00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:10,439
Speaker 1: The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: Come in.

3
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: Or welcome. I'm a g Marshall. It might occur to

4
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:31,079
you that since I lived so much in the world

5
00:00:31,079 --> 00:00:35,640
of the macabre, I could become jaded. Nothing could be

6
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:40,119
further from the truth. For the deeper I delve into Satanism,

7
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:44,000
the oicult, the mystical history of the past, the more

8
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:48,359
I realize how little I know, how much is yet

9
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:53,439
to be revealed. An example, this tale, a quiet and

10
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,119
unassuming one, but filled with such brooding and haunting terror

11
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:03,759
that I'm sure you will carried with me. I love you,

12
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:08,840
but we have different states to help. With faith and church,

13
00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:10,439
I will still make your mind.

14
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:13,439
Speaker 3: Never can never in this world and.

15
00:01:13,599 --> 00:01:16,519
Speaker 1: In the next. If I cannot have you alive, No,

16
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,599
what shall you'll s forgive me for what I do?

17
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:28,599
Don't yours too? Later? What not you uld God have?

18
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: Neither faith will ever forgive, Oh w.

19
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,959
Speaker 1: Our Mystery Drama Never in this world We've written especially

20
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,120
for the Mystery Theater about Ian Martin and stars Alexander Scrby.

21
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:07,159
Speaker 5: According to legend, if a man.

22
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Walked withershins about a church, he would walk right into

23
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:15,240
the arms of the devil. The word withershins is of

24
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,439
Gaelic derivation and means to walk contrary to the path

25
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,000
of the sun or counterclockwise. This is the story of

26
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:27,800
an American of Scottish background who, on an idle fancy,

27
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,000
challenged the legend at the beginning of this century and

28
00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:36,159
stirred up old ghosts from two centuries before.

29
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:45,439
Speaker 6: He Now, al right, mister Bloge, you and now to handle.

30
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 7: The bag e I'll take care of that, miss cambl.

31
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 6: Now take my aunt David his step down.

32
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:53,439
Speaker 1: Jack, don't be foolish, Lucy, I can manage by myself

33
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,240
after the thieves.

34
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: You've been through right at depth door.

35
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,439
Speaker 1: I only had the influenza, and that was months ago.

36
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 6: By what amount to do? A nervous breakdown?

37
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:03,319
Speaker 3: That's why we're up here again.

38
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:08,039
Speaker 1: Doctor Chambers is an old fusspot of nervous breakdown, just

39
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:13,039
plain debilitation, dehydration, cause, no matters, no matter. I'm I'm

40
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:17,039
grateful to him. Just the same. Oh, smell that good

41
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:18,080
New Hampshire air.

42
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,759
Speaker 6: Never mind smelling, it's real.

43
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: It's chilly as always. You get right in the.

44
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Good time and good times. First of all, a little walk,

45
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,840
I think I'll uh stroll on down. See how Ephraim

46
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:28,879
weathered last winter.

47
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: But that steps nearly a mile's walk.

48
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,759
Speaker 1: Ooh, just a stroll. Now I'm back in the country.

49
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:37,280
It's good to stretch my legs after being pent up

50
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:38,520
these last years in the city.

51
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,439
Speaker 6: You walk slowly here and be sure to be back

52
00:03:41,479 --> 00:03:42,439
here for dinner on time.

53
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: You know I don't like to be kept waiting. Yes, dear,

54
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:52,439
I know, M married twenty four years to a good woman. Oh,

55
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,719
no doubt about Lucy being that if he reminds me

56
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,719
of it often enough. A placid on the eventful life,

57
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,800
successful business, one child, the delight of my life, the

58
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:09,360
rest of it floating along in a rut like an

59
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,000
autumn leaf on the muddy waters and a wheel track.

60
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:19,279
Fifty ish, baddish and feeblish. After my first brush with death, Yes,

61
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,959
I found I didn't have to be told to walk slowly.

62
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,879
I had to on my way to see my old friend,

Speaker 1: Uh, not much to tell A long bout with influenza.

00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:16,439

80
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: It looks just the ticket. I but tell me about

81
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:26,720
your in this sea influenza epidemic this year, the good

82
00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:30,639
Lord knows, has been widespread and very virulent enough in

83
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,560
my case like to have carried me off. But for

84
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,000
some some last moment's strength, I gathered somewhere and so

85
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,000
got my reprieve or tell me when?

86
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 7: When was its onset?

87
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,519
Speaker 1: The day afternoon Year's good heavens, and it's lasted all

88
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,800
the way now into August.

89
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 6: Uh.

90
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,399
Speaker 1: The term itself was brought under control months ago and

91
00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:59,360
finally washed from my system with a curious aftermath, A

92
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,079
kind of disease it or if you want, on the

93
00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:08,800
ease of the mind, afflicted me. The medical term of choice,

94
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,839
I suppose would be your nervous breakdown. Well, my good friend,

95
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:17,959
I'm glad youurreton. We must shake these shadows from the

96
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,800
corner of your soul. If they still persist. I put

97
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,319
as good a face on it as I can. But yes,

98
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:32,279
even they do persist. But something even more than that, something,

99
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:39,199
some inner voice called me back here ey for what

100
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,040
I don't know. Sh Shall I tell you what haunts

101
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:47,680
and tortures me? And why I was so glad that

102
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,639
Lizabeth was not to come, Because I don't know whether

103
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,040
it is for good or evil. I only know it

104
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:55,759
must be.

