1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,639
Speaker 1: The sealed room by Bernhard severin Ingemen. For many years

2
00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:08,839
Speaker 1: there stood in a side street in Kiel, an unpretentious

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: old frame house which had a forbidding, almost sinister appearance,

4
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: with its old fashioned balcony and its overhanging upper stories.

5
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: For the last twenty years the house had been occupied

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,679
Speaker 1: by a greatly respected widow, Madame Wolf, to whom the

7
00:00:22,719 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: dwelling had come by inheritance. She lived there quietly with

8
00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: her one daughter in somewhat straitened circumstances. What gave the

9
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: home a mysterious notoriety, Augmenting the sinister quality in its

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,039
Speaker 1: appearance was the fact that one of its rooms, a

11
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:41,119
Speaker 1: corner room on the main floor, had not been opened

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: for generations. The door was firmly fastened and sealed with plaster,

13
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:48,039
Speaker 1: as well as the window looking out upon the street.

14
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: Above the door was an old inscription, dated sixteen o three,

15
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:56,359
Speaker 1: which threatened sudden death an eternal damnation to any human

16
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: being who dared to open the door or efface the inscription.

17
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Neither door nor window had been opened in the two

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,519
Speaker 1: hundred years that had passed since the inscription was put up,

19
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:09,439
Speaker 1: but for a generation back or more. The partition wall,

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: and the sealed door had been covered with wall paper,

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,439
Speaker 1: and the inscription had been almost forgotten. The room adjoining

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,359
Speaker 1: the sealed chamber was a large hall, utilized only for

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: rare important events. Such an occasion arose with the wedding

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: of the only daughter of the house. For that evening,

25
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:29,239
Speaker 1: the Great Hall, as it was called, was brilliantly decorated

26
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: and illuminated for a ball. The building had deep cellars,

27
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: and the old floors were elastic. Madame Wolf had in

28
00:01:37,519 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: vain endeavored to avoid using the Great Hall at all,

29
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: for the foolish old legend of the sealed Chamber aroused

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,239
Speaker 1: a certain superstitious dread in her heart, and she rarely

31
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,719
Speaker 1: if ever entered the hall herself. But Mary, miss Elizabeth,

32
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:54,519
Speaker 1: her pretty young daughter, was passionately fond of dancing, and

33
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:56,439
Speaker 1: her mother had promised that she should have a ball

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,359
Speaker 1: on her wedding day. Her betrothed secretary, Went was also

35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,319
Speaker 1: a good dancer, and the two young people combated the

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: mother's prejudice against the hall and laughed at her fear

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: of the sealed room. They thought it would be wiser

38
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: to appear to ignore the stupid legend altogether, and thus

39
00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: to force the world to forget it. In spite of

40
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:20,599
Speaker 1: secret misgivings, Madame Wolf yielded to their arguments, and for

41
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: the first time in many years, the merry strains of

42
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:25,319
Speaker 1: dance music were heard in the Great Hall that lay

43
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,759
Speaker 1: next to the mysterious Sealed Chamber. The bridal couple, as

44
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: well as the wedding guests were in the gayest mood,

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: and the ball was an undoubted success. The dancing was

46
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:37,319
Speaker 1: interrupted for an hour while supper was served in an

47
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: adjoining room. After the repast, the guest returned to the hall,

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: and it was several hours more before the last dance

49
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,159
Speaker 1: was called. The season was early autumn and the weather

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: still balmy. The windows had been opened to freshen the air,

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,719
Speaker 1: but the walls retained their dampness, and suddenly the dancers

52
00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: noticed that the old wall paper which covered the partition

53
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: wall between the hall and the Sealed Chamber, had been

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,319
Speaker 1: loosened through the jarring of the building and had fallen

55
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: away from the sealed door with its mysterious inscription. The

56
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: story of the Sealed Chamber had been almost forgotten by

57
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,199
Speaker 1: most of those present, forgotten with many other old legends

58
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: heard in childhood. The inscription, thus suddenly revealed naturally aroused

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: great interest, and there was a general curiosity to know

60
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: what the mysterious closed room might hide. Conjectures flew from

61
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: mouth to mouth. Some insisted that the closed door must

62
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,199
Speaker 1: hide the traces of a hideous murder or some other

63
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: equally terrible crime. Others suggested that perhaps the room had

64
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,719
Speaker 1: been used as a hiding place for garments and other

65
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,599
Speaker 1: articles belonging to some person who had died of a pestilence,

66
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: and that the room had been sealed for fear of

67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,199
Speaker 1: spreading the disease. Still others thought that in the sealed

68
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: chamber there might be found a secret entrance from the cellars,

69
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: which had made the room available as a hiding place

70
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: for robbers or smugglers. The guests had quite forgotten their

71
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: dancing in the interest awakened by the sight of the

72
00:03:55,319 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: mysterious door. For mercy's sake, don't let let's go too

73
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: near it, exclaimed some of the young ladies, But the

