Announcer introduction: "As if the whole world were conspiring to expose Molly's daughter-in-law and what she is and wants, a letter from the Red Cross arrived... and suddenly Grace in a fit of hysterical fear demanded the letter even though it was addressed to Rosie... Now we know that what Grace fears more than anything is a letter from Sammy Goldberg... just the way we know that what she wants more than anything is the check which she got from Rosie... This check, and George, fit into Grace's plans for the immediate future... while a letter from Sammy or anyone connected with him, does not. So Grace demanded the letter... and Molly despite all her suspicions, suddenly told Rosie to give the letter to Grace... Now listen..."
Announcer close: "Grace must be frightened indeed to tear up the very thing for which she schemed so much... with the check gone her reason for staying ends... but the reason for her coming is not yet altogether clear as we shall see..."

with no not only from the Red Cross let us come from elsewhere gurgling maybe corn masa he is Papa's coming over together with George or what is occurring there if anything go what I think white is coming density and I once silence Rosalie I want perfect so say your pack where there you go I'm leaving here's the letter Sammy must have a good tidings by now he must know he's going to be a father don't forget when you write to him to tell him how trusting you or how much faith you had in his wife I wanted to stay here there's nothing more in the world that I wanted to be even the daughter to you but it needs more than my warning to make it happen much more until Sammy gets home I know it'll never be the way I hoped and wanted it to be well I can wait I'm not even angry I'm only unhappy always sad knowing that it may be years before we can see each other and be what we should be to eat other there's nothing more in the world that I wanted more great and that you should be my real daughter and I should be your real mother I tried believe me I tried I tried with all my might outside with all my main but you were suspicious and you were unkind even if you didn't want today I kept suspicions from my mind i drowned them out I hid them away I didn't want to think of them remember great don't forget so easily now because you're because you're angry don't forget that but I did all in my power I did more I love with you and I still want to love you I'm only trying to be sure that you're everything I want you to be in fam wrong and I hope I am well children must forgive their tailings from mistakes as often as parents forgive that show okay hey why I OPEC race where are you going where's your old ha you went for George you too dad I thought you trusted me and love me well it's better if you feel the way mother doesn't Rosie does better much better for me to leave them to stay on here and help divide my husband's house now you can all agree on condemning me you can all be united in that until Sammy comes home and then you can all change together Oh George George so this is the big scene that's been arranged I didn't think you'd stoop to this ahead the big scene trying to force a confession out of me as if I were a thief or something you know what they think George they think we're lovers they think we came here together with only one thing in mind with a plan to fool people and get money out of them they didn't even give me a chance from the very first day first Rosie suspected me she went around trying to build up a case against me and I knew it oh I knew it all the time and I kept silent I hope that common sense and common fairness would convince Rosie but the result was the opposite she turned mother's love and dads into a nasty suspicion they took the whole idea of why I wanted the money and made it into a combination of me money money only money that was an easy thing to hang a suspicion onto that was an easy way to lose trust and lose faith and make me into a monster that was an easy way to forget who I wasn't what I wanted to be to them grace everything became the check projects became the very thing on which every action was to be judged money was everything alright then let money be everything let the check be the test if you have to have tests to prove what a person is you see Rosie I don't want your money you can have a thinner education you need it I just hope they teach you the things you have to learn about people in life see I'm tearing it and destroying this I hope I'm destroying every evil thing that grew up here under your suspicions but I can't stay here anymore i couldn't husband George Lee George get your car and take me to the Train well grace must be frightened indeed to tear up the very thing for which she schemed so much of course with the check gone destroyed her reason for staying ends but the reason for her coming in the first place is not yet altogether clear as we shall see you know we all value friendship pretty highly don't we take Daisy doesn't she really values her pal Donald's friendship Daisy said I told Donald I couldn't get along without him any more than I could get along without does gosh that's devotion oh you bet Daisy and ladies you'll be just as devoted to does four dishes yes this new kind of soap does everything in the wash and has everything four dishes too does make suds that stand up till the last dish is done cuts grease like 60 yet it's kinda two hands than any other leading granulated wash day so notice how nice your hands feel after dozen your dishes and watch how those suds stand up no need to keep adding soap to finish the greasy pans and does cuts grease without any hard scarring all you like does it has everything for dishes and here's a wartime request don't waste does all soaps contain vitally needed war materials so all we soaked pots and pans first in Clearwater see to what every bit of does you use does more be sure to listen
