What happens
Leonard Miles, a painter whose studio is in a quiet neighborhood, is questioned by a police lieutenant about a woman named Anne Hamilton. Leonard recalls how she first came to his exhibition and then arranged to sit for a portrait in his studio. His wife Mary, who is an invalid, is at home, and Anne presses him about their future. The Whistler series is heard on the Signal Oil program, and this episode first aired on September 22, 1948. William Conrad and Loretta Philbrandt were featured in this story.

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.