74
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,039
Speaker 1: majority thought it would be great fun to see what

75
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: was hidden there. Most of the men said that they

76
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:11,319
Speaker 1: considered it foolish not to have opened the door long

77
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,759
Speaker 1: ago and examined the room. The young bridegroom did not

78
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:18,079
Speaker 1: join in this opinion. However, he upheld the decision of

79
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,439
Speaker 1: his mother in law not to allow any attempt to

80
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: effect an entrance into the room. He knew that there

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: was a clause in the title deeds to the house

82
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: which made the express stipulation that no owner should ever

83
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,759
Speaker 1: permit the corner room to be opened. There was discussion

84
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: among the guests as to whether such a clause in

85
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: a title deed could be binding for several hundred years,

86
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: and many doubted its validity at any time, But most

87
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: of them understood why Madame Wolf did not wish any investigation.

88
00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:48,199
Speaker 1: Even should any of those present have sufficient courage to

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: dare the curse and break open the door, nonsense, what

90
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,959
Speaker 1: great courage is necessary for that, exclaimed Lieutenant Flemingwulf, cousin

91
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: of the bride of the evening. This gentlemen had a

92
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: reputation that was not of the best. He was known

93
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:06,879
Speaker 1: to live mostly on debt and pawn tickets, and was

94
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: of a most quarrelsome disposition as a duellist. He was

95
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:14,879
Speaker 1: feared because of his specialty. This was the ability and

96
00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:17,439
Speaker 1: the inclination through a trick in the use of the

97
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: foils to disfigure his opponent's face badly without at all

98
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: endangering his life. In this manner he had already sadly

99
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:28,399
Speaker 1: mutilated several brave officers and students who had had the

100
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: bad luck to stand up against him. He himself was

101
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: anything but pleasant to look upon, his natural plainness having

102
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: been rendered repellent by a life of low debauchery. He

103
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: cherished a secret grudge against the bridegroom, and bitter feelings

104
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,439
Speaker 1: towards the bride, because the latter had so plainly shown

105
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: her aversion for him when he had ventured to pay

106
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: suit to her. The family had not desired any open

107
00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: break with this disagreeable relative, and had therefore sent him

108
00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: an invitation to the wedding. They had taken it for

109
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: granted that under the circumstances he would prefer to stay away,

110
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: But he had appeared at the ball, and, perhaps to

111
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: conceal his resentment, he had been the most indefatigable dancer

112
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: of the evening. At supper, he had partaken freely of

113
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: the strongest wines, and was plainly showing the effect of them.

114
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,199
Speaker 1: By this time. His eyes rolled wildly, and those who

115
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: knew him, took care not to contradict him or to

116
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: have anything to say to him at all. With a

117
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: boastful laugh, he repeated his assertion that it didn't take

118
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: much courage to open a sealed door, especially when there

119
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: might be a fortune concealed behind it. In his opinion,

120
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,639
Speaker 1: it was cowardly to let oneself be frightened by a

121
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: century old legend. He wouldn't let that bother him if

122
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,439
Speaker 1: he had influence enough in the family to win the

123
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: daughter and induce the mother to give a ball in

124
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:46,519
Speaker 1: the haunted hall. With this last bit, he hoped to

125
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,879
Speaker 1: arouse the young husband's ire, but the latter merely shrugged

126
00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:52,759
Speaker 1: his shoulders and turned away with a smile of contempt.

127
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Wolf fired up at this, and demanded to know

128
00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: whether the other intended to call his the Lieutenant's courage

129
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,079
Speaker 1: into question by his behavior. Not in the slightest when

130
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: it is a matter of obtaining a loan or of

131
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: mutilating an adversary with a trick at fencing, answered the bridegroom, angrily,

132
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: taking care, however, that neither the bride nor any of

133
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: the other ladies should hear his words. Then he continued

134
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,319
Speaker 1: in a whisper. But I don't believe you'd have the

135
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: courage to remain here alone and in darkness before this

136
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,439
Speaker 1: closed door for a single hour. If you wish to

137
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: challenge me for this doubt, I am at your disposal

138
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: as soon as you have proven me in the wrong.

139
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: But I choose the weapons. They must be chosen by lot,

140
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: Sir cousin replied the lieutenant, his cheek pale and his

141
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: jaws set. I will expect you to breakfast tomorrow morning

142
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock. The bridegroom nodded and took the other's cold,

143
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:52,319
Speaker 1: dry hand for an instant. The men who had overheard

144
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: the short conversation looked upon it as a meaningless incident,

145
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,959
Speaker 1: the memory of which would disappear from the lieutenant's brain

146
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,959
Speaker 1: with the vanishing wine fumes. The ball was now over.