105
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,959
Speaker 7: Rememberising, Oh, unto them that call evil.

106
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Good and golods evil. Not that that That's not what

107
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,519
I said, not in so many words. But look deep

108
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,439
in your heart, David, and ask yourself if somewhere, somehow

109
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:19,959
the thought is not there. Walking back from the Reverend

110
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,199
Beans on that early August afternoon, I got long and

111
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,720
deeply trying to find, with his suggested key some door

112
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,000
to unlock my long depression. But neither then or und

113
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,800
succeeding walks longer and longer as I grew stronger, could

114
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,040
I find an answer to the strange call which tugged

115
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,399
at me, but gave me no intimation which way to

116
00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:45,959
follow and find the answer.

117
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,279
Speaker 3: But where do you go on these long rambles of yours?

118
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,199
Speaker 1: Oh? No, very In particular, I'd just like to walk,

119
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,920
to listen to the drows of the bees, feel the

120
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:57,759
wind in my face.

121
00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:00,199
Speaker 3: The wind, Oh, yes, the first thing we know.

122
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 6: You'll be back with the influenza again if you don't

123
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,959
stop exposing yourself to the chill.

124
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,079
Speaker 1: I doubt it that's past.

125
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 6: You're still determined to go off on this job today?

126
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: Yes, now I feel strong enough. I've always wanted to

127
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:14,160
go back up to the Devil's Glen.

128
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 6: Uh.

129
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:18,839
Speaker 1: So many happy times there with Elizabeth when she was

130
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:19,360
a child.

131
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 6: Well, you have your lunch all packed up at Martha

132
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:23,560
and ate for you.

133
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:24,759
Speaker 1: Yes, Lucy, Now.

134
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,279
Speaker 3: Don't dilly dally till too late.

135
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 6: Martha says, a rheumatism is acting up, and that means

136
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:30,560
a thunderstorm is on the way.

137
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: It was a glorious Sunday afternoon, and after lunching at

138
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,399
the Devil's Glen and basking a while in happy old memories,

139
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:47,720
I was tempted to walk just a little farther up

140
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:52,720
the trail. I'd never taken before. I followed the stream

141
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:55,679
a little, and then the trail bent into the woods.

142
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,200
All of a sudden I broke from the tree these

143
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,000
into a clearing, in the center of which stood the

144
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,720
ruins of an old church and a weed covered graveyard

145
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:12,360
beside it. After pottering around, greeting some of the weathered headstones,

146
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,519
the cursed whim struck me. I had not been to

147
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,480
church that morning, and on an impulse, as if obeying

148
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,960
some order from beyond imagining, before heading for home, I

149
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:31,320
was driven to circle the church twice with the shims,

150
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,159
perhaps recalling some ancient dare as a boy that I'd

151
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:42,080
refused to take because of legend. No danger before me,

152
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,600
except that I was suddenly swept by a wave of exhaustion.

153
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:52,759
With a sigh, I sat on a little bench, stretching

154
00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:57,080
out my legs. I found that my feet were resting

155
00:09:57,159 --> 00:09:59,960
on the edge of a flat tombstone I could bear.

156
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:06,960
They make out the legend Josse Ribero, these bones lie

157
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:12,519
here in an alien land, the life struck down by

158
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:17,440
mine own hand. With heavy lided eyes, I tried to

159
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,720
trace the date etched in Roman numerals, but a great

160
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,200
crack across the stone obscured some of the characters, and besides,

161
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:31,000
by that time I I found myself asleep.

162
00:10:34,919 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 4: Dear Hoose, I cannot never.

163
00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: You. You must you love me.

164
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 4: I love you, but we we are a different faith, the.

165
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: Devil with faith in church. I will still make you mind.

166
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,360
You never can never in this world than in the next.

167
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,480
If I cannot have you alive, no one shall your

168
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,279
support to give me for what I do Now. Oh yo,

169
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:07,279
it was too late.

170
00:11:08,919 --> 00:11:10,639
Speaker 6: It's not you.

171
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,399
Speaker 1: That God see the face will ever forgive no my

172
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:26,200
h r. I was literally galvanized awake by a pulse

173
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,200
of light from which must have hit the tree. It

174
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,519
was dark, and the thunder continued to grumble menacingly. So

175
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,360
with what wit were left to me, I flit the

176
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:37,600
dream of the storm and ran pell mell for home.

