What happens
Uncle Fletcher arrives at the Cook household to stay a few days while Joe Vepers paints and fixes up his bedroom. He tells the family to carry on with their plans as if he were not there, and he plans to take his meals with the neighbors. Victor and Sadie make arrangements for the evening, including a card game and a theater visit, and they hand off the house while they are out. The story is told through the family's everyday talk and their small preparations. Bernardine Flynn and Bill Idelson are the lead actors of this Vic and Sade episode, first aired on February 19, 1942.

Listen for: Uncle Fletcher's announcement that he is staying a few days while his bedroom is painted, and the family's plans for the evening.
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.
