00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Recording by anecimoun Cloudy Jewel by Grace Livingston Hill, chapter

5
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. There had been a little friction between Alison

6
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and Leslie, a part the use of the car. Alison

7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 1>had always been most generous with it until his sister

8
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>took up this absurd intimacy with mortal Villers. It has

9
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 1>been rather understood between them that Leslie should use the

10
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 1>car afternoons when she wanted it, as Allison was busy

11
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 1>with basketball and other things. But several times Allison had

12
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>objected to his sister's taking her new friend out, and

13
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Leslie told him he was unfair. After a hitd discussion,

14
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>they had left the question still unsettled. In fact, it

15
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>did not seem that it could be settled, for Leslie

16
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 1>was of such a nature that great opposition only made

17
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 1>her more firm, and Julia Cloud advised her nephew to

18
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>say nothing more for her time, let Leslie find out

19
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>for herself the character of the girl she had made

20
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>her friend. It was really the only way she would

21
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>learn not to be carried away by flattery and high

22
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 1>sounding words. Allison, grumbling a little, assented, but in his

23
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>heart he still bold with rage and idea. That girl's

24
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 1>winding his sister around her little finger just for the

25
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>sake of using the car when she wanted it. It

26
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 1>was not perhaps all happening that for two or three

27
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 1>days Allison had left switchkey where his sister could not

28
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>find it, and the hot war of words ended in

29
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Leslie's quietly ordering a new switch key, so that such

30
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 1>a happening would be impossible in future, she would have

31
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>one of her own. A car had come that very

32
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>morning from the express office, notifying Leslie that there was

33
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.719
<v Speaker 1>a package there waiting for her, so when she started

34
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 1>out with Myrtle, she stopped and guarded. She thusted it

35
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>carelessly into the car, with a feeling of such faction

36
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>that now Allison could not hamper her movements any longer

37
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>by his carelessness. Which way shall we go? She asked,

38
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 1>as she always did when taking her friends out, and

39
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Myrtle named the favorite pike where they often drove out

40
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Upon smooth white road, they sped rejoicing in the clear

41
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>beauty of the day, and in the freedom with which

42
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>they flew through space. Mortle had chosen to sit in

43
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 1>the back seat and lulled happily among rugs and wraps,

44
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 1>keeping a keen eye out on the road ahead, and

45
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>shattering away like a magpie to Leslie, telling her what

46
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>a darling she was she pronounced it darling, and how

47
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 1>this ride was just one thing she needed to recuperate

48
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>from her violent study of the night before. Incident to

49
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 1>an examination that morning, Myrtle professed to be utterly overcome

50
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 1>and exhausted by the physical effort of writing for three

51
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>whole hours without a let up. If Leslie could have

52
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 1>seen her meek paper, through which a much shortured professor

53
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 1>was at that moment warily plodding, she would have been astonished.

54
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Leslie herself was keen and thorough in her class work,

55
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and had no slightest conception of what a lazy student

56
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>could avoid when she set herself to do so. Five

57
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 1>miles from home, two masculine figures came inside ahead, strolling

58
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>leisurely down the road. Anyone watching might have seen Myrtle

59
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>suddenly straightened up and cast a hasty glance at Leslie.

60
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 1>But Leslie was white cheeks and shining eyes, was forcing ahead,

61
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>regardless of stray strollers. At exactly the right moment, Myrtle

62
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>leaned forward and clutched Leslie's shoulder, excitedly, Oh, Leslie, that's

63
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 1>my cousin, Fred Higgs, and that must be his friend

64
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Bertram Laws. They're out for a hike. How lucky, stop

65
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a minute, please, I won't speak to my cousin. At

66
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 1>the same moment, the two young men turned with a

67
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 1>well chimed lifting of surprised hats. In response to Myrtle's

68
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>violent waving and shouting. Leslie, of course slowed down. She

69
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>could not carry a girl past her own cousin when

70
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 1>she asked to stop to speak to him. Besides, it

71
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>never occurred to her not to do so. Myrtle went

72
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 1>through the introductions. Gleavely, mister Laws, meet my friend, Missus Clouds,

73
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>my cousin Fred Higgs, Leslie, Pauline. Boys, isn't this great

74
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 1>that we should meet out for a hike. We'll give

75
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 1>you a lift. Which way are you going? Fred? You

76
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>can sit in front with Leslie. I want part back

77
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 1>here with me. Leslie caught her breath in a troubled exittancy.

78
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>This wasn't the kind of thing she had bargained for.

