What happens
Patsy Hopkins, a blind-seeming young woman living in the old Hopkins house, watches her cousin Lorna Hopkins prepare to marry Gregory. Patsy declares her love for Gregory, who rejects her, and her headaches and sudden blindness draw the household's attention. Gregory, Lorna and Freiline, the old German housekeeper, make plans around Patsy's condition while tensions grow between them. The Whistler is broadcast on CBS in the series' usual anthology format, and this episode first aired on June 4, 1945.

Characters: Lorna Hopkins, Patsy Hopkins, Gregory, Freiline
Listen for: Pay attention to the tense exchanges between Patsy and Gregory and to how each character's blindness to the others' true nature shapes the events.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
