Unknown Broadcast | "The Man Who Sold His Soul"

Unknown Broadcast | "The Man Who Sold His Soul"

In this episode, we delve into a haunting tale that grapples with the concept of morality and consequence, essentially asking the question: what are we willing to sacrifice for wealth and success? The narrative introduces us to Sir Dominic Sarsfield, a once-illustrious character fallen into despair, who encounters an enigmatic figure that offers him a tempting bargain. We explore themes of desperation, temptation, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness as Sir Dominic weighs his soul against the allure of riches and glory.

We journey through Sir Dominic's life, filled with revelry and excess, as he revels in a world of parties, wine, and lavish living. However, his fortune takes a turn when his vices lead him down a precarious path, pushing him toward a fateful decision. By meeting with an otherworldly being in the depths of the renowned Maroa Wood, Sarsfield finds himself ensnared in a deal with unforeseen ramifications. Each moment of frivolity is juxtaposed with the haunting reality of potential loss, as Sir Dominic is urged to consider what will happen when the clock strikes midnight on the final day of February.

As the pact unfolds, we witness the gradual corruption of Sir Dominic’s character and the toll that his choices take on both his own life and the lives of those around him. The supernatural element is woven seamlessly into the narrative, illustrating the folly of seeking shortcuts to happiness and the dire consequences of forgetting one's moral compass. The tension builds as the deadline looms, culminating in a breakdown of trust and sanity amidst a backdrop of revelry and dread.

Ultimately, the story serves as a chilling reminder of the fragility of life and wealth, emphasizing that no amount of gold can shield one from the gravity of their choices. Listeners are left reflecting on the value of integrity versus the seductive nature of temptation, and the ultimate fate that befalls those who seek gain at the expense of their soul. As the chilling conclusion reveals the inescapable consequences of Sir Dominic's decisions, we are compelled to consider our own choices within this timeless tale of old-world terror.

I can't lie. I have a bit of a malaise

4
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:28.960
about me, but hopefully tonight's story will go perk me

5
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.240
up just a little bit. You see, this story is

6
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.719
about about making a decision we all have to make

7
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:43.600
whether or not we want to sell our souls. Now,

8
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.880
whether or not I have is not really important, but

9
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.640
it is a choice we all make. So please get comfortable.

they would live in, the poor, they would toy.

25
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.280

27
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.560

hundred years and it'll never leave while the war sturns.

I can hardly believe it.

69
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:47.920
But you don't remember Dominic Saucefield's death.

70
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.560
Do you know, sir, that was a long while before

71
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:55.040
I was born. But my grandfather was butler here long ago,

72
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.639
and many a time I heard tale how is her dominic?

73
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.319
By his death there must have been one of the

74
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.439
most beautiful houses in the whole island.

75
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:05.959
And it's the.

76
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.040
Wind drifted the roof and the rain rotted the timber,

77
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.199
and little boy little in eighteen years time, it came

78
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.120
to what you see is why you have a like

79
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.600
in the ridge tail with a shake of old times.

80
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.480
I never calmed this way, but I take a look in.

81
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:27.199
I don't wonder you like it, though, beautiful spot and

82
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.680
a scene such snowble tree.

83
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.199
See the clean whether notts was ripe. They're the sweetest

84
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:32.959
nts in our oil.

85
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.920
And I think you'd fill your pockets where you'll be

86
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.319
looking about you. Oh, I know woodchay for honor.

87
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.759
The woods about here is not into what they wore

88
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.360
or the mountains along here was wood when my father

89
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.240
was a cushoon, and Morol wood was the grandest of them,

90
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.160
all all oakmostly, and all cut down as bad as

91
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.120
the road. Not one left here that's fit to compare

92
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.480
with him. In which way did jeranak on hither emerick

93

00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.560
between us and harm and a bad meeting.

99
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.040
It was for him and his.

100
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:34.079
The devil, the diver. What what happened? The Dominican.

