dying. Her door opens and her attorney Henry Arnold enters. Good morning Mrs. Drake. How do you feel today? Henry, two days ago, Dr. Smith told me I had two months to live.

Well, that's how I feel, like somebody who has two months to live. You take it well, Mrs. Drake. Tell me, have those three worthless grandchildren gotten here yet? Uh, Blanche and Vivian have. They're outside in the hall now.

But you want to see them? I don't want to see them, no. But I will. We have things to talk over. Of course. I'll send them in. Your grandmother will see you now. Oh, thank you.

Oh, Granny Darling, it's so nice to see you again. Why, you don't look sick at all. Mm-mm. That might must be quite a disappointment to you, Vivian. Dear Granny, it's so good to see you again. How are you, darling?
