Unfinished Story
\VHAT happened to Fraulein Adelheid Reichenbach? What became ‘of the love-birds nestling in the grey hair? Or is Sarah Campion So confirmed a Berkeleian philosopher that. she could no longer believe in the Fraulein’s existence when the tippet of many furs was no. longer present to her senses? This talk from 4YC was witty and lively, told by an inescapable spellbinder of the Ancient Mariner variety; it had an arresting opening, an interesting developmentbut where was the end? With many radio reminiscences, one could hardly care less about the fate of the people involved; but Adelheid Reichenbach had. in the first few minutes of this talk become such a person that one wanted to hear all. And that, I suppose, is the final test of the power of Miss Campion’s story-telling. Yet I wish she had given it an ending, instead of chopping it off in mid-stream when the requisite
time had elapsed.
