Speaker 12: Yeah, father, you go wrapped up in a rose bush there.
Speaker 9: Alice is a good example of why I should take Henry.
Speaker 2: On a trip.
Speaker 11: He needs to get away from the house.
Speaker 7: What's wrong with the house?
Speaker 11: Nothing?
Speaker 9: Nothing, It's just if Henry needs to work off a
little of that energy out.
Speaker 11: In the fresh air.
Speaker 12: Here.
Speaker 7: He was just out in the yard.
Speaker 2: That isn't the same thing, by Henry?
Speaker 3: Did that ladder cost a great deal?
Speaker 11: Henray?

something in Mary's very well.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, mother, I'd like to go with.

Speaker 9: Oh, Henry, how would you like to get away from
all this?
Speaker 5: You're going to send me away just because I broke
the ladder?
Speaker 11: How would you like to go on a camping trip?
Speaker 3: Hello, I'll go with you in octobers.
Speaker 9: Why the prediction is warm and sunny for the next
few days, perhaps the last good ones we'll have.
Speaker 5: How abouties go camping, just the two of us.
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, we'll start this afternoon, sleep right out in
the woods, catch.
Speaker 11: Our own fish, cook our own grub.
Speaker 3: Every thing is Father, that's trouble. I have to go
to the movies.
Speaker 5: Tonight, to the movies, Yes, sir, a bunch of a
plan to go this evening.
Speaker 11: Wouldn't you rather get out and eat your own fish?
Speaker 3: But she whiz, Father, they're counting on me to sit
with them.
Speaker 5: Couldn't we go some other time?
Speaker 9: Well, not as well as today, not only later this year.
Speaker 11: What's more, Homer Brown and his father may go.
Speaker 5: With us, Homer and mister Brown.
Speaker 11: That throws a different light on him.
Speaker 5: But Homer seen the picture and it doesn't matter to him.
Speaker 11: I see very well.
Speaker 5: Couldn't we go tomorrow?
Speaker 12: Father?
Speaker 11: No, Henry, if you don't care any more about it
than that, then you needn't even think of going. I'm
in Homer, I am.
Speaker 13: Him, I know, Hi, Henry, Hello, Homer, mister Alrich. My
father wanted me to come over and tell you. He
doesn't know why he didn't think.
Speaker 3: Of it before.
Speaker 8: But we can't possibly go on that camping trip.
Speaker 11: Why not?
Speaker 13: We have to go to a wedding this afternoon and
a party afterwards.
Speaker 11: That's quite all right, Homer. I'm not sure I wanted
to go camping anyway.
Speaker 3: Weren't you going at all?
Speaker 11: Father? Helone? Well, look she was, I'll go with you, no,
thank you, Henny, sad when you come upstairs me, what's
the trouble?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 6: Mary's get him the key in her door and you
can't get it.
Speaker 11: Und I'll be right there, Father.
Speaker 7: Wouldn't you like to join us at the movies at
my expense?
Speaker 11: Thank you?
Speaker 5: And I would not, Henry?
Speaker 8: What did your mother say? Was the matter with Mary?
Speaker 12: Boy?
Speaker 3: Do you know what she did to me? Homer? Just
to be humorous? No, what she stole my diary?
Speaker 8: Your diary, Henry, way a five year.
Speaker 5: Diary, but you just started with this year, and Mary
has a sure and it's got into what I think
of everybody I know, including me.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 6: Well, come on, huff, you look for it, Henry.
Speaker 3: May I have a talk with you with I mother?
Speaker 5: Hello, missus Alrich?
Speaker 10: Hello Homer, would you mind stepping into the hallway for
a minute.
Speaker 13: What do you want me to do out there? Missus Ulrich,
just wait till I'm through talking.
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 8: Oh oh, I get it. Well, I'm sure whatever it is,
Henry didn't mate it.
Speaker 3: Mother. Mary started the whole thing by taking my diary.
Speaker 7: That isn't what I want to talk about here. Your
father feels rather bad day. Father does that because you'd
rather not go camping.
Speaker 3: Oh, but mother, I told him I'd like to go.
Speaker 7: He said, you insisted on going to the movies.
Speaker 5: Ye. I don't know where we ever got that impression.
I'll admit I did.
Speaker 9: Mention the movies because it's a picture.
Speaker 5: I feel it's my duty to see. I didn't refuse
to go camping.
Speaker 10: Well, you see, dear, your father does enjoy doing things
with you, and I'm afraid this time he was just
a little hurt.
Speaker 5: Oh, she I didn't realize he was that sensitive.
Speaker 3: Maybe I ought to take him camping.
Speaker 8: Would you like to sure?
Speaker 3: Do him a lot of good.
Speaker 5: He needs to get away from the house for a while.
The house sure out in the fresh air and different surroundings.
Speaker 3: Oh, she was, Homer, what's the matter.
Speaker 6: Loving Henry?
Speaker 10: This table drawer came out too far, that's all, Homer.
Speaker 6: Why are you going through the whole table drawer looking.
Speaker 7: For something of Henry's mother?
Speaker 6: Mother wants to know whether we have any eye a dime.
Speaker 7: That happened.
Speaker 6: He hit his finger opening my door, and he's feeling
very sorry for himself.
Speaker 3: Mother, Yes, I'm not sure.
Speaker 5: Speaking to Mary, will you please tell her I'll go
up and get the iodine for father.
Speaker 6: Mother, I think Henry's entirely too sensitive.
Speaker 7: Mary, dear, do you know where Henry's diary is?
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 14: Exactly what you mean by that, Mother, I mean did
you hide it?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 7: Yes, but well yes, but well yes.
Speaker 6: But that's what puzzles me. Where did you put it
in the clothes happer?
Speaker 7: Did you put it in the clothes happer? Do you
put it in the clothes happer? And when I went
back together it it was.
Speaker 10: Gone, Mary Aldry, I don't really have even the slightest
ideas to where it is.
Speaker 6: For all I know, it may have gone to the laundry.
Speaker 7: Now, Mary, I don't think that was very nice.