101
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:43.000
Shity down And maybe I'll ten tale that'll make your

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.600

Yes, yes, I I'd like to.

104
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.000
She's a fine estate. When Saddam and it came to it,

00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.399
I facing and fiddled, and three quarters for other fiddlers,

106
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.920
so many mile there was wine by the house, shake

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.759
for the quality, and pere insider enough to float the navy.

108
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.600
For the poisoned curls and the likes of me. There

109
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.839
was money, Mepio, there was money. And when sir Damn

110
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.879
it came to power, he said about getting rid of it.

111
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.680
Be educated Englage, you know, spoke with the.

112
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.720
Lardy dark tag. He showed off his dogs and horses,

113
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:19.399
and he traveled in.

114
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.720
France, and he had a great time of it, but

115
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.040
once he was caught merry making for so long that

116
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.160
a folk heard tell of him for three years a more,

117
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.279
though the police was kept off course waiting on his return,

118
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.200
and me, grandfather and the house attendant on Sir.

119
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:32.960
Dominic's coming back.

120
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.039
You see in.

121
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.440
One night, one wild.

00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:47.000
Night twice apparently Sir Tamon he did come back. There

123
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:48.519

124
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.039
And the window an.

00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.000
Old corner hand and the Bartley.

and don't be a fair to say what you think?

132
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:36.080
And why should I be afeared?

133
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.600
Master Dominic Shelf was always a good master to me,

134
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.519
and so is your father has his soul before you,

135
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.919

00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.159
It must be sold, and I'm come here. I don't

142
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:10.799

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.720
lost ghost before I go off into the dark again.

144
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.320
Twas the gambling and the drinking and the womanizing.

145
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:25.080
But enough of that. Listen to me. If you should

00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.720

00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.000
and and two or three more trifling things of the

151
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:50.600
kind con con They say, if the devil gives you

152
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.320
money overnight, you'll find nothing but a bagful of pebbles

153
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.240
and chips and nuts in the morning.

154
00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:00.519
If I thought he played fair, I'm a human to

155
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:01.840
make a bargain with him tonight.

156
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:05.840
Lord for me, I say, the country is full of

157
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:08.679
men enlisting soldiers for the King of France. If I

158
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.519
like on one of them, I love refused his offer.

159
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:14.679
Contrary things go.

160
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.759
As long as it's since Captain Waller and Meath fought

161
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.120
the due at Newcastle six year Master.

162
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.039
And you broke his thy you with the bullet the.

163
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.000
First shot I did, gone, I did, And I wish

164
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.759
instead it shot me through that.

165
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:37.000
Have you any whiskey?

166
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.919
Oh sure, sure, sure.

167
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:52.039
Mm hmmmm mm hmmm mmmmmmm mmmm hmmmm.

168
00:11:53.519 --> 00:12:05.320
Here, oh god, and I look at my horse.

169
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.320
Sure I won't be a minute running out to the

170
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.759
stable and seeing your horse, For I'm.

171
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:17.279
Not going to the stable. I might as well tell you,

172
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:21.159
for you'll find it out anyway. I'm going across the

173
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:26.080
deer park. If I jump back, you'll see me in

174
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.799
an hour's time. As anyway, you better not follow me,

175
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.480
for if you do, I'll shoot him. There'll be a

176
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.039
poor ending to our friendship.

177
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.879
And with that he walks out into ours the weather,

178
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:44.399
laying the grandfather with a heavy heart. He went down

179
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.399
to ours Moreau would, and I guess he made up

180
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.039
his mind that if no better came to himself between

181
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.720
that and there, he'd hang himself from one of the

182
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:53.919
oak branches.

183
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.240
With his cravat.

184
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.240
And the weather cleared a chair away. Anyhow, the night

185
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.440
got fined out was still cold. The whisky had cleared

186
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.240
his head, no doubt, and he was thinking of enlistened

187
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:05.759
to be sure in the French King's army.

