It's as natural as thirst or hunger, except 5 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,079 except when it is not you who is doing the 6 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:43,039 flying by yourself, but are being carried by. But that's 7 00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:47,479 our story. Another gripping twist on a subject which refuses 8 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,280 to die, the vampire.

It 20 00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:53,680 is sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division and by 21 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,519 the Florida Orange Growers. I'll be back shortly with that one. 22 00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:00,400 The following fable is presented to make you want to 23 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,200 buy a Buick. I've never been very good at making decisions. Fortunately, 24 00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:06,640 when I was little, I had some help. And he's 25 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,800 a boy, and we'll check the blue blanket, the blue 26 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,159 rattle and the blue baby buggy with the rubber bumpage. 27 00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:13,439 As I grew older, however, I was increasingly on my 28 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,759 own show, on my snusy on my geez. 29 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 4: That's a tough. 30 00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: Today, decisions still aren't my big strength. May I have 31 00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:23,520 your signature, mister Seymour, Si sha use a pencil of 32 00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:27,000 pana crayon. And well, thanks to Buick, I now have 33 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,719 real problems. I mean, having heard what a great engine 34 00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:32,560 the V six is, spunky at efficient and all, and 35 00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:34,879 knowing that Buick is famous for V six engines, when 36 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,680 I trotted right down to a Buick dealer, then I 37 00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:40,879 find out that they offer it in three cars, the Skyhawk, 38 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,759 the Combat Skylock and the. 39 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: Mid size Century and oh with the Buick V six. 40 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: Well it wasn't easy, but I finally decided I'll take 41 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,960 a Skylock. Well night, Buick Dedicated to the free Spirit 42 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,159 and just about everyone. Kip Strawberry Pie a dessert tradition 43 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,840 that Kip's Big Boy Restaurants and the reason it's a 44 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,639 luscious taste tweet that says fresh from the fields. Fresh 45 00:03:03,719 --> 00:03:06,919 is the key word because Kipps uses only fresh strawberries, 46 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,120 juicy red ripe berries nestled in a tender, flaky crust, 47 00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:14,120 set off with creamy quipped topping. Remember only fresh strawberries 48 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,240 and the famous strawberry pie at Kipps Big Boy Restaurants. 49 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,159 Come and see me. Des sounds so much? 50 00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:25,719 Speaker 5: Are you ready to take the pledge of the one 51 00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:27,879 pluss long distance caller who likes to save money and 52 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:28,639 out of state calls? 53 00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: Yeah? But could I sing it? It's sing it, you see, 54 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,719 I'm a performer. Let's see how it sounds. 55 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 5: Okay, from eleven PM till eight am bedtime to breakfast, 56 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,240 I saved sixty percent. 57 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: I saved sixty percent to bedtime to breakfast from eleven 58 00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:46,159 PM late in the morning. Yeah close, Hey man, let's 59 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:48,240 do an album, But sir, we already have it. 60 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:48,639 Speaker 2: Listen. 61 00:03:48,759 --> 00:04:04,439 Speaker 1: Try at a distance, stay stay Southwestern Bell. Most of us, 62 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,400 I imagine, accept the concept that certain things have been 63 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,400 left out of our general makeup. We don't hit a 64 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:15,639 baseball like Henry Aaron or a tennis ball like Jimmy Connors. 65 00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:19,519 We cannot play the piano or paint or developed the 66 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,720 business of human to become a millionaire. But most of 67 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,560 us certainly expect that we will have equal emotions. How 68 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,519 many of us could even imagine not being able to 69 00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:35,959 love someone, to be a person in whose personality that 70 00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:40,680 emotion had just been completely left out. This is the 71 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:50,319 story of such a man, John Findlay Masters. I've never 72 00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:56,439 really felt incomplete, That is, I never had till but 73 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,040 that would be getting ahead of myself. What I mean 74 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,240 is that I I've never been unhappy, although I suppose 75 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,480 I've not been very happy either, not content enough with 76 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,480 my life, my dreams, my achievements, and my few avocations. 