Speaker 8: Mother.
Speaker 6: There wasn't one word in it. Be laundry could take
offense at He says, all.
Speaker 8: Right, is Henry still upstairs? Homer?
Speaker 7: What are you doing in there?
Speaker 12: Well?
Speaker 8: Did you know one of the drawers in your desk
is locked?
Speaker 7: Homer?
Speaker 6: Please leave my desk alone.
Speaker 11: Mary, I want you to do something for me.
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 11: Father? Do you see this brown envelope?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Well, before I forget, when a mister Warren calls for it,
will you please be sure that he gets it?
Speaker 8: Certainly?
Speaker 7: Father, Sam, are you and Henry really going, Kathy.
Speaker 9: Yes, Alice, we had a little talk upstairs and I
agreed to take him.
Speaker 11: I'm married. Did I write mister Warren's name on the envelope?
Speaker 14: Oh, my goodness, Father, I can certainly remember mister Warren,
can't I?
Speaker 9: Well, don't lose it's it's extremely important.
Speaker 12: Mother.
Speaker 5: Does father tell you I agreed to take him? Yes,
Henry hurry watching that envelope?
Speaker 6: God, don't you wish you knew?
Speaker 3: Can't you tell me?
Speaker 6: It's nothing? Very pride, Sam.
Speaker 10: I'll go in the kitchen and boil a couple dozen
eggs for you and Henry.
Speaker 7: To take away you.
Speaker 3: She mother, you don't need to boil an egg.
Speaker 11: No, Alice, we'll cook our own food.
Speaker 3: What food?
Speaker 11: The fish we catch? All we want is a little
flour so we can make biscuits and some baker.
Speaker 5: What Omer you did?
Speaker 8: What does this mean?
Speaker 13: It says Sam dropped in tonight and I found him
terribly nice but very sensitive.
Speaker 2: Food's very census in Homer, Where did you get that?
Speaker 8: Well? You know that block drawer in your desk.
Speaker 7: And may I have it?
Speaker 12: Please?
Speaker 7: You can be mine?
Speaker 11: When did you write that?
Speaker 10: Never mind, we can't read it. We certainly may not.
I'm going to take it out and burn it.
Speaker 11: But come out, Henry.
Speaker 9: Let's go up and get into our old close.
Speaker 3: Sure, father, it's along, Homer.
Speaker 8: You're leaving me, Henry.
Speaker 3: Don't you want to go home?
Speaker 8: Well? I was gonna look for your diary somewhere.
Speaker 5: Wait a second, Homer, I just had a wonderful idea
before I will it kill Mary? Will She's got a
brown envelope, Homer, A brown envelope, she says, it's very
private before I go camping. I'm gonna get it and
hide it.
Speaker 8: You are sure?
Speaker 3: Sure? The only thing is Homer. You're not afraid of.
Speaker 8: Mary, are you?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: But maybe I really are?
Speaker 13: After all, Henry, you aren't gonna open the envelope, are you?
Speaker 8: She is, No, You're just gonna.
Speaker 5: Hide it for a few days to get even.
Speaker 13: I think it's a great idea, sure, And boy.
Speaker 5: Will I teach her a lesson about taking things that
don't belong to her?
Speaker 3: Father?
Speaker 11: Yes, Henry, I don't mean to be critical.
Speaker 5: But don't you think the fish would bite better if
we didn't whistle?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 12: Good IDEA nice tangy day, isn't it.
Speaker 11: Just look at those leaves, brown red?
Speaker 5: I think I'll cast out here in this other direction.
It don't seem to be biting very well.
Speaker 2: Do you have them time? They just getting used to us.
Speaker 3: Boy, I have to laugh every time I think of it.
Speaker 2: Never time you think of what the way I got
even with Mary?
Speaker 5: See?
Speaker 3: Did I hide something of hers?
Speaker 11: I have never was so you came to visit us?
Speaker 2: He lost his bag offish.
Speaker 5: I think I gotta bite good if we just keep quiet, oping.
Speaker 9: How you hook a little?
Speaker 5: That's what I'm doing. Who whiz that you kicked our
knapsack into the water.
Speaker 11: I can get it.
Speaker 3: Be quiet, though.
Speaker 2: All I have to do is to take.
Speaker 9: My shoes and socks off and wad it right out
to where them pack a snag.
Speaker 5: You better hurry, father, The current is taking it away.
Speaker 11: Here I go.
Speaker 12: I'll get it all right.
Speaker 11: Be careful, father, turn out deeper than I thought.
Speaker 3: You want to throw me your coat?
Speaker 12: Father?
Speaker 11: No, I just have to take one more statue?
Speaker 7: It was father, Father?
Speaker 13: Where are you?
Speaker 2: Father?
Speaker 6: Marry?
Speaker 7: Don't you have the slightest idea as to where you
put it?
Speaker 14: I'm almost positive that I put it here on this
hall table, and it was a brown invalids.
Speaker 6: About this stick is that mister Warren waiting in the
living room.
Speaker 7: And no, there it's Will Brown, his uncle.
Speaker 6: I'm asking something, Oh, mister Brown, Yes, Mary, Does your
mister Vaughan really need that envelope today?
Speaker 12: He sure does. It was down at your father's office
this morning and got a little excited or something and
walked off and left it.
Speaker 6: I see, just how valuable is it?
Speaker 12: Well, it wouldn't be valuable to anybody else, but it
certainly means a lot to my nephew, it does. He
had his marriage license inate.
Speaker 7: Oh is that all?
Speaker 12: That's all? He's planning to be married.
Speaker 7: At five o'clock today.
Speaker 12: I hope you don't think i'd be wearing a cutaway
like this and day ahead of time. Yes, sir, My
nephews whole futures in that envelope. O.
Speaker 6: Look, mister Brown, would you mind sitting down just a
minute while my mother and I go through my room
once more?
Speaker 12: Well, I won't sit down exactly. I don't want to
ruin this coat. I'll just sort of lean against the wall.
But another stick on the fire, Hendry.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 11: Father. Do I smell something burning?
Speaker 5: It's just a fire, I think, boy, these fish.
Speaker 3: Your are tasty, aren't they?

