26 The Branksome Slogan X-RAY UR. ATOMIC: X-RAY : X-RAY : UR. ATOMIC: X-RAY : ANNOUNCER UR. ATOMIC: VIOLET : BETA: VIOLET : BETA : VIOLET : GAMMA : DELTA: ANNOUNCER find X-ray preparing the instruments, with which he is about to operate on Cosmic. Let me see — which one of these is sharper. I won- der if I should kill him immediately, or make it a slow death. (A knock is heard at the door) Come in. Oh, hello. Uranium. Hello X-ray, — how ' s my son? The nurse said his temperature had gone down to 100.2. You must have made a mistake. It is 100.1. (Raising his voice) No. It ' s 100.2! (Also raising his voice) 100.1! (Yelling) said it tvas 100.2 and Vm right. (Flying into a rage) You ' re crazy! It ' s 100.1! We now leave X-ray and Uranium Atomic, and turn to a scene in a small house on Cannibal Street — a nice quiet little street — the home of Uranium Atomic. In the little kitchen, his wife, Mrs. Violet Atomic, is having some trouble with her oven. Her daughter. Beta, is standing watch- ing with bated breath. (In a sudden burst of rage) Why didn ' t Uranium have this oven fixed when I told him to! I knew this would happen. Wait until he gets home! I ' ll divorce him! But mother, you can ' t divorce him again. You ' ve already done it six times! (In a snappy voice) Seven times. NO mother, that was your other husband. (Screamingly) Seven times! (A loud crash is heard as Gamma Atomic rushes in, followed by Delta Atomic) We broke Mr. Volcano ' s window, and he ' s chasing us! With a shot gun! Is Cosmic Atomic ' s temperature 100.1 or 100.2? Will Violet divorce Uranium? Has she divorced him six or seven times? Will the oven work? Will Mr. Vol- cano shoot Gamma and Delta? If there is anjrthing left of your radio when this programme is over, tune in again tomorrow, some time, some station, to find out the answers to these vital questions. We will then present another episode in the life of those nice, quiet people, the Atomics.

Yesterday, you remember, we left Cosmic Atomic in the hospital under the care of his uncle. Doctor X-ray Atomic, who was plotting to kill his nep- hew because his father ' s brother-in-law ' s wife ' s first husband had left a fortune to Cosmic, and nothing to his own son, Alpha. As our scene opens, we Successful?

Nocturne Too tired even to eat Peg and I crawled into our sleeping (bags just at dusk. Thirty miles ! We decided belatedly that it had ibeen far too great an undertaking for the first day of our canoe trip. We had made camp on a small island in Lake Singing Waters.