77 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,959 As father Dan McGovern might to say of me, ah, 78 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,319 you're the ultimate pragmatist, John, My boy, that's what keeps 79 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,519 me coming by I'll convert you. Yet what keeps you 80 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,399 coming by the sad delusion that some day, some way 81 00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:28,319 you beat me at our weekly game of chess. Can 82 00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:29,759 I get you something to drink? Oh? 83 00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:31,079 Speaker 2: No, that would be nice. 84 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: A little cherry would warm my heart if you'll join me, 85 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:40,560 by all means I wish I thought it could warm you. Dan, 86 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,680 You'll never let go with you. Why do I worry 87 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,319 you so? Because it's not natural to begin with. I mean, here, 88 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,879 you are a man just turned thirty and you live 89 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,439 like a hermit. You should be married with children, not 90 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,360 my di At least you should have a woman who 91 00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:02,279 I mean someone to cherish and father and you a 92 00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:06,680 man of the cloth. Are you advocating extra marital affairs? 93 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,480 Of course not. I'm less concerned with sex than with love, 94 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,439 which only goes to prove what friendly antagonist we are. 95 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,800 I am just the other way, one of the advantages 96 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,279 of living in today's world. So let me put your 97 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:25,079 mind to rest about that and drink your sherry. So 98 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,800 how it doesn't taste as good as I anticipated. That's 99 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,519 the first class sherry. It isn't the wine that sours 100 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:31,879 on me. 101 00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: It's you. 102 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: Why let it bother you? 103 00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: Because I. 104 00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: Because I feel I stand in local parentice to you. 105 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,800 Your father rests whul was a longtime friend. You puzzled 106 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,439 and worry about me, Dan, you find me hard to understand. 107 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,439 It shouldn't be too difficult. My father who gloated over 108 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,439 my mental capacities, my grecosity and mathematics, particularly the academic 109 00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:01,920 honors I won that fed his because I was his son. 110 00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:05,839 The endless hours. He chained me to a chessboard, teaching 111 00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:09,879 me the game till I became the master. Pride in me, 112 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,920 cold satisfaction, but never love. And on the other hand, 113 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,439 there was my mother. You can't say you didn't get 114 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,839 it from her. That was just the trouble too much 115 00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:27,920 like a dog that looks wildly at his master's face. 116 00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:31,319 All the girls who hung around after the football game 117 00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:35,959 or when we won the basketball championship, wait out by 118 00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:36,800 the Holy Father. 119 00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:38,959 Speaker 2: There's some hope for you. 120 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: Yet there is emotion when sure I thought your soul 121 00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:45,639 was dead and buried. Don't be ridiculous, father, I am 122 00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:48,600 a man of no emotions because I don't need them 123 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,480 or believe in them, except as a destructive force. My 124 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,040 motivations are scientific, in the realm of pure mathematics, sheerly practical. 125 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,240 Come on, you finish your jerry, Let's get to the game. 126 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:04,319 Oh no, no, no, a moment longer. No, I don't 127 00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:07,839 feel much like chess tonight. Well you better. Why is 128 00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:11,240 that it may be your last chance. I'm giving up 129 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,439 my apartment. I'm going away, away where I found a 130 00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:20,399 perfect house, isolated, remote, locked away from the world. Oh sure, 131 00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:21,399 the last place. 132 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:21,959 Speaker 2: For you to go. 133 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,319 Speaker 1: I need to be utterly alone. I'm coming near the 134 00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:28,360 verge of a breakthrough in pure mathematical theory that could 135 00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:30,959 upend the world. My dear God, would you listen to 136 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,240 the man? Hasn't the word been up ended enough already? John, John, 137 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,080 I have a terrible premonition. Is the worst thing you 138 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:47,159 could possibly have done. And so I came to live 139 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,960 at Mayor's Nest, named for the man Mayor who built it. 140 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,639 It should have been called Nightmare's Nest, but I had 141 00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:58,600 no idea of that. Of course, that first afternoon, as 142 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:01,399 missus Denton took me on a tour of my new home. 143 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, mister Masters for the condition of the third floor. 