Speaker 2: Yes, take this knife and cut a piece of that cake.
Speaker 9: Oh gee, whizz, cut from the end that didn't go
in the lake, you know, soun. As soon as we're
to eat it, I think we'd better move on to
a place where there aren't so many mosquitoes.
Speaker 5: Father, Maybe you did smell something burning?
Speaker 12: What is it?
Speaker 8: She whiz? I didn't know.
Speaker 3: You put your shoes right next to this fire.
Speaker 7: You go through that pile of papers, dear and I'll
go through this one.
Speaker 6: I've been through all of them twice.
Speaker 12: Mother, I just went through the trash pile, and there's
no sign of any license there.
Speaker 10: Will Brown, you haven't been going through the trash pile
in that cutaway?
Speaker 11: Have you?
Speaker 12: I used a long rake?
Speaker 8: Did I just hear the phone?
Speaker 12: If you did, don't answer it. They've been heckling us
for two hours. When we find the envelope, my nephew
can get married, and not until then.
Speaker 7: My goodness, Look at this what mother? I just found
the Christmas card we never open? I wonder car missus
Standish has been so cool.
Speaker 8: To me all year.

as long as she lives.

Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 8: When I left? They just finished the wedding cake. Here
I brought your peace.
Speaker 12: Not now, just help us look for that license?

Speaker 13: It's in a brown envelope, A brown envelope, Yes, dear,
a brown envelope about.
Speaker 12: This large what's the matter with you, Homer?
Speaker 8: Have you seen it the marriage license?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 5: No, sir, only you know what I think.
Speaker 8: I think we ought to get in the car and find.
Speaker 12: Mister Alrich Sam Oldrich.
Speaker 8: He's with Henry. I'm positive that'd be the safest thing
to do.
Speaker 3: Where is it they're camping out?
Speaker 7: Treat that up near Macaucolly's Rocks.
Speaker 12: Macargo's Rock's way up there.
Speaker 13: We could find him in less than two hours, and
I have a feeling that's the only thing to do.

with a reception. We'll get the bride and groom married later.