188
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:07.159
When he walked into.

189
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.039
The woods and sat down.

190
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.360
He knew full well that a man might take his

191
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:15.879
own life any time, what it would puzzle him.

192
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.279
To take it back again.

193
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.799
In despite the cold, he was almost fallen asleep when

194
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.200
he spied a fine gentleman common to me him. I

195
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.840
guess he was a handsome man like himself, and wore

196
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.039
a cocked hat with gold later around him as such

197
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.679
as officer were on the coats, and he had an

198
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.480
address such as French officers.

199
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:36.159
Were in them times.

200
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.639
He came and stopped in front of Sedamoni. Then the

201
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.279
two gentlemen took off their hats to one another. I

202
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:49.519
am recruiting, sir, for my sovereign, and you'll find my

203
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:53.519
money won't turn into pebbles, chips and nutshells by tomorrow.

204
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:59.639
And I'm thinking, sir, that that gentleman pulls out of

205
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.639
paid pack of body and cold in a minute. He

206
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:08.879
said choice upon him. So Dominic must have felt the

207
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.480
very hair stand up straight on his head.

208
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.440
I feel like a new man.

209
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:47.320
It's a lovely day to day.

210
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.879
I took a Grandpa headache powder and I'm worlds better

211
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.399
when cos And flew out about Grandpa headache powders are

212
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.799
what you need. Grandpa headache powders work fast because they

213
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:02.720
dissolved almost immediate. Grandpa makes all this bitful flu symptoms

214
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.799
disappear quickly, So whenever you're in pain, get fast relief,

215
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.879
get Grandpa headache powders Ah Grandpa.

216
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.679
Just soak, just soak in biotechs.

217
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:19.480
Stains, grass stains, collar and cuff stains, ingrain, dirt, soil

218
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:20.039
and grime.

219
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.480
Out they come, and you don't stir a finger.

220
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.399
Just soak, just soak in biotechs.

221
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.799
Biotechs with natural enzymes is the pre washpowder with the

222
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.559
most enzymes to give you extra pre wash power. Absolutely

223
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:36.279
no rubbing, no color loss, no fabric ware. Soaking in

224
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:38.919
biotechs removes the stains and dirt.

225
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:39.720
That washing won't.

226
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.679
Just soak, Just soak in biotechs.

227
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:53.759
Don't be a pay.

228
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:56.000
The money won't burn you.

229
00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:58.480
If it proves.

230
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:01.639
Honest goal and if it pros sipers with you, I'm

231
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:02.720
willing to make a bargain.

232
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.559
This is the last day of February.

233
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.120
I'll serve you seven years, and at the end of

234
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.960
that time, you will serve me, and I'll come for

235
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.960
you when the seven years are over. When the clock

236
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:23.080
turns the minute between February and March and the first

237
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:23.600
of March.

238
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:29.000
You'll come away with me or never. You'll not find

239
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:29.720
me a bad master.

240
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.559
I love my own and I command all the pleasures

241
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.519
and glory of the world. And if you'd rather wait

242
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.799
for eight months and twenty eight days before you sign

243
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:47.480
the writing, you may if you meet me here, but

244
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.639
I can't do a great deal for you in the meantime.

245
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.840
If you don't sign, then all you get from me

246
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:59.240
up to that time will vanish away, and you'll be

247
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.440
just as you are to night, and ready to hang

248
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.200
yourself on the first tree you mean.

249
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:11.720
I don't know what's in it.

250
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:13.519
It's the heaviest load I ever carried.

251
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:20.599
Open it, Open it, good, keep.

252
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.599
And Sir Tammany counted every kinney in the bag, and

253
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:35.240
he took him until daylight, and he made Connery grandfather

254
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:39.039
swear to tell no living soul about it all. And

255
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.519
Sir Daminic went about spending the court in the bag,

256
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:43.680
and the eight months went rapidly away.

257
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:45.440
In the appointed day drew.