144 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,679 Most of the rooms here are small, old fashioned servants 145 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,039 rumors with little light, and the others are storage who 146 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,559 filled with old lumber lata leftover trash that mister Mayor 147 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,679 has instructed me to throw away, family papers, old clothes 148 00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:20,519 and the like. 149 00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: What's that door at the end of the hall, Why. 150 00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:27,159 Speaker 3: That's miss Stella's old playroom. 151 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: Is it large? 152 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,159 Speaker 3: Oh? 153 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 4: Yes, we'll as have a look at it. It's I mean, 154 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,080 nothing's been done here. After she died, her things were 155 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,039 all taken away too. 156 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,799 Speaker 1: It looks perfect for me, that big gable window overlooks 157 00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:42,200 the garden. 158 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 3: Yes, yes it does. 159 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: Is it fully wired here? 160 00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 3: Oh? 161 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 4: Yes, it's heated electrically. Mister Mayor had two twenty vote 162 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,000 current brought up. 163 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:52,919 Speaker 2: Well, then it's perfect. 164 00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: I may want to put in a computer. Quite a 165 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,320 view too. I didn't get a chance to really look 166 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,320 at the gardens. It's beginning to get a little dark. 167 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,399 What's that sort of walled in area beyond the trees there? 168 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:11,879 Speaker 3: That's that's the maze or what Mister Mayor was a 169 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,919 very rich man. 170 00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 4: He had, he had strange fancies.

The place is 212 00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:13,879 as cold as a grave and sounds like walking through 213 00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:23,399 a crypt. It's a pleasant day, getting very chilly, nice, dry, chill, 214 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,679 invigorating day, and I need a good deal of air 215 00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:28,440 after last night. 216 00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: Pardens there, you said you slept well. 217 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,799 Speaker 1: I did, but heavily.

It's depression. Doesn't make sense on a day 257 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,120 when it's so clear and the cloud cover is so high. 258 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,720 I never felt like this in my life before. 259 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 4: Ah well, heavy. 260 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,159 Speaker 1: Listless, No, what's the word? 261 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:52,759 Speaker 6: I know? 262 00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: Something I've never totally felt in my life, even at 263 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:08,159 my parents' funerals, s sad, just unbearably inescapably said to 264 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:08,840 help us. 265 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: I knew as soon as I saw the door opened, 266 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,120 and the moment. 267 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,639 Speaker 4: We got inside, she's back again.

You 531 00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:17,440 wanted to see the maize, Well, now's. 532 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,079 Speaker 3: The time to see it. 533 00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:19,039 Speaker 1: You've found the key. 534 00:29:19,559 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 3: I've always had it, I never. 535 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 4: Let it out of my sight. Shall we go? 536 00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:32,839 Speaker 1: I followed her to the maize. The lock, rusty and old, 537 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,480 but apparently well oiled, opened easily, and we threaded our 538 00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:39,519 way to the little Grecian temple at the center, Missus Denton. 539 00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:43,799 Leading inside the temple was a dais, and on it 540 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:49,200 lay a carved frescold bronze catafalque. She brought me to it. 541 00:29:50,319 --> 00:29:52,079 Speaker 3: The lid is very heavy. 