Alibi

Wait a minute. Have you heard the strange tales of the Whistler? The Whistler. I've come to the end of my rope. I've tried my best for 20 years to please Agatha. I gave up my painting and tried business after business and failed in every venture.

Now I... I can't go on any longer. I'm through. Another Sunday night and again CBS presents The Whistler. By the Whistler know many things, or I walk by night. Many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows.

And so I tell you tonight the amazing story of the Alibi. Poor Henry Farrrington paces the library floor, through his mind from the events of the past twenty years, from the day when he married the wealthy young widow Agatha Durand.

Henry hadn't the dollar of his own then, nothing but charm. He still hasn't the dollar of his own, and now very little charm. Henry was a struggling artist, but Agatha was a businesswoman and was determined to make Henry a business man.

And Henry had tried, tried, hard. Agatha backed him in venture after venture, bossing him, completely dominating his every moment. every moment, but Henry experienced nothing but failure, and gradually Agatha's love turned and discussed. And now, twenty years later, his artistic talent longs in Spanish, he realizes what a wreck Agatha has made of him.

What are you doing in here, Henry? Morning, Agatha. I said, what are you doing? Why, I'm just thinking. That's what I thought. What are you doing with the lights on and the daytime? It's cloudy this morning.

Bit dull in here. Don't need lights to think. Turn them out. Yes, Agatha. Are you going to do nothing but move around again today? What do you want me to do? You know what day this is?
