TALL STORY
To the Editor, "The Listener" Sir-Would you please extend to me the benefit of your edvice on the following? A short time ago, I was spending an evening with some newly wed friends. As is almost -inevitable, I was proudly shown the handsome clock presented by the hubby’s firm. This lead to a conversation on the subject of time pieces, and eventually the company got to discussing the age of venerable old clocks they knew of. One apparently honest looking man eventually rocked the whole gathering by saying his grandfather (in England) had a grandfather clock which was so old that the shadow of the pendulum moving backwards and forwards had worn a distinct mark on the wall. Is this likely? Yours, etc.,
SUSPICIOUS
Fairlie, January 4, 1940.