79
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>It was sort of thing that her aunt and brother

80
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 1>would object to most strenuously. Yet how could she object

81
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 1>when her guests had asked them? Of course, Mortle didn't

82
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.319
<v Speaker 1>realize that it was not quite the thing for them

83
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 1>to be off here in the country and chaperoned with

84
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 1>two strange young men, though of course they weren't strangers really,

85
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>both of them friends of Myrtles, and one her cousin.

86
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Mortle could not be expected to think how it would

87
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>seem to her. But young men were not waiting for

88
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Leslie's invitation. They seemed to feel that their company would

89
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>be ample compensation for any objections that might be had.

90
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.639
<v Speaker 1>The quarreled in with alacrity. The color flew into Leslie's cheeks.

91
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 1>In her heart, she said, they were altogether too fresh.

92
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Why I suppose we can give you a lift for

93
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:22.879
<v Speaker 1>a little way, said Leslie, trying to sound patronizing. How

94
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>far are we going? We turn off here pretty soon.

95
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's all right, said cousin Fred, easily any old

96
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>road suitors. So it's going in this direction. Want me

97
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to take the will? No, thank you, said, Leslie coldly.

98
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I always drive myself. My brother doesn't care for me

99
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to let other people use the car. Ah, that's all right.

100
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought you might be tired, and I'm a great driver.

101
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 1>People trust me, they won't trust any one else. That's right,

102
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 1>Leslie chimmed in myrtle. Fred can drive like a breeze.

103
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:07.199
<v Speaker 1>You are to see him. Leslie said nothing, but dropped

104
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>in the clutch and drove on. She was not prepossessed

105
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>in Fred Hicks's favor. She let him make all the

106
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>remarks and sat like a slim, straight, little offended goddess.

107
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.920
<v Speaker 1>But Fred Hicks was not disturbed in the least. He

108
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>started in telling a story about the trip he took

109
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 1>from Washington up to Harrisburg in an incredibly brief space

110
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>of time, and he laughed uproariously at all his own jokes.

111
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Leslie was a girl of violent likes and dislikes, and

112
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>she took one of them. Now. She fairly froze cousin Fred,

113
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>though he showed no outward sign of being aware of it.

114
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Here's a nice road off to the right, he indicated,

115
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:56.759
<v Speaker 1>reaching out a commanding hand to the will suddenly turn here.

116
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Leslie with set lips Borne past the suggested road at

117
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>ice speed. Please don't touch my will, was all she

118
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.519
<v Speaker 1>said in a hearty little voice. She was very angry. Indeed,

119
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>they were nearing an old mansion close now for the winter,

120
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 1>with a small artificial lake between the grounds and the highway.

121
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Leslie felt a passing wish that she might dump her

122
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 1>a desired cargo in the lake and fly away from them.

123
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you'll have to get out at next cross roads,

124
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>she said, with more dignity. I have to go home now. Why,

125
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:40.559
<v Speaker 1>Leslie cloud Eatn't any such thing broke in myrtle. You

126
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:42.840
<v Speaker 1>told me you could be out all quarter of six.

127
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.960
<v Speaker 1>It's only half past four. I thought you were a

128
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:51.879
<v Speaker 1>good sport. I've changed my mind, said Leslie coldly, bringing

129
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the car to a stand still. I'm going back right now.

130
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Do you and your friend want to get out here,

131
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 1>mister Hicks. Fred Higgs lowed back in the car and

132
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:07.039
<v Speaker 1>leered at Leslie. Why no. I can't say I'm particularly

133
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>anxious to get out, but I think i'd like to

134
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>change around a little. If you'll just step over here,

135
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll run the car for you, My dear, I don't

136
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 1>think myrtle is ready to go back yet, how about it,

137
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 1>mirt He turned and deliberately winked at Myrtle, who leaned

138
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.720
<v Speaker 1>over with a light laugh and patted Leslie on the shoulder.

139
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 1>There there, Leslie, don't get up in the air, she soothed.

140
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 1>I'll explain all about it. If you'll just sturn around

141
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and go up that road back there. It won't take

142
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.559
<v Speaker 1>you much longer, and we'll be back in plenty of time.

