The host from Tracks to Relax guides listeners into a comfortable position for sleep before beginning the tale. The story opens by introducing a young girl named Martha who is inadvertently left alone at home. Everyone in Martha's household is called away: Mrs. McFarland attends her Women's Anti-Gambling League card party. Martha's sister Nell is taken for a drive by her young man, while their father is at his office. The maid, Mary Ann, has the day off, and the housemaid Emmaline asks Martha for permission to visit a neighbor. Martha agrees but advises Emmaline to lock the back door and take the key. The child then states she will be upstairs in the house by herself. The narrative sets up a scenario of unexpected solitude for the young protagonist.