177
00:11:47,759 --> 00:11:50,519
Letting myself end, I could hear my wife hactor in

178
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,759
poor Martha in the kitchen about something. Gratefully, I stole upstairs,

179
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,279
leaving my dripping great coat. I shut my bed door

180
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,519
behind me, locking it with some strange reflex. Found a

181
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:09,759
match not too wet to strike, and fumbled with cold

182
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,399
fingers to light the lamp. I trimmed the wick and

183
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,399
put the chimney back. Then I turned up the lamp

184
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:23,000
and checked my pocket watch. Still time for dinner. At

185
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,559
least Lucy could not complain of that. Now, holding the lamp,

186
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:34,080
I crossed to the mirror, and God in Heaven, who

187
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:39,840
was that that dark, fierce, lean and saturnine face of

188
00:12:40,279 --> 00:12:44,240
a stranger whose eyes burned into mine as he looked

189
00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:45,480
back at me from the mirror.

190
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 6: Oh?

191
00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 7: Indeed, dark lean, certainly not the reflection.

192
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:02,639
Speaker 1: Of red hair melancholy. But gentle David Campbell, Who else, then? Why?

193
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:09,000
And how can a childish superstition about rounding a church

194
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,320
the wrong way really raise up the devil? And return

195
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:22,600
shortly with that too? As fascinated as the moth might

196
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,559
be held by the lamp he holds in his hand,

197
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,799
David Campbell is transfixed by the reflection in the mirror,

198
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,480
the reflection of a man he has never seen before,

199
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,759
who differs from him in every respect. Dark brown eyes

200
00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:42,559
for blue, a great beaked nose for his straight one,

201
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,360
dark curling hair instead of the familiar soft, straight, reddish

202
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,159
hair already receding from his brow. Other things too, He

203
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:54,879
is conscious of that his clothes hang loosely on him,

204
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:58,559
too short, in the sleeve lengths and the elastic bands,

205
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,039
and his trousers stretch to the making to accommodate his

206
00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:07,000
extra height. But far more than the physical shock is

207
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:13,759
the profound terror of finding himself someone other than himself.

208
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,720
David is David? Are you in there? David? Why have

209
00:14:19,799 --> 00:14:25,799
you locked this door? Why? Indeed, Lucy only thank god

210
00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:32,879
I did time, precious time to figure out why? What

211
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,639
am I going to say? What can I say?

212
00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: Really, David, this is too mortifying.

213
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: Help you.

214
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:38,519
Speaker 3: You must be in there.

215
00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: Why don't you answer I I'm I'm not feeling myself

216
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:42,399
right now.

217
00:14:42,679 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: Let me in. I wanna help.

218
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: The only way you can help is, oh, alright, I

219
00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:49,559
I I'll let you in if if you do something

220
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,559
for me first. Well, now, please don't think I'm being unreasonable.

221
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,960
It's terribly important. I'm pushing a key under the door.

222
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,320
You see it, Yes, it's the key to the old

223
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,480
road top ask in my study. I want you to

224
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,720
open it on the left hand side, the first row

225
00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:08,000
of pigeonholes. Pull them to you and they'll slide out.

226
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,639
There's a secret compartment there. Inside it is a letter.

227
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,799
Get the letter and bring it back to me here.

228
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,200
But I never please do as I ask. There's no

229
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,559
other way, no other way for what When you bring

230
00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:24,039
it back you'll see or maybe by some miracle, or

231
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,840
this won't be necessary. It took some more urging, but

232
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,639
finally Lucy left on her errand for myself. I returned,

233
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:40,679
hoping against hope, to the mirror, no question, to outward

234
00:15:40,799 --> 00:15:45,799
view and sound. I was a different man, But that

235
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,519
different man was only a prison which still held David Campbell.

236
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,440
The inner man was still the same. But how to

237
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,159
convince anyone else there? Oh, David, David, I'm bes Yes,

238
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:04,480
you see? Did you find it? There's no stamp? Instead

239
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,559
two cupid hearts drawn by penn with an arrow piercing

240
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:09,559
them together. Right.

241
00:16:09,879 --> 00:16:11,799
Speaker 3: Yes, When I was young and bulish, I used to

242
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:12,039
do that.

243
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: One heart has the letters LCM in it, the other DMC.

244
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,519
Of course, but David is aird. We both, but nobody

245
00:16:20,559 --> 00:16:25,240
else knows about this letter. I hope so it begins. David.

246
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,240
I know you want to, but I'm tired of waiting

247
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:32,440
for you to ask me. If we are to be

248
00:16:32,559 --> 00:16:35,960
in love, why shouldn't we be married? If you won't

249
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:37,440
ask me, I'll ask you.

250
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 6: I see it hasnam I hear really, these family secret

251
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,039
shouldn't be spoken out loud.

252
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: We have to be otherwise you wouldn't be able to do.

253
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:46,759
Speaker 6: It to David, I can't stand this nonsense anymore. Open

254
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,120
this door immediately, or I'll have to send for a doctor.

255
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: Very well, only only wait just a moment before you

256
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,159
come in. Oh, do stop it.

257
00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: Open the door.

258
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,839
Speaker 1: And then you see. Now what can happen?

259
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: Lamp, David, I can, I can scarcely see.

260
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,559
Speaker 1: That's quite delivery on my part. Come in and close

261
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,079
the door up.

262
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 3: Oh very well, l.

263
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 6: Now would you mind telling me what all this thistle

264
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,319
fable is about? Key secret drawers, old letter?