542 00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:55,559 Speaker 4: It takes a strong man to open it. One day 543 00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:59,359 after she died, I came here with my flowers. The 544 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,079 lid he was standing open. I was appalled, and I 545 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:09,200 stepped forward to look in. Open it yourself, mister Mastus, 546 00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:19,680 and you will see what I saw. 547 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: Curiouser and curiouser, cried Alice as she wound her way 548 00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:29,680 through wonderland. But this is a darker and more disturbing 549 00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:33,559 world than Lewis Carroll ever dreamt of. Even at high noon, 550 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,039 as John Masters and Missus Denton look upon the coffin 551 00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:41,039 of a long dead girl, the forces of darkness swirl 552 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,799 and cloud about them. I shall be back shortly with 553 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,680 that three. Here's a tip from your Better Business Bureau 554 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,079 on the metric system. Have you noticed the metric measurements 555 00:30:51,119 --> 00:30:54,960 on packaged foods at your supermarket lately? Soon the metric 556 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,799 system of measurement will be commonplace all around the country, 557 00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:00,880 and you should be ready for it. Carefully at the 558 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,160 metric measurements on the foods you buy. They may seem 559 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,920 bewildering at first, but they make a lot more sense 560 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,960 than the system of measurement we're currently using. For example, 561 00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:14,480 right now, fluid measures of expressing gallons quartz and pints. 562 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,799 Dry measures are expressed in bushels x dry quartz and pipes, 563 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,279 and a dry quart is sixteen percent larger in volume 564 00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:26,799 than a liquid quart. By using the metric system, however, 565 00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:29,480 you only need to know one unit of measurements for 566 00:31:29,559 --> 00:31:33,160 liquid volume the leader. All of the fluid measurements of 567 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,119 multiples of the leader, and similarly, dry volumes are measured 568 00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:41,119 by the gram and multiples of the gram. This has 569 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,599 been a tip from your Better Business Bureau on the 570 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,519 metric system. 571 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:45,799 Speaker 2: Why be skinny? 572 00:31:46,039 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: Why lose out because you're skinny and underweight due to 573 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,880 poor eating habits. Let weight on put pounds in inches of. 574 00:31:51,839 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 2: Welcome weight on you. 575 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: Weight on users report gains of five, ten, fifteen pounds 576 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,519 and more without loading. 577 00:31:58,319 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 2: Up on sugary syruts or grease. 578 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,519 Speaker 1: Any mixtures helps fill out, peace, arms, bust lined legs, 579 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,440 entire body rich in nutrients for fast strength and quick energy. 580 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,440 Get weight on, wate dash o n like wood or 581 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:17,680 tablets at drugist satisfaction guaranteed or money back. Hello? 582 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 10: Is this the consumer helpline? 583 00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:20,759 Speaker 1: That's right? What can I do for you? 584 00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:23,119 Speaker 10: Well, I need some help picking the best of four 585 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:23,839 small cars? 586 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,319 Speaker 2: What four small cars? 587 00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 10: The VW Beetle, the VW Rabbit, the fee At one 588 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,160 twenty eight and the Toyota Corolla. 589 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:31,279 Speaker 3: What do you want to know? 590 00:32:31,599 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 10: Which one gets good gas mileage all of them?

Hey, that's terrific. 600 00:32:58,279 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 10: So you really think I should buy the Toyota for 601 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,839 all of them? 602 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: Well I am. 603 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 10: I'm not really supposed to say, you know, well, couldn't 604 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,839 you make an exception an unable. 605 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 6: An? 606 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,039 Speaker 1: The little Grecian temple in the center of the maize 607 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,359 is very simple, four ionic columns perhaps twelve feet high 608 00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:36,599 bearing a cupola roof. It is open on all sides 609 00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:40,079 save for a low marble circular series of slabs at 610 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,599 sitting height, supported like benches. In the center is a 611 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,160 dais about three feet high, on the surface of which 612 00:33:48,279 --> 00:33:54,400 rests a bronze coffin, obviously maintained with loving care. There 613 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,799 are no flowers. 614 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,799 Speaker 4: Lift the lid you need have no fear of disturbing 615 00:33:59,799 --> 00:34:04,000 the dead. Very well, it won't be so hard because 616 00:34:05,119 --> 00:34:10,719 I'm a fool woman. The hinges that kept oiled, there's 617 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:16,639 nothing there exactly. That's what I found all those years ago, 618 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,960 a month after she had died, and didn't dare it. 619 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,599 Speaker 1: I was annoyed. I had bought this house from the 620 00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:30,400 mayor estate, with a built in housekeeper, to guarantee my 621 00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:35,559 isolation and quiet for my mathematical experimentation. I realized now 622 00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:37,800 I should have questioned more closely at the bargain I 623 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:38,400 had thought it