00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:26.280
Dangerously Your, Dangerously Yours, a
half hour of romance and adventure, brought

2
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.039
to you at this time each Sunday
by the Bi Chemical Company and presenting today

3
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:35.640
an exciting tale based on Albert Noye's
famous form, The Highwayman, starring Victor

4
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:45.520
Jury. I am adventure in my
name, Men of Travis, the highways,

5
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.560
the byways, the skyways of the
world. I have sat with the

6
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:54.719
rubber barons before their fireplaces. I
have sailed with pirates in search of treasure.

7
00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:00.880
I have fought beside gallant dueling for
a kiss. I climb mountains and

8
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.680
cross deserts, daring all for one
great moment. I am the romantic fire

9
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:11.280
that burns in the heart of youth, that makes men dream and there and

10
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:23.760
conquer. I am Adventure. I
am dangerously yours. The night follow me

11
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:29.079
to the forests of the England of
long Ago. The night we ride these

12
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.640
forests by the side of one of
the most dashing figures of legend, The

13
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:47.799
Highwayman. The wind was a torrent
of darkness among the gusty trees. The

14
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.439
moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon
cloudy seas. The road was a ribbon

15
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.480
of moonlight over the Purple Moor,
and the highwayman came riding, riding,

16
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:20.439
riding, All right, coatsman,
down from the box here, now what's

17
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.000
all this? Sorry to put you
out, sir, but i'll have your

18
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.520
purse if you don't mind, be
hanged. If you will, you assured

19
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.000
they will be if I don't.
What is it? A guy? Stay

20
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.199
in the carriage, biss Oh,
good evening, mister hire woman? How

21
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.840
goes the night profitably? You're a
spirited girl, aren't you. I'm not

22
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.400
afraid of you if that's what you
mean. You see, I'm of a

23
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.439
poor family. There's nothing you'd steal
from me, aren't you? Being rather

24
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.199
fool hearted? Dismounting? A high
woman is always safer in his saddle.

25
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.639
Bis, Get in the carriage.
Don't stand here bandying words with this fellow

26
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.360
you're follow will be wanting to death, wondering why the coach is laid here.

27
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.199
My highwoman, take my person.
Let us go heavy purse too.

28
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.520
It's enough to buy your freedom and
mine by yours. I'll take a kiss

29
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:05.039
if you'll give it to me.
She'll see you hang first. You're a

30
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.560
highwaman, aren't you accustomed to taking
what you want. I have that reputation,

31
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.759
but I'd like to be something a
little more than a highwoman to you,

32
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.719
ah, perhaps a little less.
How strange to have a man make

33
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.520
love to you with a gun in
each hand and a bag of plunder over

34
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:25.439
his shoulder, and speak of asking. But since I am asking, since

35
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:40.240
you are asking, of course you
must have the kiss. The road was

36
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.240
a ribbon of moonlight over the Purple
Moor, and the highwayman came riding,

37
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.800
riding, riding. The high Woman
came riding up to the old indoor,

38
00:03:53.159 --> 00:04:00.479
hiking a naive all around the best
house. Hello Tom, having a night

39
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.080
jam. I take it. The
hunting was hunting was very good. And

40
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.360
there's a fortune of my saddle bags
that'll be on its way to island tomorrow,

41
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.159
or fill a lot of empty Iry's
stomach. Those men at the corner

42
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.599
table are watching, who cares.
No one has ever seen the North Road

43
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.399
high woman except in mask and hat. Who's going to link him with a

44
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.639
slightly tipsy, very happy Cordier.
You'll never know who it is, and

45
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.000
that's the danger. But some day
someone will, and then one and then

46
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:32.879
the end, and lord and Lord, I did them, Fellow kissed your

47
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.439
daughter. Not only did he steal
in my first but he kissed your daughter.

48
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.959
Well, now, sa guy,
what chick chee? Look here?

49
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.120
I hope to make that young lady
my wife some day, and I can't

50
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.319
have her running around kissing every tom, dick and high woman in the country.

51
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.800
And will you please ask her to
hurry and dress. We should be

52
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:54.600
late for Lady Catherine's ball, and
I despise being lady. I'll see what

53
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.759
I can do, shi, guy, But she has quite a costume to

54
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.759
get into. Aren't you waiting a
costume? Haven't did a taste for such?