265
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,799
Speaker 1: A matter of proof? I want to be sure you

266
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:28,079
know who I am?

267
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,039
Speaker 3: What's what's the matter with your voice? Have you got

268
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:33,839
cold in the rain?

269
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: I might say, I've caught a devil by the tail

270
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,319
or perhaps the other way around.

271
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,519
Speaker 6: I think i'd better get the doctor.

272
00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:48,079
Speaker 1: I think we'd better wait first till what for what

273
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,839
I'm about to show you? When I turn up the lamp.

274
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:56,319
Just remember that I am David as I turn up

275
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,480
the lamp and let you see.

276
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 5: Oh oh no, they've no no, no, who oh David?

277
00:18:05,079 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: What what can I say? I don't know. Whatever you

278
00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:12,759
feel would be best. Talk to me as honess clear

279
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:13,240
as you can.

280
00:18:15,519 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 3: For really, how can I Why not?

281
00:18:17,759 --> 00:18:24,599
Speaker 1: Because I because now that you face the actuality, you're

282
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,039
not sure, are you? You're not sure? It's me?

283
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,559
Speaker 3: Well, how can you blame me?

284
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean cold? Don't leave this room, stay where you are.

285
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 6: Don't you dare make a move toward me or I'll

286
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,920
scream the house down.

287
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 3: We're not alone, you know.

288
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 6: Your brother George and his friends are all downstairs, and

289
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:41,799
mister Blooded the.

290
00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:44,799
Speaker 1: Game people with Lucy. I don't blame you for being

291
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,160
scared and very brave at the same time. But the

292
00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:52,119
lies are not necessary and they're not lies. The house

293
00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:55,920
is full. Besides us, there is only poor old Martha.

294
00:18:57,559 --> 00:19:01,200
My brother George has been dead for five years. Blodget

295
00:19:01,279 --> 00:19:03,839
runs a general goods store and lives well over half

296
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,799
a mile from us. And I am no stranger, no

297
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,039
matter how I look. I'm your husband of twenty four years,

298
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,799
twenty five come this November twenty third, No matter how

299
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,960
I look. Oh, what are we gonna?

300
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 7: What are we going to sit out?

301
00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: Darling? Don't die of me. Some way we'll find a

302
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:27,440
way to straighten things out. I'm not worried about you.

303
00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:30,759
Somehow you brought this on yourself.

304
00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:35,319
Speaker 3: I mean, what are we going to do, Lizabeth and Knight?

305
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:38,559
Speaker 1: What what on earth can we say to people?

306
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 3: How can we live to sound?

307
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: I think there are more serious problems here to be considered. First.

308
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: I'm not capable of solving them.

309
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,599
Speaker 6: You need a doctor of oh or put perhaps a minister.

310
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:54,240
I'm going to make up a spare room where you

311
00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:57,559
can sleep tonight, whoever or whatever you are. Then I'll

312
00:19:57,559 --> 00:20:01,160
bring your dinner up to you, and tomorrow this thing. Tomorrow,

313
00:20:02,079 --> 00:20:04,559
I'm going to the Reverend Dean and tell him everything.

314
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:07,440
Maybe he can make heads or tails of it.

315
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: I can't.

316
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:17,559
Speaker 1: Lucy spoke about you suffering some sort of change that

317
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:24,720
oh oh, I I bless my soul. Yes, yes, yes,

318
00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:28,359
indeed you do find me changed without a doubt. I'm

319
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,000
rather sorry. I've got to bring my spectacles for once.

320
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,960
Do you recognize me by any chance?

321
00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 7: Uh?

322
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,559
Speaker 1: Not? While I wear these? I think I should remove

323
00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:43,559
them and the shock will be less profound. David, and

324
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,319
you you do believe I am David, I am a

325
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,400
man of faith. But my looks, my boys, shock, I admit,

326
00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:56,680
and seeing all too clearly, Yes, David, I I accept

327
00:20:56,759 --> 00:20:59,680
you for who you are. But how can you because

328
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,039
you as me to tell me how have you suffered

329
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:09,200
this change? I could feel the sting of tears behind

330
00:21:09,279 --> 00:21:12,480
my stranger's eyes at the simple kindness of this good

331
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:17,119
man's face and his friendly trust. I told him what

332
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,079
little I could at my walk that day, of my

333
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,720
discovering the ruined church, of my sudden weirdiness, my sitting

334
00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:27,559
by the grave of the man named cors ra Berro,

335
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,279
my falling asleep, and the waking to the lightning striking

336
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,920
the tree, and all the while I told him, the

337
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:40,960
hope in my heart was sinking slowly as I watched

338
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,400
the expression on that open face, too ingenuous to hide

339
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:51,279
any emotion or thought or say the barrow. Yes, never

340
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,160
heard of him, rauh, any such family here. You don't

341
00:21:55,279 --> 00:21:58,880
believe me? After all? Did I say that? You didn't

342
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:04,440
have to? I believe the transformation. I believe that, no

343
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:09,319
matter how you look or sound, you are, my dear friend,

344
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:15,440
David Campbell. Ah other things are something else? Again? What

345
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,119
other things?

