-..and drags out his helmet -from under the bed. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-But deep in the backyard lock-up -of his sleep a mean voice murmurs. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:17 | |
-You'll be sorry for this -in the morning. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |

-..and the farmers' almanac -hung above the settle... | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
-..and the sides of bacon -on the ceiling hooks... | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
-..and goes down -the cockleshelled paths... | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
-..of that applepie kitchen garden... | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
-..ducking under -the gippo's clothes pegs... | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
-..catching her apron -on the blackcurrant bushes... | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
-..past beanrows and onion-bed -and tomatoes ripening on the wall... | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
-..towards the old man playing -the harmonium in the orchard... | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
-..and sits down on the grass at his -side and shells the green peas... | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
-..that grow up through the lap -of her frock that brushes the dew. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |

-Harems. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
-Babies. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:47 | |

-..and from this small circle -of stones... | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
-..made not by druids -but by Mrs Beynon's Billy... | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |

-"..that constitute this small, -decaying watering-place... | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
-"..which may, indeed, be called -a 'backwater of life'... | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
-"..without dispresect to its natives -who possess, to this day... | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
-"..a salty individuality -of their own. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
-"The main street, Coronation Street, -consists, for the most part... | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
-"..of humble, two-storied houses -many of which attempt to achieve... | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
-"..some measure of gaiety... | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
-"..by prinking themselves out -in crude colours... | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
-"..but on the whole, -in a sad state of disrepair. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
-"The River Dewi is said to abound -in trout, but is much poached. | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |

-..combs back -his bard's white hair... | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
-..and hearing the sea break -and the gab of birds... | 0:29:02 | 0:29:06 | |
-..remembers his own verses -and tells them softly... | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |
-..to empty Coronation Street that -is rising and raising its blinds. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:15 | |
-"Dear Gwalia! I know there are -Towns lovelier than ours | 0:29:18 | 0:29:24 | |

-..with a big wet bucket -and a fish-frail full of stout... | 0:38:59 | 0:39:03 | |
-..and you looked at me -and you said... | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
-..'God has come home!' | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
-You said, and then -over the bucket you went... | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
-..sprawling and bawling... | 0:39:14 | 0:39:17 | |
-..and the floor -was all flagons and eels. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:25 | |
-And then... | 0:39:26 | 0:39:27 | |
-..you took off your trousers... | 0:39:28 | 0:39:30 | |
-..and you said... | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
-..'Does anybody want a fight!' | 0:39:33 | 0:39:35 | |
-Oh, you old baboon. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:39 | |
-Give me a kiss. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:41 | |

-..tenor... | 0:39:49 | 0:39:50 | |
-..and bass. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:58 | |
-I always sing 'Aberystwyth'. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
-And then you did a little dance -on the table. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
-I did? | 0:40:07 | 0:40:08 | |
-I did? - -Drop dead! | 0:40:08 | 0:40:09 | |
-And then what did I do? | 0:40:11 | 0:40:13 | |
-Then you cried like a baby... | 0:40:14 | 0:40:16 | |
-..and said -you were a poor drunk orphan... | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
-..with nowhere to go but the grave. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
-And what did I do next, my dear? | 0:40:22 | 0:40:24 | |
-Then you danced on the table -all over again... | 0:40:24 | 0:40:27 | |
-..and said you were King -Solomon Owen and I was your... | 0:40:27 | 0:40:31 | |
-..Mrs Sheba. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:33 | |
-And then? | 0:40:33 | 0:40:34 | |
-And then I got you into bed... | 0:40:37 | 0:40:39 | |
-..and you snored all night -like a brewery. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
-Up the street, -in the Sailors Arms... | 0:40:51 | 0:40:53 | |

-Nogood Boyo -goes out in the dinghy Zanzibar... | 0:41:42 | 0:41:46 | |
-..ships the oars, drifts slowly -in the dab-filled bay... | 0:41:46 | 0:41:52 | |
-..and, lying on his back -in the unbaked water... | 0:41:52 | 0:41:56 | |
-..among crabs' legs -and tangled lines... | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
-..looks up at the spring sky. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
-I don't know who's up there... | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |

-..and the ragged gabble -of the beargarden school... | 0:50:26 | 0:50:29 | |
-..as the women scratch and babble in -Mrs Organ Morgan's general shop... | 0:50:29 | 0:50:33 | |

-..by the squint of the Spring sun... | 0:53:05 | 0:53:07 | |
-..through the one sealed window -running with tears... | 0:53:07 | 0:53:11 | |
-..while the drugged, bedraggled hens -at the back door... | 0:53:11 | 0:53:14 | |
-..whimper and snivel -for the lickerish bog-black tea. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:18 | |