to be. 624 00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 2: But that die was cast. 625 00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: The problem now was to put all this nonsense out 626 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,000 of my mind and at the same time try to 627 00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:52,880 banish the stifling feeling of profound grief that kept sweeping 628 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,159 over me from time to time. But within a day 629 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,719 or two, with the weather warming and the streams up, 630 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,920 so we could open windows, let ad past and I 631 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:07,719 could get on with my work. Then suddenly it returned 632 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,840 more strongly than before, and on an impulse, I called 633 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,800 Father Dan and then bited him down for a weekend. Harkhuh, 634 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,599 could we open a window, John, as wide open as 635 00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:23,280 they can be already? Why it isn't that warm? Well, 636 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,719 then I could we take a little walk in the garden. 637 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,599 Do you think I was waiting till to morrow to 638 00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:31,960 show up to you? But maybe it's light enough. Why not, 639 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,440 there'd be a give us moon. It's a little over 640 00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:37,639 to half and I'd. 641 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: Like to see this maze of yours. 642 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 1: Hey, it's an amazing little labyrinth. I wouldn't have believed 643 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,119 you could find your way in here, Seezily. 644 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 2: It isn't so difficult. 645 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,320 Speaker 1: There are a whole series of little markers that lead 646 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,760 you right when you know where to find them, or 647 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,239 even in this half light. Hey, you must have. 648 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,679 Speaker 2: Come this way quite often. 649 00:36:02,559 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 1: Yes, I well, I'm fascinated naturally by missus Denton's foolish 650 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,960 And you might say, legend that she's been building up there, 651 00:36:11,199 --> 00:36:14,480 of course, of course. And I see there are fresh 652 00:36:14,599 --> 00:36:16,880 flowers by the coffin. I thought that would be stopped 653 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,480 a long time ago. Oh, I put some there yesterday 654 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,000 morning before I picked you up at the train, a 655 00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:28,079 gesture I don't know why, to an empty coffin. And 656 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,840 it is still empty, naturally, But I have seen a 657 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,800 picture of the young lady who should lie in it. 658 00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:39,079 I'll show you later. And she was a lovely child. 659 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:45,360 I suppose that gypsy lover's relatives tole the body. Oh, now, 660 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,519 why would they do a thing like that, or what 661 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:53,239 would I'm she was wearing jewels rings when she was buried. 662 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,079 I can only surmise they robbed her for those or 663 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,920 some kind of vengeance. Did he have read? Don't Father Dan, 664 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,440 I don't know. I told you it was a surmise. 665 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:10,519 Let's get back to the house. I was in no 666 00:37:10,599 --> 00:37:13,199 mood for discussion when we returned to the house, which 667 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,360 was unreasonable of me, since it was the main reason 668 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,480 I had invited Father Dan down. But the mood of 669 00:37:18,519 --> 00:37:22,159 depression hung too heavily on me, and I wanted to 670 00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:32,440 be alone, to sleep, to just forget. I had no 671 00:37:32,559 --> 00:37:35,840 idea how long I had been lying in bed. I 672 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,440 may even have stepped for a while, But all of 673 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:43,480 a sudden I came awake or consciously in control of thought. 674 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,400 The moon, low in the heavens, cast a glow on 675 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,079 the floor between me and my bed, and slowly the 676 00:37:52,119 --> 00:37:56,559 moon glow missed it between the window and me, twisted 677 00:37:56,679 --> 00:38:02,159 and swirled gently and rose and formed into the figure 678 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:07,000 of a woman, transparent as the mist, standing before me 679 00:38:07,679 --> 00:38:09,000 and moving towards me. 680 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 2: Who are you. 681 00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:18,159 Speaker 3: I have come for you, for me. Why don't question it, 682 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:18,679 my love? 683 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: Just come where. 684 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 4: Now, quickly, to the center of the maids, the center. 685 00:38:25,559 --> 00:38:26,199 Speaker 3: Of the maids. 686 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,559 Speaker 1: I didn't question it. Don't ask me why. Suddenly I 687 00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:41,039 felt her lips on mine, warm, promising, drinking all my 688 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:47,519 heart's blood. And then she was gone. I, who have 689 00:38:47,679 --> 00:38:53,119 questioned every move, decision i'd entertained. I went like a child, 690 00:38:54,039 --> 00:39:03,719 and in the soft moonlight met her.