346
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,559
Speaker 7: I've lived here all my life in Camplworth, Man, and boy,

347
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,640
I know this country like the back of my hand.

348
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,599
Speaker 1: That no doubt. No one knows it, Betsy from me,

349
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:26,680
but just.

350
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:28,559
Speaker 9: J J.

351
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:31,079
Speaker 1: Just what are you getting at the church ruined or

352
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,759
otherwise the clearing of the forest the graveyard a man

353
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,559
named Jose Ribero. I tell you this solemnly, since I

354
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:46,079
know every tree and trace of all that area. David,

355
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:55,519
my old friend, there's simplease, no such place. No but

356
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,279
any protestation of mind swaying from that stand, the must

357
00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:04,279
admit he had shaken me. There was no recourse. I

358
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:09,880
must return there and see for myself. Easier decided than accomplished.

359
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,119
These days, Lucy watched me like a hawk, and of

360
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,400
course I dared not show myself in front of Martha,

361
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,079
to whom I would be an unexplained stranger in the house.

362
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,279
But finally the day came.

363
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 6: David, I it's a matter. You see nothing. It's just

364
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:31,680
so so difficult to call you by name. When looking

365
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,000
at you, I cannot recognize the man I'm married.

366
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,279
Speaker 1: And yet what.

367
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 3: Come to the light A moment. Yes, I do believe.

368
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 6: I think perhaps you're starting to change back.

369
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: Oh, don't hope too much.

370
00:23:48,839 --> 00:23:54,079
Speaker 6: I suppose it's just an illusion that I'm growing used to. No, no, no,

371
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,319
I I will never get used to it. Now I

372
00:23:57,319 --> 00:23:58,519
I have to go marketing.

373
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:00,279
Speaker 3: Don't leave the room. Martha is an house.

374
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,799
Speaker 1: Just don't lock me in. I can't stand that. Give

375
00:24:02,839 --> 00:24:03,240
me the key.

376
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 3: Promise you won't do anything foolish.

377
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,279
Speaker 1: Shat I can promise with all my heart. And as

378
00:24:10,319 --> 00:24:12,079
soon as I saw if I was blood at drive

379
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,559
us the arf, I stole down the stairs, past Martha,

380
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:20,640
busy in the kitchen, and fled down the street. By

381
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,319
the time I reached the Devil's Glen it was late afternoon,

382
00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:26,839
a hazy day, with the sun trying to burn through

383
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,839
a low cloud cover. I hastened up the path, I remembered,

384
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:37,920
holding my breath, and suddenly there I was back in

385
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,519
the familiar clearing the ruined church, the grave yard, the

386
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:45,680
shade tree part blackened by the lightning bolt that had

387
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,839
hit it, the tortured, broken tombstone twisted with a huge crack,

388
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:55,039
beside the seat I had sat in. Only one thing

389
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:00,920
was different. As I approached. On the seat, still as death,

390
00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:06,480
leaning on a stick, as though waiting, was the figure

391
00:25:06,559 --> 00:25:12,039
of a woman whose poles suggested incredible age, but at

392
00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:17,279
one and the same moment, a timeless beauty. Her head

393
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,839
was shrouded in a veil, so this was only an impression.

394
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:26,359
As I approached her, A am I intruding, of course not.

395
00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:30,440
I hope you will forget me. But I've been ill

396
00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:33,759
and I I I would like to sit down. May

397
00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:35,200
I join? You need to to.

398
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 4: Ask fit by darling, by me. It is so long

399
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,319
that I've waited for you. But I knew that somehow,

400
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,759
at the last you would come back.

401
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: Fantasy or reality, that actual meeting in an actual place,

402
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,160
or some strange fixation of the mind. And if so,

403
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:13,039
on whose part, David or the woman who turns casting

404
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,119
the veil aside A face that is at once as

405
00:26:16,279 --> 00:26:20,359
lovely as it is ancient, A woman who with eyes

406
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,880
half shut, might appear to the beholder, as she does

407
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,359
to David, the loveliest and most desirable thing in the world.

408
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:41,640
I'll return shortly with that. Three the sun suddenly drop

409
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,599
behind the horizon, and in the half light of twilight,

410
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,640
the age is washed away from the woman's face. Her

411
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,160
gray eyes fastened on David are wide and shining with love.

412
00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:58,200
But to him, lovely as it is, it is a

413
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,440
stranger's face. His memory, as he will, he cannot remember

414
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,880
ever having seen it. Before, although the voice stirs some

415
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:11,319
viagrant chord of memory. You know me?

416
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,279
Speaker 4: How can you ask such a question?

417
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: Hoose, My name is not Jse, not yet perhaps, but

418
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:21,240
it will be.

419
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 7: You.

420
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: You think I look like someone you once knew.

421
00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 4: I know you do, but look are unimportant?

422
00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:33,559
Speaker 1: I know you are? You called me Jose the man

423
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,200
you think I am? Do you mean Josse Ribero?

424
00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 4: I mean Hose Ribero, man.