258
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.759
Close, and his debts began to pile up all around him,

259
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:51.960
and by the time the night of the twenty eight

260
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.240
come round, he was almost ready to lose his senses

261
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.440
with all the demands that was rising up against them,

262
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.440
and nothing to meet them but the help of one

263
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:05.119
dreadful he had to depend on at night in the

264
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:06.680
awkward down there.

265
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:26.960
Belore, Ah, you found the money good, but it was

266
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:27.480
not enough.

267
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:32.720
No matter, you shall have enough and to spare.

268
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:35.599
I'll see after your luck, and I'll give you a

269
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:39.319
hint whenever it can serve you. Any time you want

270
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:41.920
to see me, you only have to come down here

271
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:44.559
and call my face to mine that wish me present.

272
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.880
You shan't owe a shilling by the end of the year,

273
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:53.200
and you shall never miss the right card, the best froe,

274
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:55.319
or the winning horse.

275
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.160
Are you willing m.

276
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:01.400
Hm, Well make it.

277
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:06.960
Take this needle.

278
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:12.119
I require free drops of blood from your arm. I

279
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.240
shall catch each drop in this acorn cup.

280
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:18.160
Break your arm.

281
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:34.759
Now take this pen, write again what is written there

282
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:35.960
upon this parchment.

283
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:50.880
The bargain is sealed and can never be broken.

284
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.519
Then Sir Taminic was soon out of debt, and he

285
00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.640
took up his old ways again, and everything was fine.

286
00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:15.680
But there was not a poor man on the estate

287
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:21.240
that was not happier than Sir Dominick. In the years

288
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.960
passed here, don Aran was alive again.

289
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:25.319
M was a happy one singing.

290
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.000
All were happy except the master. The morning never ran out,

291
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.680
just as the queer one sair Dominik, met by the

292
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.519
oak sword, would not. The years passed and the seventh

293
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:39.880
approach fast, and Sir Dominic grew more and more out

294
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.440
of umar top, to go on for solitary rides, sometimes

295
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:43.799
at night.

296
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:49.480
Finally he lost hard altogether and sent.

297
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:54.119
For the press. No more to tell, father, that's how

298
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.279
it is with me. That's how it's been for six

299
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.640
and more years. From the months to run?

300
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.240
Now what do I do?

301
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:03.720
Father?

302
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:10.440
Is there ought a No youth had no idea, no idea?

303
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:13.920
But what father, My soul's lost?

304
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:18.920
No, no, I I'll tell you what you do. I'll

305
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:21.440
tell you ten months you.

306
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:22.759
Say, ten months to run.

307
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.359
You must give over doising, and you must give over

308
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:33.000
swearing and drinking an all bad company. You must live

309
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:38.319
a virtuous life, a steady, blameless life until the seven

310
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:45.960
years bargin it out. You must live as if in retreat, Oh,

311
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:50.920
Dominic Tominic, for money.

312
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:57.759
For good luck, and tross your soul. Man, wish I'd

313
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:01.000
never been born. Never say that.

314
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.720
The months went quickly, and Sir Tominick lived a blameless life.

315
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:10.200
That a curse passed his lips, not a dice tod

316
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:13.160
his throw, not a while dance did he lead, never

317
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:14.160
looked at a loose woman.

318
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:16.960
And you may guess you felt queer enough.

319
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.880
When the morning of the twenty eighth of February came.

320
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:24.160
The priest came again by appointment, and.

321
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:29.559
For hours they prayed together till the clock struck twelve.

322
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:31.440
Day.

323
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.920
Sir Tamonick and his Reverence were together in the room

324
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:39.400
you see, and kept up their prayers to the clock

325
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:43.519
struck twelve and an end of February for that year.

326
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.480
M yes, not teach him to be sure, But the

327
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:55.400
deliberate roun evil.

328
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:10.319
H this bis.