55
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.040
Polder off, I read a mask
and that's the positive limit. I'll

56
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.399
go to hurry out along, Tim, hurry on along? And all right,

57
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:18.800
all right, all right, yeah, oh hello father, what do

58
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.920
you up the deck of my dress? Please? You guys in a fierce

59
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:28.279
mood? Oh, funny daddy.
I know he's very angry with me because

60
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.240
I kissed the highwayman. Won't even
possessed. You didn't do a thing like

61
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:36.639
that. I don't know. Isn't
that funny? Father? Except that even

62
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.959
though he wore a mask, even
though I knew he was abandoned, he

63
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.759
was someone I recognized. When I
saw him, I vought why. Of

64
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.399
course, when I used to sit
by the window watching the empty road in

65
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:54.879
the night, it was you I
was watching for. And when I used

66
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:59.759
to dream of someone's lips and someone's
arms, it was your lips and your

67
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.360
I know it sounds foolish, but
it's true. That's why I kissed him.

68
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:11.079
And if it said come with me, I think I would have gone.

69
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.079
It's a bad business being in love
with a highwayman. Best you can

70
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.560
get out of it is the worst
you can get out of anything. They

71
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.560
all come to the same end.
Sooner or later. You know, sir

72
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.040
Guy's well off. He can give
you a fine home and a lot of

73
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.519
beautiful things you'll never had. Not
many girls in your position in life have

74
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.839
the opportunity to marry so well.
I no father, But those are the

75
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:41.240
things I won't. Sir Guy would
suffocate me. I want my life to

76
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:46.639
be the way was tonight exciting and
beautiful and challenging. But tonight you were

77
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.399
flirting with death. I mean,
it's no man in England more dangerous to

78
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:54.720
love than a highwayman daughter, and
no man in England more exciting. I

79
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.560
hope you'll never see him again.
I pray to God you never see him

80
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.519
again. In fact, I bid
you to see him again. Tims got

81
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.839
him, fussy, old goat.
Come on, father, how do I

82
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:11.279
look? For the first time since
you were born? Now I wish you

83
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:16.000
weren't so beautiful, But the first
time since I was born. I'm glad

84
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.800
I am. You'll never see him
again. If I can help it,

85
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:29.480
You'll never see him again. Come, come, come, madieu. We're

86
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.600
going to be late, you know, I just spise being late. Yes,

87
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.600
the guy I know? Father?
Yes? What did it be?

88
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.120
Who is that man sitting at that
corner table? Him, Sir John Langiship.

89
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.279
I haven't you ever seen him before? He's one of the King's close

90
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:49.519
associates, very promising young men.
Oh why does he interest you? No?

91
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.519
But for the moment I thought he
was someone else. Good night,

92
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.079
Father, I'll be home early.
Good night, have a good time.

93
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.439
God. Daughter is very beautiful,
Landlord. She's a beautiful amount of troubles,

94
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.560
Sir John, that's what she is. Why why, I'll tell you

95
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.519
why. There's said guy Bennington ready
to marry her and give her a good

96
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.279
home. And all she can talk
about is that highwayman. The highwayman.

97
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.199
Does she know the Highwaman? The
rascal held up her coach tonight and kissed

98
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.720
her. Can you imagine that?
Yes? I can? And now she

99
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.959
fancies herself in love with him.
No, I shouldn't be standing here telling

100
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.600
you all this, She says,
I talk too much, and I suppose

101
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.440
I do. It's heavy on my
mind tonight. So she's in love with

102
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.960
the highwayman. Where has she gone? Now? She's gone to Lady Catherine's

103
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.720
mask garade, And since sir guy
has taken her up, she gets invited

104
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.519
to all the gentry's affairs. Well, I've got to see to my guests.

105
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.759
Can I answerve you something? No? No, I I think I

106
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.480
must believing. Well, good night, sir John. Come again, what

107
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.559
you're thinking of us? Too dangerous? Johns don't suppose Lady Catherine would have

108
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.879
welcomed highwoman. Why you can't attend
a party in a mask? Too many

109
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.679
the guests of seeing you in a
mass be fun to put them to the

110
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.879
test, John, are you tired
of living? Do you look forward to

111
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.840
dangling at the end of a rope? Danger as the frosting of a cake?

