Who Killed Peter's Beetle? A play for radio by F. J. BOWLEY
Yesterday, Thursday, at 10.0 pm in Peter's dimly-lit bedroom, Berty Beetle Roper was seen crawling in a northerly direction along the top of Peter's dressing-table. He appeared to be in perfect health, apart from a slight limp in one of his left legs caused, if one is to believe the reports, by a sprained tarsus.