-..I love you -until Death do us part... | 0:53:42 | 0:53:45 | |
-..and then we shall be together -for ever and ever. | 0:53:46 | 0:53:51 | |
-A new parcel of ribbons -has come from Carmarthen today... | 0:53:55 | 0:53:59 | |
-..all the colours in the rainbow. | 0:53:59 | 0:54:01 | |
-I wish I could tie a ribbon in your -hair a white one but it cannot be. | 0:54:02 | 0:54:06 | |
-Polly Garter bought two garters with -roses but she never got stockings... | 0:54:07 | 0:54:12 | |
-..so what is the use I say. | 0:54:12 | 0:54:14 | |
-Mr Waldo tried to sell me -a woman's nightie outsize... | 0:54:15 | 0:54:19 | |
-..he said he found it... | 0:54:19 | 0:54:21 | |
-..and we know where. | 0:54:21 | 0:54:23 | |
-If this goes on -I shall be in the workhouse. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:26 | |
-My heart is in your bosom -and yours is in mine. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:30 | |
-God be with you always -Myfanwy Price... | 0:54:31 | 0:54:35 | |
-..and keep you lovely for me -in His Heavenly Mansion. | 0:54:35 | 0:54:38 | |
-I must stop now and remain, -Your Eternal, Mog Edwards. | 0:54:39 | 0:54:44 | |
-And then a little message -with a rubber stamp. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:48 | |
-Shop at Mog's! | 0:54:49 | 0:54:50 | |
-And Willy Nilly, rumbling, -jockeys out again. | 0:54:55 | 0:54:59 | |
-Herring gulls -heckling down to the harbour... | 0:55:09 | 0:55:12 | |
-..where the fishermen spit -and prop the morning up... | 0:55:12 | 0:55:16 | |
-..and eye the fishy sea smooth... | 0:55:16 | 0:55:20 | |
-..to the sea's end -as it lulls in blue. | 0:55:20 | 0:55:24 | |
-But with blue lazy eyes -the fishermen gaze... | 0:55:25 | 0:55:28 | |
-..at that milkmaid whispering water -with no nick or ripple... | 0:55:28 | 0:55:33 | |
-..as though it blew great guns -and serpents and typhooned the town. | 0:55:33 | 0:55:38 | |
-Too rough for fishing today. | 0:55:39 | 0:55:41 | |
-From one of the finger-bowls -a primrose grows. | 0:55:42 | 0:55:46 | |
-Cross my palm with silver. | 0:55:46 | 0:55:48 | |
-Out of our housekeeping money. | 0:55:49 | 0:55:51 | |
-Oh. | 0:55:56 | 0:55:57 | |
-What d'you see, lovie? | 0:56:02 | 0:56:04 | |
-Oh. | 0:56:04 | 0:56:05 | |
-I see a featherbed. -With three pillows on it. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:09 | |
-And a text above the bed. | 0:56:09 | 0:56:11 | |
-I can't read what it says, -there's great clouds blowing. | 0:56:11 | 0:56:15 | |
-Now they have blown away. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:17 | |
-God is Love, the text says. | 0:56:17 | 0:56:20 | |
-That's our bed. | 0:56:20 | 0:56:21 | |
-That's our bed. - -And now it's vanished. | 0:56:21 | 0:56:23 | |
-The sun's spinning like a top. | 0:56:23 | 0:56:25 | |
-Who's this coming out of the sun? | 0:56:26 | 0:56:28 | |
-It's a hairy little man -with big pink lips. | 0:56:28 | 0:56:31 | |
-He got a wall eye. | 0:56:32 | 0:56:33 | |
-He got a wall eye. - -It's Dai, it's Dai Bread! | 0:56:33 | 0:56:35 | |
-Ssh! The featherbed's floating back. | 0:56:35 | 0:56:38 | |
-The little man's -taking his boots off. | 0:56:38 | 0:56:41 | |
-He's climbing into bed. | 0:56:41 | 0:56:42 | |
-He's climbing into bed. - -Go on, go on. | 0:56:42 | 0:56:44 | |
-There's two women in bed. | 0:56:44 | 0:56:45 | |