112
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.519
Good Night, Tom, I'll see
you later. You've lost your mind,

113
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:33.679
Old Tom. Only my heart he
the French cock Catney's for it,

114
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.399
and a bunch of blazon his chin, a coat of claire and velvet,

115
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.639
and breeches a brown doe skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle. His

116
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.519
boots were up to the thigh,
and he rode with a jewel twinkle.

117
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:58.840
His pistol butts a twinkle under the
jewel sky. That whom shall I announce?

118
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.720
Well, it's a masquerade, isn't
it? What fun is it if

119
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.399
you announce everyone? I'm afraid I
cannot admit you unless you give me your

120
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.120
name? Sir? What things to
me? The trouble heart? If this

121
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.759
er gentleman does not wish to be
announced, Lady Catherine? Oh and why

122
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.200
is that, Lady Catherine? What's
the point of a masquerade? If you

123
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.519
announce who is behind each mask?
Where's the intriguely the advanture? One is

124
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.399
sure then that all the guests are
friends. Were you to see my face,

125
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.399
Lady Catherine, you'd laugh and let
me in, and there'd be no

126
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.000
mystery to the evening. Oh come, Lady Catherine, you've more spoiling blood

127
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.879
than that. You seem most familiar
and at the same time. Most strange.

128
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.799
For all I know, I could
be letting in the highwomen. I'll

129
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.960
not deny that. As a matter
of fact, that's who I'm dressed to

130
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.000
represent. Well, Lady Catherine,
do I attend your ball masked and unannounced?

131
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.440
You do? Since that is your
pleasure? Mask and no announced?

132
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:20.759
Midnight? May I have the pleasure
of this horse? I have a partner.

133
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.080
He went to get some refreshment.
Then you're free for the moment,

134
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:35.480
Yes, for the moment. You're
lighter than moonlight my eyes. Wasn't it

135
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.799
rather foolish of you to come here, sir John Lancashire? Oh so you

136
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.279
know my name? I know enough
about you to hang you. Why do

137
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.960
you say that you surely didn't think
I'd forget you so quickly? Oh,

138
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.200
that, sir guy would, Sir
Guy doesn't worry me too much. Perhaps

139
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.240
you'd better worry about me. Sir. If you think I'm going to stand

140
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.840
by and that you rob my friends, you're fastly mistake. I'm your prisoner.

141
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.799
Call out, turn me over whenever
you are. You so sure I

142
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:05.240
won't know, but I am sure
that if you do, it doesn't matter

143
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.840
very much what happens to me.
As a matter of fact, i'd advise

144
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.840
you to call out, my dear. It would be very wise. Why

145
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.639
because if you don't, you will
be my prisoner for the rest of your

146
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.039
life. If I turn you over, they'll kill you. If you don't,

147
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.120
there may be a day when you'll
die with me, because I'll never

148
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:33.080
stay away from you. Not now, Well, my dear, I cannot

149
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.399
do it. God help us both. I cannot do it. Yes,

150
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.559
sir, I would just kill again
for you, sir, guy, excuse

151
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.360
who is that man? Biss?
I don't know, you don't know,

152
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:50.440
you don't do It's me familiar to
you at all? No, I can't

153
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.320
if he is? Oh well,
I have all a freshman's over by the

154
00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:09.159
window that thro those voices? What
are you doing up here? By yourself?

155
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.679
It was warm in the ball room. I wanted a breath of there.

156
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.679
What are you doing up here?
Looking for you? It's a beautiful

157
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.039
night, isn't it. You could
almost touch the stars. This is my

158
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.360
kingdom, and now it's yours.
The world at our featen heaven, at

159
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.960
our finger tips. Oh, my
darling, this is the hour to be

160
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.639
young and in love. That's our
monamous guy here, and this is our

161
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.120
world all about us. This I
had to say it. I love you.