425
00:27:42,839 --> 00:27:45,519
Speaker 1: Who's buried in this grave, who says he took his

426
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,839
life with his own hand.

427
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 4: Who took his life with his own hand, But who

428
00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:55,720
is no longer in that grave? Where is he that

429
00:27:56,599 --> 00:27:58,960
sitting beside me on this bench?

430
00:27:59,720 --> 00:27:59,759
Speaker 1: Me?

431
00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 4: It's the living image, but.

432
00:28:01,799 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: Only an image, not the man, the being himself. Not yet.

433
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:09,559
It takes time. No, you don't understand. I'm not the

434
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,920
way I look on someone else. My name is David Campbell.

435
00:28:13,319 --> 00:28:14,799
I don't look this way at all.

436
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:19,279
Speaker 4: If you don't want to look yourself, that can happen

437
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:27,759
too in time. Ah, it all takes time. But the

438
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,319
moon is not hit at the full and I cannot

439
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:31,960
stay any longer.

440
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: No wa, wait, wait, there are so many questions I

441
00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:35,680
need to ask you.

442
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 4: You mean David Campbell is the one who wants to

443
00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:40,359
ask the question.

444
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: Of course, that's who I am, this other this course

445
00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:47,359
revert I I I can't read the day on his tombstone,

446
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,519
but he must have died a long time ago.

447
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 4: Long and not so long, two hundred years to be exact.

448
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,319
Speaker 1: And he looked like me, at me as I am.

449
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: Now you could be one and the same.

450
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: How can you be so sure? Because we loved, because

451
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:18,599
I should have been his wife. But that means that you.

452
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 4: You have to br I must go now it's almost dark.

453
00:29:25,079 --> 00:29:28,319
I can tell you more if you wish, as much

454
00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:28,839
as you can.

455
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:30,519
Speaker 6: The top rand.

456
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 4: Come to Tea Thursday, but not the four twilight part

457
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,000
the church. Take the path to the left, down to

458
00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:43,200
the waterfall. It's the second house, white clock that you

459
00:29:43,319 --> 00:29:49,240
come in, almost underneath the waterfall itself.

460
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, I I don't even know your name.

461
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 4: I can't you to remember all.

462
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 9: Pruden?

463
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 4: Remember Pruden, Penny Pecker.

464
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 9: Killed Masca, Prudence, Prudence.

465
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,319
Speaker 1: I was suddenly conscious that the night was pitch black.

466
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:27,920
Flecks of light floated behind my eyes, as they might

467
00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:32,519
when closing the lids after watching a shooting star. A

468
00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:36,400
certain idea crossed my mind, but in the dark. It

469
00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:40,279
wasn't feasible. Besides, I would be in enough battle there

470
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:43,279
with Lucy being late to dinner as it was. It

471
00:30:43,359 --> 00:30:47,000
could wait till Thursday. I was convinced I knew the

472
00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:51,799
answered anyway to that one question. The others I could

473
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:59,559
hardly wait to pose. I thought I had enough problems

474
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:02,920
on my head. Yes, I didn't reckon on the others

475
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,200
that were about to rise.

476
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: I just can't stand it any longer.

477
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:09,599
Speaker 6: David, if you are David, going on with this charade,

478
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,160
so I've made all the arrangement.

479
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,279
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, what charade? What do

480
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:13,720
you mean?

481
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 6: I can't make up any more lies or half truth

482
00:31:16,599 --> 00:31:20,279
or excuses about you. Martha can't understand why if you're ill,

483
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,039
she can't bring a tray up to you side blodge it.

484
00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:24,799
And the others in the village can't imagine if you

485
00:31:24,839 --> 00:31:25,279
don't need.

486
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 3: A doctor, why you stay cooped up.

487
00:31:27,079 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 6: Oh. I could go on and on, but I don't

488
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,200
intend to. I've spent the day packing us up. We're

489
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,000
going back to Boston, take you to doctor Chambers or

490
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:37,839
whoever he recommends, and get you the treatment you need.

491
00:31:38,079 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm not leaving here before the end of the week,

492
00:31:41,079 --> 00:31:43,440
you go to Boston and get a good look at

493
00:31:43,519 --> 00:31:47,000
the world you think is turned right side up, then

494
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,839
come back. I have a feeling that within the week

495
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,680
I'll know where the future lies, or if there is

496
00:31:55,799 --> 00:32:03,279
any at all for me. Oh, really reverent being you,

497
00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:06,079
You didn't have to have me over for meals all

498
00:32:06,119 --> 00:32:08,559
the time like this, and the idea was for your

499
00:32:08,599 --> 00:32:11,079
housekeeper to drop them off at my play Well she

500
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,559
did a couple of times, but it's easier this way

501
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,599
and provides me companionship. Besides, I had to see you

502
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,480
today in order to write a shock and piece of

503
00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:26,240
information I gave you. Ooh about what your ruined church

504
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,160
and graveyard?

505
00:32:27,319 --> 00:32:28,799
Speaker 8: H A.

506
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: I I've been searching through are church records, unfortunately very

507
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,119
scanty and full of gaps, But I find I was wrong.

