The Long Night

Radio 59 WROW, W. First on the dial. And now, another tale well calculated to keep you in... ...a Spence. The Long Night by Walter Black. Be the f***. That you've earned? And why'd you shut the radio off?

You can stand all that catter-walens, beyond me. Nobody's asking you to listen. That's why I shut it off. Supper ready in a minute. You better wash up Anybody drop around today. Oh sure hundreds of people. I asked you better Lou anybody drop around Just oh mr. Collins pick up the eggs. I saw him nobody else nobody else

Somebody called Heard the phone round three o'clock. Mm. Jesse Frolic. She and Gus might drop over tonight. Hand me the soap. Yeah Where'd you go in the car? I went to town and bought four yards of dress material out of my egg money.

When I saw the spring coat and Pendleton's window burn honey and honest it's beautiful. Hand me the towel. It's marked down to $30 and well I got seven from my egg money still left. Burn honey, could you lend me 23?

How many times do I have to tell you we got no money to throw away? Oh I'll pay you back. That's not the point. You can use that $7 for a better thing. Don't you care how I look?

You look fine to me, just like you are. Besides which, you already got more clothes than any other farmer's wife around. Yeah, but most of them, their husband's in debt to everybody. You don't have to worry like they do, Vern, you got money.

Well, if I have, I got it by not throwing it away. Yeah, just you'll be patient, Betty Lou. You'll all be yours someday. But it's only 20 minutes. I don't want to hear any more about it.