Speaker 11: Where all this blanket?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 3: You think we'll like this place. But in the last
two places we unpacked in.
Speaker 9: There's no mosquito anywhere near here. Now lie out and
get comfortable.
Speaker 5: See, I wish our flashlight hadn't dropped in the water.
Speaker 2: You don't need a flashlight, father, Have you any idea
where we are?
Speaker 11: I know exactly where we are. We're about a mile
and a half from the main line of the.
Speaker 2: Y and R Railroad.
Speaker 11: I lie down and go to sleep.
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 11: This is the life a son. You think it'll rain,
There isn't a chance. She What was that.
Speaker 9: Just a thunderstorm way over on the other side of
the valley.
Speaker 11: I close your eyes and go to sleep.
Speaker 5: Yes, father, I wonder why the stars aren't out.
Speaker 11: Give them time. They'll come out too bad. Will Brown
and Homer couldn't have come along with us?
Speaker 7: Who's what did you say?
Speaker 9: It was mister Warren, the young businessman who just moved
to town. I expect to do a lot of business
with him. What's that just some animal? Why don't you
just relax, Henry and enjoy nature.
Speaker 3: Sounded gonna be like a train whistle?
Speaker 11: Well it might have been a train over on the
Wye arm Oh.
Speaker 5: Listen, father, don't you think we gotta go some other place.
Speaker 9: Now, Henry, there's no sense in trying to go anyplace else.
Speaker 11: We'll be just as comfortable here as if we were home.
Speaker 12: You're the.
Speaker 11: Father.
Speaker 3: Is it raining where you are?
Speaker 11: Just a little? You better put your blanket over your head?
Speaker 3: For a train whistle sounds closer?
Speaker 9: Well, of course it sounds closer. It's gonna pass within
a mile and a half of it, Father, Father.
Speaker 3: The headlights plenty right at us.
Speaker 11: What's that?
Speaker 4: You feel?
Speaker 3: Only ties under you?
Speaker 13: Do?
Speaker 11: If we get way over here?
Speaker 12: Ray?
Speaker 6: Ray?
Speaker 12: Same? Oh it?
Speaker 8: Do you hear anything?
Speaker 9: Father?
Speaker 12: Oh? Sam?
Speaker 8: Maybe they want a.
Speaker 12: Little father into the woods, Homan. They couldn't have gone.
Speaker 8: What's the matter of father?
Speaker 3: Nothing?
Speaker 12: I just fell down again. I never thought when i'd
put this cutaway on I'd be wearing it out hiking.
Speaker 8: Do you watch your piece of wedding cake?
Speaker 11: Now?
Speaker 12: I do not? All I want is that license here? Homer, China?
Light over this way? What is it? A camp's height?
Somebody cooked their supper here where right there? See sighting?
Can the burnt shoe? Probably a couple of tramps come
on home?
Speaker 8: Is is that rain? I feel?
Speaker 11: Justin leaves? Rustling.
Speaker 8: Was that leads too? Oh?
Speaker 4: Sam?
Speaker 11: Sam?
Speaker 9: Father?
Speaker 3: Are you sure the front door was locked? I am.
Let's try the back door. That's why I'm doing. Don't
you think we ought to call mother?
Speaker 7: No, real softly, there's no use disturbing your mother.
Speaker 11: It's here in midnight.
Speaker 3: Bless you, Thank you, brother.
Speaker 5: Why can't we sleep over at the Browns we drove by.
The lights were still on.
Speaker 9: The guests are still there too. We're not walking in
on any wedding party looking like this. We're the last
people in the world they want.
Speaker 11: To see the nights.
Speaker 5: She even the windows are locked. Father, I know what
we could do? What camp out in the garage?
Speaker 2: No, Henry, your mother never let us hear the last
of us.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 2: Incidentally, when you see it in the morning, it won't.
Speaker 11: Be necessary to mention the fact that we lost a
frying bear.
Speaker 3: How about your shoe that we lost.
Speaker 2: Well, that was an old shoe I bought at least
two years ago.
Speaker 3: Hey, wait, I know how we can get here. Where
are you going?
Speaker 11: The cellar door is unlocked?
Speaker 8: Follow me, bless you, thank.
Speaker 6: You, mother.

perfectly safe. Everything is lost.

cool to me.

from a surprise air attack. That's up to us as
individual citizens. Right now, the Air Defense Command needs three
hundred thousand more volunteers for its Ground Observer Corps, made

a valuable service to our country. Rite aphone, your nearest