508
00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:40,079
There was indeed a church, and I have no doubt

509
00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:43,519
a graveyard on or about just such a sight as

510
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:47,480
you mentioned. How I could ever have missed its ruins myself?

511
00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:50,640
I probably so overgrown you could never find them? Well, then,

512
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:56,440
how could you? Because I was intended to find them?

513
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,640
He why you if for no better reason than I

514
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:06,440
walked about the church with the Shians with the shins

515
00:33:06,599 --> 00:33:13,359
with this. Ah. Yeah, ancient Gaelicican who with a devil,

516
00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:17,960
he's a first compact. To begins, he first must chat us.

517
00:33:18,119 --> 00:33:23,480
H the churcher with a shin say anonymously, do you

518
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:30,400
uh believe in the devil? David? Do we believe in God?

519
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:35,720
If there is one, there has to be the other.

520
00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:40,079
I believe I've made an unwitting fact with the second.

521
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,480
Now now now even dranton that you can still be

522
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:49,279
saved if you were indeed the kind of reincarnation of

523
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,559
Senor reveal if I remember his names rightly?

524
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:53,039
Speaker 6: Do you to?

525
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 4: Then?

526
00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: More and more you are throwing off his influence and

527
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,319
retiring to yourself. O h Or, David, I did there

528
00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:04,000
The sun makes your hair seem full red again, and

529
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,759
you are getting back your own nice, comfortable roundly. Look.

530
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:11,920
So there's still hope for me, always has been. You

531
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,960
say there was such a church though, as I have described, Oh,

532
00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:18,800
dear me, Yes, Builton, established in sixteen ninety five by

533
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,519
one hire Um Pennypacker.

534
00:34:21,039 --> 00:34:23,119
Speaker 7: Pennypacker as a curious old.

535
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: Name, very common about these paths once still for that matter, h,

536
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:32,119
Now you're join me for dinner? No, he from good

537
00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:34,119
old friend. I think I will make out for myself

538
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:37,960
this evening. Will I see you later? I'm not sure.

539
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,360
I may decide to take a long, long sleep tonight.

540
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,320
If Lucy stew back in the morning.

541
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 7: Ah, then I'll be shotting along.

542
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:54,519
Speaker 1: If I have a feeling of something undone, Eh, have

543
00:34:54,639 --> 00:35:00,199
I forgotten anything? You've forgotten nothing, not even me who

544
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:08,079
little deserved to be remembered. Good Bye, old friend. This

545
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,800
was the Thursday, and for my own reasons, I must

546
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,920
be early. As soon as Ephraim was gone, I headed

547
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,360
for the Devil's Glen and beyond. I went first straight

548
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,400
to the graveyard in the glare of this sinking afternoon sun.

549
00:35:25,079 --> 00:35:28,519
It took me some time to find it. A simple

550
00:35:28,599 --> 00:35:36,519
head start with a simple legend, Prudence Pennypacker, seventeen sixty

551
00:35:36,599 --> 00:35:42,360
five seventeen eighty nine. But she is in her grave,

552
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,679
And oh the difference to me. That quotation from Wordsworth

553
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,320
shocks me beyond belief, for the subject of his lament

554
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,480
over a lost love was for a girl named not

555
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:01,760
Prudence but Lucy. From the grave, with a sense of urgency,

556
00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:04,400
I found my way down the path to the house

557
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,760
beneath the water poor and to the girls who had

558
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,760
been buried two hundred years ago. And to the end

559
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,639
of it all, I hoped at last you are late.

560
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,079
Speaker 4: Things have come up.

561
00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:17,679
Speaker 3: There won't be time for.

562
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: Teas not too late for some explanations.

563
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,199
Speaker 4: Ugh, that depends on what you consider an explanation.

564
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: Who was or is Prudence Pennypacker and Josse Robo? What

565
00:36:29,559 --> 00:36:32,079
were they to each other? And where do we fit

566
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:32,880
in that?

567
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:33,599
Speaker 6: That?

568
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 3: That's came quite a lot.

569
00:36:35,039 --> 00:36:37,639
Speaker 1: No, not in my mind. As far as I can discover,

570
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,159
both you and jose have been buried for two hundred years.

571
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,039
I'm still alive, even if I'm locked like a hermit

572
00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:49,039
crab in another man's shell. Where do I go from here?

573
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,320
Or you? Or else or all of us?

574
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 4: I can answer some question. Hoossey? What a very romantic

575
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:04,159
Portuguese who fled the dictator king, who was sawting the

576
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:09,159
nobility with his knowledge of languages and education. He became

577
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,760
my father's secretary.

578
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: Your father was the minister of the ruined Church of

579
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:13,639
the Hill.

580
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,559
Speaker 4: Yes, whosey fell in love with me and we wanted

581
00:37:18,639 --> 00:37:22,719
to be married, but we were a different faith.

582
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: And what the dream?

583
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,119
Speaker 9: What the dream?

584
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:30,679
Speaker 1: I first dreamt sitting on the bench by your lover's grave,

585
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,639
before the tree, and for all I know, I was

586
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:40,599
struck by lightning? Did did he really murder you and

587
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:41,599
kill himself?