162
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.480
I love you this hour and will
for every hour until the end of

163
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:58.879
time. My darling, My darling, it's almost midnight. There'll be unmasking

164
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.440
soon and you'll be leaving. Oh
take me with you. I can't.

165
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.480
I can't take you with me,
not yet. It's it's too dangerous.

166
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.159
Why do you like this? Why
do you steal? You don't need the

167
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.799
money. I do, but not
for myself. I've never kept anything for

168
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:22.279
myself. You see that people in
this world who don't realize they have too

169
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.759
much, just as there are people
who don't realize they don't have enough,

170
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.679
that they're dying, too young and
too poor. I steal for them.

171
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:39.559
Those I take from can always spare
it. Do you understand? Yes?

172
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.279
I think I do, But it's
wrong. I know it's wrong, and

173
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:48.399
so do you. There must be
more honorable ways you can help. Are

174
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.879
you? Are you trying to reform
me? I'd like to. I'd like

175
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.200
to keep you safe, because you
see, from tonight on my heart will

176
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:03.399
be riding a high ways with you, and it's pretty vulnerable. An accident

177
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:09.559
to you could kill it too.
You're very sweet, there's something between us.

178
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.120
I knew it this evening when you
kissed me. It was like like

179
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.639
coming home. Whatever comes to one
of us must come to both of us.

180
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.440
Now it's like that, isn't it. Yes, it is like that.

181
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:30.080
I wish it wasn't, but it
is like that. Goodbye for the

182
00:15:30.120 --> 00:16:00.519
moment he's having his house. We
pause now, but only freaking. The

183
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.000
usual commercials had been omitted in this
audition, and we proceed immediately with Act

184
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:18.919
two of the Highwayman. The Highwayman
came riding, riding, riding. The

185
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.240
Highwayman came riding up to the old
indoor over the cobbles. He clattered and

186
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.120
clashed in the dark inn yard,
and he tapped with his whip on the

187
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.399
shutters, but all was locked and
barred, and he whistled a tune to

188
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.159
the window. And who should be
waiting there but the landlord's black eyed daughter.

189
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:41.360
Best the landlord's daughter, gleating a
dark red love knot into a long

190
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:52.120
black hair. We'd better walk out
by the gate down, rode away.

191
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.960
We don't want to awaken father.
If he has to waken now, I

192
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.200
don't think that he will. You
never can do, Oh, johnath Is

193
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.400
so long. For three weeks,
I haven't hit a word from you.

194
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:08.599
If I've been busy. Oh,
I've been making plans. I've decided to

195
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.960
become an honest man for you for
a prize. I'm out to night,

196
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:18.759
just one prize, and I'm taking
it and then quitting. I've decided to

197
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.519
buy a farm in the north.
Would you like being a farmer's wife?

198
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:27.640
I like being yours? Wonderful?
All right, now here are my plans.

199
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.359
I'll have to be off now because
I've a long way to ride,

200
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.559
but i'll be here about noon tomorrow, and then we'll find a clergyman and

201
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:41.279
become mister and missus farmer and that
will be the end of the Highwayman,

202
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:48.240
I can't believe it. Who are
here? Here? Nah? What are

203
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:53.759
you crying about? Maybe dreams do
come true. Maybe there is something to

204
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:59.799
fairy tale endings. Maybe the prince
and princess do live happily ever after.

205
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:07.000
I've been so frightened. I've had
such dreams. I kept seeing you dead

206
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:12.079
by the roadside. Wasn't it foolish
of me? Don't you know? My

207
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:17.519
life is charmed? Now? Then? Just one thing more? If they

208
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:19.680
pressed me sharply, I may not
be able to get here during the day.

209
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:23.839
If you don't see me at noon, look for me by moonlight.

210
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:30.400
You'll surely come. I'll come to
you by moonlight, though hell should bar

211
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:37.599
the way. And now until tomorrow, goodbye, darling, until tomorrow,

212
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:55.000
and darken the dark hole in yard
a stable wicket creaked Where Tim the austral

213
00:18:55.079 --> 00:19:00.000
listened. His face was frightened,
peque his eyes were hollows of madness,

214
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.119
his hair like moldy clay. But
he loved the landlord's daughter, the landlord's

215
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:08.640
red lipped daughter, dumb as a
dog. He listened, and he heard

216
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:15.039
the robber say, I'll come to
thee by moonlight, though hell should bar

217
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:27.559
the way. Well, Bess,
well father, So John Lancashire and the

218
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:32.640
highwomen are one and the same.
Doesn't that sound a little ridiculous to you?