147
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,959
Speaker 1: The bride left the hall with her husband and several

148
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,279
Speaker 1: of the guests, who were to accompany the young couple

149
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: to their new home. The lights went out in the

150
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,079
Speaker 1: old home. The door of the dancing hall had been

151
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: locked from the outside. Lieutenant Fleming Wolf remained alone in

152
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: the room, having hidden himself in a dark corner where

153
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,199
Speaker 1: he had not been seen by the servants, who had

154
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,399
Speaker 1: extinguished the lights and locked the door. The night watchman

155
00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: had just called out two o'clock when the solitary guest

156
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: found himself, still giddy from the heavy wine, alone in

157
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: the great dark hall in front of the mysterious door.

158
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:36,639
Speaker 1: The windows were only a slight elevation from the street,

159
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: and a spring would take him to safety should his

160
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: desire to remain there or to solve the mystery of

161
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: the sealed room vanish. But next morning all the windows

162
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,639
Speaker 1: in the great hall were found closed, just as the

163
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,879
Speaker 1: servants had left them the night before. The night watchman

164
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: reported that he had heard a hollow sounding crash in

165
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: that unoccupied part of the house during the night, but

166
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: that was nothing unusual, as there was a general bleak

167
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood that the house was haunted, for Hollow

168
00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:07,399
Speaker 1: noises were often heard there, and sounds as of money

169
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: falling to the floor and rattling and clinking as of

170
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,639
Speaker 1: a factory machine enlightened people. It is true explained these

171
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: sounds as echoes of the stamping and other natural noises

172
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: from a large stable just behind the old house. But

173
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:23,799
Speaker 1: in spite of these explanations and their eminent feasibility. The

174
00:09:23,919 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: dread of the unoccupied portion of the house was so

175
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: great that not even the most reckless man servant could

176
00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:34,519
Speaker 1: be persuaded to enter it alone. After nightfall. Next morning,

177
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock, Winter appeared at his mother in law's door,

178
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: saying that he had forgotten something of importance in the

179
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,639
Speaker 1: Great Hall the night before. Madame Wolf had not yet arisen,

180
00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:46,519
Speaker 1: but the maid who let in the early visitor noticed

181
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: with surprise that he had a large pistol sticking out

182
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,279
Speaker 1: of one of his pockets. Winter had been to his

183
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: cousin's apartment and found it locked. He now entered the

184
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,799
Speaker 1: Great Hall, and at first glance thought it empty. To

185
00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:02,039
Speaker 1: his alarm and astonishishment, however, he saw that the sealed

186
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: door had been broken open. He approached it with anxiety

187
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,919
Speaker 1: and found his wife's cousin, the doughty Duellist, lying pale

188
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,919
Speaker 1: and lifeless on the threshold. Beside him lay a large stone,

189
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: which had struck his head in falling and must have

190
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: killed him at once. Over the door was a hole

191
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:22,519
Speaker 1: in the wall just the size of the stone. The

192
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: latter had evidently rested on the upper edge of the door,

193
00:10:25,399 --> 00:10:28,879
Speaker 1: and must certainly have fallen on its opening. The unfortunate

194
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,759
Speaker 1: man lay half in the mysterious chamber and half in

195
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,039
Speaker 1: the hall, just as he must have fallen when the

196
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,399
Speaker 1: stone struck him. The formal investigation of the closed room

197
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: was made in the presence of the police authorities. It

198
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:44,399
Speaker 1: contained nothing but a small safe, which was built into

199
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: the wall. When the safe had been opened by force,

200
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,039
Speaker 1: an inner chamber, which had to be broken open by itself,

201
00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: was found to contain a number of rolls of gold pieces,

202
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: many jewels, and numerous notes and io ewes. The treasure

203
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: was covered by an old document. From this latter it

204
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: was learned that the owner of the house two hundred

205
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: years ago had been a silk weaver by the name

206
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: of Fleming Ambrosious Wolf. He was said to have lent

207
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: money on security for many years, but had died apparently

208
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: a poor man, because he had so carefully hidden his

209
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:18,799
Speaker 1: riches that little of it was found after his death.

210
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,639
Speaker 1: With a niggardliness that bordered on madness, he had believed

211
00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:26,039
Speaker 1: that he could hide his treasure forever by shutting it

212
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,879
Speaker 1: up in the sealed room. The curse over the door

213
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: was to frighten away any venturesome mortal and further security

214
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:35,759
Speaker 1: was given by the clause and the title deed. The

215
00:11:35,919 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: universally disliked Lieutenant Fleming Wolf must have had many characteristics

216
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: in common with this disagreeable old ancestor, to whose treasure

217
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:45,919
Speaker 1: he would have fallen heir had he not lost his

218
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: life in the discovering of it. The old miser had

219
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,879
Speaker 1: not hidden his wealth for all eternity, as he had hoped,

220
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: but had only brought about the inheriting of it by

221
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: Madame Wolf, the owner of the house and the next

222
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,639
Speaker 1: of kin. The first use to which this lady put

223
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:03,279
Speaker 1: the money was to tear down the uncanny old building

224
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: and to erect in its stead a beautiful new home

225
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: for her daughter and son in law.