-He looks at them both, -with his head cocked on one side. | 0:56:46 | 0:56:49 | |
-He's whistling through his teeth. | 0:56:49 | 0:56:51 | |
-Now he grips his little arms -round one of the women. | 0:56:52 | 0:56:56 | |
-Which one, which one? | 0:56:56 | 0:56:59 | |
-I can't see any more. | 0:57:00 | 0:57:02 | |
-There's great clouds blowing again. | 0:57:02 | 0:57:04 | |
-Ach, the mean old clouds! | 0:57:04 | 0:57:07 | |
-# I loved a man | 0:57:16 | 0:57:18 | |
-# Whose name was Tom | 0:57:20 | 0:57:22 | |
-# He was strong as a bear | 0:57:23 | 0:57:26 | |
-# And two yards long | 0:57:27 | 0:57:31 | |
-# I loved a man | 0:57:32 | 0:57:35 | |
-# Whose name was Dick | 0:57:36 | 0:57:38 | |
-# He was big as a barrel | 0:57:39 | 0:57:42 | |
-# And three feet thick | 0:57:43 | 0:57:47 | |
-# And I loved a man | 0:57:48 | 0:57:52 | |
-# Whose name was Harry | 0:57:53 | 0:57:56 | |
-# Six feet tall | 0:57:58 | 0:58:00 | |
-# And sweet as a cherry | 0:58:00 | 0:58:04 | |
-# But the one I loved best | 0:58:04 | 0:58:08 | |
-# Awake or asleep | 0:58:09 | 0:58:13 | |
-# Was little Willy Wee | 0:58:14 | 0:58:18 | |
-# And he's six feet deep # | 0:58:19 | 0:58:27 | |
-Praise the Lord! | 0:58:30 | 0:58:33 | |
-We are a musical nation. | 0:58:35 | 0:58:37 | |
-Oh, Mr Waldo! | 0:58:50 | 0:58:52 | |
-I dote on that Gossamer Beynon. | 0:58:53 | 0:58:56 | |
-She's a lady... | 0:58:57 | 0:58:59 | |
-..all over. | 0:58:59 | 0:59:01 | |
-No lady that I know is. | 0:59:02 | 0:59:07 | |
-And if only grandma'd die... | 0:59:07 | 0:59:10 | |
-..cross my heart I'd go down -on my knees Mr Waldo... | 0:59:10 | 0:59:14 | |
-..and I'd say... | 0:59:14 | 0:59:15 | |
-..Miss Gossamer... | 0:59:16 | 0:59:19 | |
-..I'd say... | 0:59:20 | 0:59:22 | |
-Gossamer Beynon -high-heels out of school. | 0:59:26 | 0:59:30 | |
-The sun hums down... | 0:59:31 | 0:59:32 | |
-..through the cotton flowers -of her dress... | 0:59:33 | 0:59:35 | |
-..into the bell of her heart... | 0:59:36 | 0:59:38 | |
-..and buzzes in the honey there -and couches and kisses... | 0:59:38 | 0:59:42 | |
-..lazy-loving and boozed, -in her red-berried breast. | 0:59:42 | 0:59:47 | |
-Eyes run from the trees -and windows of the street... | 0:59:49 | 0:59:52 | |
-..steaming 'Gossamer,' and strip her -to the nipples and the bees. | 0:59:53 | 0:59:59 | |
-She blazes naked -past the Sailors Arms. | 1:00:00 | 1:00:03 | |
-The only woman -on the Dai-Adamed earth. | 1:00:03 | 1:00:05 | |
-Sinbad Sailors -places on her thighs... | 1:00:06 | 1:00:09 | |
-..still dew-damp from the first -man-growing cockcrow garden... | 1:00:09 | 1:00:13 | |
-..his reverent goat-bearded hands. | 1:00:13 | 1:00:17 | |
-"I don't care if he is common." | 1:00:17 | 1:00:20 | |
-..she whispers to her salad-day, -deep self. | 1:00:20 | 1:00:22 | |
-I want to gobble him up. | 1:00:24 | 1:00:26 | |
-I don't care -if he does drop his aitches. | 1:00:27 | 1:00:29 | |
-She tells the stripped -and mother-of-the-world... | 1:00:29 | 1:00:33 | |
-..big-beamed and Eve-hipped -spring of her self. | 1:00:33 | 1:00:37 | |
-So long as he's all cucumber -and hooves. | 1:00:37 | 1:00:41 | |
-Oh, beautiful... | 1:00:43 | 1:00:47 | |
-..beautiful... | 1:00:47 | 1:00:48 | |
-..Gossamer B. | 1:00:48 | 1:00:51 | |
-I wish, I wish that you were for me. | 1:00:52 | 1:00:57 | |