219
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.079
Yes, but I know it's true. Tim the Ostler heard you a

220
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:40.319
while ago. He told me your
whole conversation. Miss. I want you

221
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.000
to promise that you'll never see that
man again. He's bad, he's a

222
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:47.039
robber, and you're a good girl. And not for the likes of him.

223
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.559
I'm going to see that he's put
in prison and you must tell me

224
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.519
where he high. I don't know, and if I did, I wouldn't

225
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.240
tell you. You'll have to catch
him yourself. No, you'll catch him

226
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.839
for me. He'll come to see
you and then we'll have him. No,

227
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.960
No, you can't make me do
that. You wouldn't do that.

228
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.599
You couldn't do that. Don't you
understand how I love him? It isn't

229
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.240
love it to disease. You'll get
over it in time, and then you'll

230
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.519
fall in love with a decent,
god fearing man. He's decent and god

231
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.559
fearing and fine and honest. Don't
you think i'd know if you weren't.

232
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:23.480
No, you're young. Your judgment
isn't worth much. Yet, Why bless

233
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:27.799
your best girl. You're all I've
got in the world to love. That's

234
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:33.839
why I'm doing this. Breaks my
heart to her, Humbert. I know

235
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.880
what's the right thing, and I
know you'll thank me for it some day.

236
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:42.240
Oh No, follow listen to me. If he dies, there's nothing

237
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:47.960
in the world for me anymore.
My heart would always be empty. He's

238
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:51.039
the blood that causes through me and
all the pain and all the joy.

239
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.319
He's what my eyes want most to
look upon, and my arms want most

240
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.440
to embrace. He's a difference between
life and death and heaven and hell.

241
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.880
Don't you understand if he died that
I want to die. Love isn't that

242
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:10.039
important, Bess? Only seem so
now and then when we're young, we

243
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:14.680
don't really die of it. You'll
have to trust me. You'll have to

244
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:18.240
believe that I know what's best for
you. This pain will pass in a

245
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:23.319
week or a month. Here'll be
some one else in Please, please don't

246
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:27.160
do this. Don't betray him.
I love you, daughter, and I

247
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:32.039
must. If you do, I'll
despise you. I'll despise you and hate

248
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:36.160
you and lone you until I die. Good Night, Bess, I'm sorry,

249
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:56.880
but I'll have to lock your door. Mother. He did not come

250
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.920
at dawning. He did not come
at noon, and out of the tawny

251
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.160
sunset, before the rise of the
moon, when the road was a gypsy's

252
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:10.720
ribbon looping the purple more. King
George's men came marching, marching, marching.

253
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.519
King George's men came marching up to
the old in door. You're the

254
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.240
landlord here, I am to where's
your daughter? And she's locked in her

255
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:26.599
room? I'll take you up follow
me. Man. You'll treat her kindly,

256
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.160
won't you. She'll be all right
as long as she doesn't try to

257
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:34.960
escape. All right, landlord,
you can wait downstairs. I'd love to

258
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:40.759
stay. We'll call you every wanting, Yes, sir, tie to the

259
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:45.480
foot of the bed, and pretty, wentioned? She a little dear stained.

260
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.799
Well that's what comes of having a
taste for the wrong people. Be

261
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:56.200
nothing to say? No, Well, tire up for a death, watched

262
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.240
a gagger. I don't want to
take a chance of her screaming and warning

263
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.519
him. You would if you had
the chance, wouldn't you? Yes,

264
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:08.200
she bound good and tight. All
right? You and Keith take your watch

265
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:12.480
by that window. You shoot him
from there? Well, my pretty,

266
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:18.680
how about a kiss for a hard
working soul too? All right, all

267
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.119
right, you're a little peppery for
my taste. How about giving her a

268
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.960
spot of this brandy? No,
I've got this gag fixed now, but

269
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.880
I'll have one myself. She really
looks like she's keeping a watch, all