588
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:46,159
Speaker 4: If I could not have him? I wanted to die

589
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,400
for him, just as he wanted to die for me.

590
00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:54,800
Because of my father and my faith, I was buried

591
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,599
in concentrated ground. But because he took his own life

592
00:37:58,639 --> 00:38:02,760
and was in appostate whose was married in unhallow, out grounded,

593
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:09,039
he was forced to wander forever until he could find

594
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,000
some other body.

595
00:38:11,119 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: Not owned by the devil.

596
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,119
Speaker 4: I chose to share his exile, waiting for the moment

597
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:18,840
when he could.

598
00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: And when I risked an old superstition and went about

599
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,320
the church the wrong way, he entered into my life,

600
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:26,440
my body.

601
00:38:26,519 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 4: He took your body, not your soul that is still

602
00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:36,800
yours to command h but it so much to hold

603
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:42,400
on to. Would you not rather come with me that

604
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:47,679
love and forever to love and be loved, no matter

605
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:48,559
who you are.

606
00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:53,599
Speaker 1: Or what your name is. I want to, and I don't.

607
00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:57,159
I'm afraid. Maybe I can still find my way back

608
00:38:57,199 --> 00:38:59,519
to what I was. They'll go ahead.

609
00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 4: God, Perhaps you can, if that's really what you want.

610
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,599
But just remember you can have it for only a

611
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:16,920
brief moment with me, It could be all eternity.

612
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:23,559
Speaker 1: David.

613
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 3: Oh God, I've been so worried.

614
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: Where have you been, to the edge of beyond?

615
00:39:29,199 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 6: What does that mean?

616
00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:35,599
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter? Oh what brought you home so soon?

617
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 3: This books?

618
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 6: She was so worried about you, And I'm so glad

619
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:41,119
now I came.

620
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:42,079
Speaker 1: Are you?

621
00:39:42,639 --> 00:39:48,119
Speaker 6: Yes, I you look wonderful, your old soph again, aren't you?

622
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,079
Speaker 1: Oh? Yes, yes, Lucy.

623
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,159
Speaker 6: We must start building you up with right food and rest.

624
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 4: Right. Yes, Lucy, it's a positive miracle.

625
00:39:59,039 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 6: We you look exactly, but yourself again gets all over,

626
00:40:03,039 --> 00:40:08,679
isn't it? Whatever it was your David Candle again, Yes, Lucy,

627
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,960
just the way you always were.

628
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: Yes, Lucy. Oh, I could look in the mirror and

629
00:40:19,559 --> 00:40:23,480
there I was. Day by day my looks had returned

630
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:28,119
to exactly what I had been to begin with. What

631
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,199
I had neither the heart to tell Lucie or perhaps

632
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:38,199
even faith myself, was that as my physical form remade

633
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:46,280
itself outside, so inside my soul, my character, and my

634
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:51,440
personality name of what you want was bewitched out of itself.

635
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:57,599
The passion, the hanger, and violent emotion that ran within

636
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,679
me was almost more than I could re straight, and

637
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,239
I knew it would never be satisfied till I had

638
00:41:04,519 --> 00:41:10,119
and owned prudence. I would destroy everything for that, you see, Elizabeth,

639
00:41:11,119 --> 00:41:27,199
even myself. I was possessed, damned forever. When David Campbell

640
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,199
suddenly disappeared, it was the Reverend Ephram Bean who led

641
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,920
the search. A deep instinct told the old man David

642
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,440
had returned to the graveyard and the ruined church, but

643
00:41:39,159 --> 00:41:44,519
was never found. What was found was David's body, floating

644
00:41:44,639 --> 00:41:48,519
in a pool underneath a small waterfall, not far above

645
00:41:48,599 --> 00:41:52,039
the Devil's Glen. The body lies buried now in one

646
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:57,480
of Boston's most exclusive cemeteries. The body where the soul

647
00:41:57,679 --> 00:42:02,840
has gone? Is another question, and entirely I'll be back shortly.

648
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 8: Mm.

649
00:42:10,119 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: So let us end this tale, as the Reverend e

650
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,159
from Bean might, with a quotation from Shakespeare out of

651
00:42:17,199 --> 00:42:21,559
a play named The Tempist. Our rebels now are ended.

652
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,360
We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and

653
00:42:26,519 --> 00:42:31,239
our little life is rounded with a sleep. Our cast

654
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,480
included Alexander Scurby, Laurie march Ian Martin, and Marion Sellis.

655
00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:39,079
The entire production was under the direction of Hymon Brown

656
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:45,320
and now a preview of our next tale. Oh who

657
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:45,599
are you?

658
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,119
Speaker 4: I'm the girl who gambled and lost.

659
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: Stop talking in riddles.

660
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 6: I'm I'll fear judge, the town girl who wasn't good

661
00:42:53,119 --> 00:42:55,159
enough to marry Richard Dick.

662
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: What's the meaning of the meaning?

663
00:42:57,119 --> 00:42:59,039
Speaker 3: Is that I promised to pay you back?

664
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,800