143
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 1>The fab is I had a little blend in the

144
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>back of my head when I came out this afternoon,

145
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and I want you to help me out. Now, be

146
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.759
<v Speaker 1>a good girl and let Fred run the car a

147
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.279
<v Speaker 1>little while. You won't do it any arm and your

148
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:01.440
<v Speaker 1>brother will never know a thing about it. Leslie's eyes

149
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>were flashing and her head was held aughtily, but she

150
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>kept her hands firmly on the wheel. Your friends will

151
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>have to get out, Myrtle, she said coldly. I can't

152
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>help you out in any scheme. I don't understand. You'll

153
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.720
<v Speaker 1>have to go to some one else for that kind

154
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 1>of help. Myrtle pouted. I must say, I don't think

155
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you're very nice, Leslie Cloud, speaking in that way before

156
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:31.559
<v Speaker 1>my friends. But of course you don't understand, I'll have

157
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.559
<v Speaker 1>to tell you. Bart laws and I are engaged and

158
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you're going to turn down the next state to get married.

159
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Bart has licen and minister, and it's all arranged nicely.

160
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.919
<v Speaker 1>It's aunt will be there for a chaperon. If you

161
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 1>behave yourself and do as we tell you, the old

162
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.399
<v Speaker 1>thing will go off quietly and no one will know

163
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 1>the difference. You and I will go back home before dark,

164
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and everything will be lovely. You see, dear, I've been

165
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 1>engaged all this time, only I can't tell you because

166
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 1>my gardens don't approve of my getting married until I'm

167
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.519
<v Speaker 1>through college. I didn't understand why I had so much

168
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to do with Rich Price, but he was just a

169
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.320
<v Speaker 1>goal between for Bart and me. Now do you understand

170
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 1>why I wanted you to go this afternoon? Morhal's voice

171
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>was very soft and insinuating. She had tears always near

172
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to surface for red Use. You never have been in love, Leslie.

173
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.159
<v Speaker 1>You don't know what it is to be separated from

174
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the one who is all the world to you. Come now, Leslie,

175
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.279
<v Speaker 1>I'll do anything in the world for you if you'll

176
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>only help me out now, and if I won't asked Leslie, calmly, deliberately,

177
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 1>as if she were really waiting the question. Well, if

178
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>you won't putting the person called Fred IgGs, why bart,

179
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 1>and I will just fix you up perfectly harmlessly in

180
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>the back seat there wherey can't do any damage. And

181
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.960
<v Speaker 1>he put his hand in his pocket and brought out

182
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the end of an ugly looking rope. And then we'll

183
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>take charge of this expedition and go on our way.

184
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>You can take it or leave it as you please.

185
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Shut up there, murd We haven't any more time to

186
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:20.360
<v Speaker 1>waste behind schedule now. Leslie's mouth shut in a pretty

187
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>little tight line, and her eyes got like two blue sparks,

188
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.960
<v Speaker 1>but her voice was cool and steady. Well I won't,

189
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>she said tensely, and with a sudden motion, she crept

190
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 1>switch key, and, springing to her feet, flung it far

191
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 1>out across the road, across a little scuttled canoe that

192
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.000
<v Speaker 1>lay at the bank, and plung into the water. Before

193
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the other occupants of the car could realize what she

194
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.039
<v Speaker 1>was doing. Fred Hicks saw just an instant too late,

195
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.559
<v Speaker 1>and sprang for her arm to stop it, then rose

196
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 1>in its seat with curses on its lips, watching the

197
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 1>exact location of the splash, and calling to his mate

198
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>to go out and fish for it. Leslie sank back

199
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>in her seat, tense and white, and both young men

200
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:12.039
<v Speaker 1>sprang out and rush to the shore of the little lake,

201
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:17.320
<v Speaker 1>leaving a stream of unspeakable language behind them. Myrtle began

202
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to berate a friend, You little fool, she said. You

203
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>think you've stop this, don't you. But you'll suffer for this.

204
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>If you make a slate, I'll see that you don't

205
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.919
<v Speaker 1>get back to your blessed home for a whole week,

206
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 1>and when you do, you won't have such a pretty

207
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 1>reputation to go on as you have now. It won't

208
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 1>do a bit of good either, for those two men

209
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>can find that switch key, or if they can't, Fred

210
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 1>knows how to start a car without one. If only,

211
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 1>I've made a lot of trouble for yourself, and that's

212
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>all the good it will do you. You thought you

213
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>were smart, but you're nothing but an ignorant little kid.

214
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 1>But ignorant little key was not listening. Trembling fingers, she

215
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 1>was pulling off strappings from a small package, and suddenly

216
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.759
<v Speaker 1>a warning weird cut short mirthless herring. She lured forward

217
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.639
<v Speaker 1>and tried to pull Leslie's hand away from the wheel.

218
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Bart come quick, She's got another Harry Boys. End of

219
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Chapter twenty one. Recording by Annety Monk from Portugal,