329
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.319
Soon now Shadaminate thought he made as well have a

330
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.880
pleasant evening, after all, he's faster than praying, And he

331
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.720
sent round and half a dozen of his neighboring gentlemen

332
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:42.640
to comment tie with him. And there was no end

333
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:46.039
to the wine, And soon the cards came out, and

334
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:49.720
the guineas began to change hands, and his reverence was

335
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:53.480
staid crept away when he saw the way the knights

336
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:58.839
was golding. And the party became drunk.

337
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:02.200
And shure enough, and lasted At the next morning, bet upon,

338
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:03.200
the gentleman.

339
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.799
Took breakfast and slept out today, only to begin again

340
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:07.680
the next day.

341
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:09.839
All right, I'm there again.

342
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:12.400
I never.

343
00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:20.839
Gentlemen, telemen, don't the time. That's the whole thing, gentlemen,

344
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:25.400
A toast for the best first of March I ever

345
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:27.480
sat down upon with my pards.

346
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:34.640
It ain't the first of March. But it ain't the

347
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:35.440
first of March.

348
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:38.240
What is it?

349
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:38.519
Then?

350
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:41.279
Tis the twenty nineth of February.

351
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:46.279
Leapy, what.

352
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:54.640
God say it's not?

353
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:59.240
At is a gentleman downstairs, a queer gentleman of Faber.

354
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:01.480
I see one, per tell your master, says he, in

355
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:03.440
as awful a voice as I even did here, Tell

356
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:06.319
your master, and i'd hear my appintment, and expect him

357
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.480
downstairs by appintment till I.

358
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:13.799
Can't come down yet. Gentlemen, Well, then if you jump

359
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:19.480
from the window, bring a preacher, he says.

360
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:22.440
Unless you come down right away, he'll come up to you.

361
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:31.240
I don't understand this, Oh see what it means?

362
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.880
And the young noble wind with a fish, as if

363
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.119
he was to meet the hangman downstairs, to meet what?

364
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:47.920
And when he reaches the bottom, his gentleman is there

365
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.079
to meet him. And directly that one sees him, he

366
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.240
catches her ham and a cop in his arms and

367
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:56.400
carries him out.

368
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:57.519
The creator.

369
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:10.079
Back of a leg, and the queer.

370
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:14.240
One carries her Dominic outside and whirls him round high

371
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.119
with the.

372
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:19.440
Strength of a paste, and crashes his head upon the wall.

373
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:39.640
Shirtominic was a corpse.

374
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:42.559
There was not a gasp left in him.

375
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:47.400
Patnavan was coming up to the house early the next morning,

376
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:51.799
and after he passed the little brook, his dog that

377
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:55.119
was by his side, makes a sudden wheel and runs

378
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.319
howland by that wall there, and that minute two men

379
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:01.480
passed don have an incomplete silence.

380
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.279
One of them look like her Dominic, and the other

381
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.880
shave Us, who was like not an on earth.

382
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.480
They made no sound with their feet, and who only

383
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:16.440
the dog howled fit to wake the dead.

384
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:24.599
And later Donavan found the master's body. I am there

385
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:30.160
by the wall on that spot, the head.

386
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:35.200
Smashed and the body cool and a step.

387
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:43.480
That's late, and I must get back to the village now,

388
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:45.079
and I'll be leaving too.

389
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:48.640
Good night, you old man, God.

390
00:27:48.599 --> 00:28:34.720
Bless you, Oh goodness gracious, the cold really is penetrating

391
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:42.079
tonight deep into my sore bones. Be careful getting home anymore.

392
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.880
The weather is only going to get less friendly and

393
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:52.680
more frightful. I myself will wait for sunrise and head

394
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:56.880
back to where it is I come from. But you please,

395
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:01.200
I implore you, my dear, my dear, nestle yourself in

396
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:06.240
that cozy little bit of yours, get yourself comfortable and warm,

397
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:14.279
and remember, be thankful for what you have, and I'll

398
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:16.319
see you. I'll see you tomorrow night
