and the Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.
And now for the signal oil company, the Whistler's strange story. Quiet Sunday. This was going to be a quiet Sunday for Henry Parker. Peaceful, calm, restful, away from the work and teagem of the office.
Just the kind of Sunday Henry always looked forward to during the other hectic days of the week. And more than that, it was a special Sunday. For Henry's wife, Ruth, was vacationing at their large at Lake Arrowhead and wouldn't be home.
That was the best part. And it was nice, too, to remember that tonight he had a date with Daphne. Daphne was tall and lovely. And Daphne seemed to understand that Henry liked to spend a nice quiet evening.
He was contemplating all this when the doorbell rang. Burf failed. The minute I get settled with a Sunday paper, that bird Adams wants to borrow the lawn more again. What? Daphne. Surprised? Daphne, what in the world are you doing here?