270
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.799
right. All she needs is a
gun. That's a good idea. I'll

271
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:38.480
tie a gun to a chest and
she'll really be a dangerous little girl,

272
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.079
too bad of hands. Won't be
free away min she makes sure work with

273
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:48.559
us. Hey you are lady.
Now keep good watch, now, keep

274
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.519
good watch. And they kissed her. She heard the dead man say,

275
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:57.200
look for me by moonlight. I'll
come to be by moonlight. Tho hell

276
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:02.839
should bar the way. She twisted
her hands behind her, but all the

277
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.599
knots held good, she writhed,
A handle of fingers were wet, was

278
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:11.680
sweat and blood. They threatst and
strained in the darkness. The hours crawled

279
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:18.160
by like ears till now on the
stroke of midnight cold, on the stroke

280
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.559
of midnight, the tip of one
finger cussed the trigger at least was hers.

281
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.839
The tip of one finger touched it. She strove no more for the

282
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:32.160
rest. Up she stood to attention
with the bell beneath her breast. She

283
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:36.720
would not twist the hearing, she
would not strive again for the road.

284
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:38.599
Lay bear in the moonlight, blank
and bear in the moonlight, and the

285
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:49.119
blood of her veins in the moonlight. Throbb'd to a love's refrain, where

286
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:55.640
is he? Maybe isn't coming.
Maybe someone's having a love at us.

287
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:59.759
Well, if they are, it
isn't her. Well, look pretty s

288
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.440
going back to London and saying,
we said all night for nothing. Maybe

289
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:08.119
he's got another love. Maybe he's
not interested in this one anymore. Christen

290
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.799
Fish, We've got to be sure
it's him. We can't make a mistake

291
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.400
ere anybody comes hate him. I
couldn't mistake that figure in his taken and

292
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:23.680
get him until he gets a little
closer. He mustn't waste to shot.

293
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:30.559
Frighten him best, he sighed,
he's riding away. Come on, he's

294
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:45.440
riding your world. First. First, my do he turned, He sput

295
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.279
him westward. He did not know
who stood bowed with her head or the

296
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:53.839
musket drenched with her own red blood. Not until dawn he heard it,

297
00:25:55.319 --> 00:26:00.279
and slowly blanched to hear how best. The landlord's daughter, the Landlord's black

298
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.160
eyed daughter, had watched for her
love in the moonlight, and died in

299
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.640
the darkness there back she spread like
a madman, springing a pleasure sky,

300
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:12.720
the white goat, sting a brandy
time blood bread way first, like golden

301
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:18.920
noon wine. Red was his velvet
coat. And they shudder down on the

302
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.759
highway, down like a dog on
the highway. And he lay in his

303
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:36.559
blood on the highway, with a
bunch of lace at his throat, and

304
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.119
still of a winter's night, they
say, when the wind is in the

305
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:44.839
trees, and when the moon is
a ghostly gadgeon tossed upon cloudy seas,

306
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:49.279
when the road is a ribbon of
moonlight over the purple MORA highwayman comes riding,

307
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:53.839
riding, riding, a highwayman.
From riding up to the old inn

308
00:26:55.000 --> 00:27:00.279
door. He whistled a tune to
the window, and whosh, I'd be

309
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.759
waiting there, good evening, mister
Hiraman, How goes the night profitably?

310
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:08.359
That depends? I'm asking for a
kiss? Aren't you accustomed to taking what

311
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:15.200
you want? But since I am
asking, since you are asking, of

312
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:23.599
course, to the whole should be
waiting there? But the landlord's black eyed

313
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:32.119
daughter best the landlord's daughter pleading a
dark red love knot into a long black

314
00:27:32.279 --> 00:28:18.440
hair. I am adventure today.
I've brought you the Highwayman. Next week

315
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.200
I will tell you a dramatic and
colorful story of New York. It happened

316
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:41.000
in Grammercy Square. Until then,
I am dangerously Yours. The Highwayman was

317
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:47.240
written for Dangerously Yours by Jeane Holloway. The music was composed and conducted by

318
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.880
Arnold Johnson. The stars were Victor
Jerry and Gertrude Warner,