-I wish you were not so... | 1:00:58 | 1:01:02 | |
-..educated. | 1:01:03 | 1:01:05 | |
-She feels his goatbeard tickle her -in the middle of the world... | 1:01:08 | 1:01:12 | |
-..like a tuft of wiry fire, and -she turns in a terror of delight... | 1:01:12 | 1:01:16 | |
-..away from his whips -and whiskery conflagration... | 1:01:16 | 1:01:19 | |
-..and sits down in the kitchen -to a plate heaped high. | 1:01:20 | 1:01:25 | |
-Persons with manners -do not read at table. | 1:01:38 | 1:01:42 | |
-Some persons -were brought up in pigsties. | 1:01:49 | 1:01:52 | |
-Pigs don't read at table, dear. | 1:01:54 | 1:01:58 | |
-Pigs can't read, my dear. | 1:01:59 | 1:02:02 | |
-I know one who can. | 1:02:06 | 1:02:08 | |
-Alone in the hissing laboratory -of his wishes... | 1:02:10 | 1:02:14 | |
-..Mr Pugh minces -among bad vats and jeroboams... | 1:02:14 | 1:02:18 | |
-..tiptoes through spinneys -of murdering herbs... | 1:02:19 | 1:02:22 | |
-..agony dancing in his crucibles... | 1:02:22 | 1:02:25 | |
-..and mixes especially -for Mrs Pugh... | 1:02:26 | 1:02:28 | |
-..a venomous porridge -unknown to toxicologists... | 1:02:29 | 1:02:32 | |
-..which will scald -and viper through her... | 1:02:33 | 1:02:37 | |
-..until her ears -fall off like figs... | 1:02:37 | 1:02:40 | |
-..her toes grow big and black -as balloons... | 1:02:40 | 1:02:43 | |
-..and steam -comes screaming out of her navel. | 1:02:43 | 1:02:46 | |
-You know best, dear... | 1:02:47 | 1:02:48 | |
-What's that book by your trough, -Mr Pugh? | 1:02:53 | 1:02:56 | |
-It's a theological work, my dear. | 1:02:56 | 1:02:58 | |
-Lives of the Great... | 1:03:00 | 1:03:01 | |
-..Saints. | 1:03:04 | 1:03:05 | |
-I saw you talking to a saint -this morning. | 1:03:09 | 1:03:12 | |
-Saint Polly Garter. | 1:03:12 | 1:03:15 | |
-She was martyred again last night. | 1:03:15 | 1:03:18 | |
-Mrs Organ Morgan -saw her with Mr Waldo. | 1:03:18 | 1:03:22 | |
-But you don't go nesting in long -combinations I said to myself... | 1:03:27 | 1:03:31 | |
-..like Mr Waldo was wearing... | 1:03:31 | 1:03:33 | |
-..and your dress nearly over -your head like Polly Garter's. | 1:03:33 | 1:03:37 | |
-Oh, they didn't fool me. | 1:03:38 | 1:03:40 | |
-It isn't the right kind of hobby at -all for a woman that can't say No... | 1:03:43 | 1:03:47 | |
-..even to midgets. | 1:03:47 | 1:03:49 | |
-Remember Bob Spit? | 1:03:49 | 1:03:50 | |
-He wasn't any bigger than a baby... | 1:03:50 | 1:03:52 | |
-..and he gave her two. | 1:03:53 | 1:03:54 | |
-But they're two nice boys, -I will say that... | 1:03:56 | 1:04:01 | |
-..Fred Spit and Arthur. | 1:04:01 | 1:04:03 | |
-Sometimes... | 1:04:07 | 1:04:08 | |
-..I like Fred best... | 1:04:08 | 1:04:10 | |
-..and sometimes I like Arthur. | 1:04:11 | 1:04:13 | |
-Who do you like best, Organ? | 1:04:16 | 1:04:18 | |
-Oh, Bach... | 1:04:18 | 1:04:20 | |
-..without any doubt. | 1:04:20 | 1:04:22 | |
-Bach every time for me. | 1:04:22 | 1:04:24 | |
-Organ Morgan... | 1:04:26 | 1:04:28 | |
-..you haven't been listening -to a word I said. | 1:04:28 | 1:04:31 | |
-It's organ, organ -all the time with you. | 1:04:31 | 1:04:35 | |
-And then... | 1:04:36 | 1:04:37 | |
-..Palestrina. | 1:04:41 | 1:04:42 | |
-Captain Cat, at his window -thrown wide to the sun... | 1:05:09 | 1:05:12 | |
-..and the clippered seas -he sailed long ago... | 1:05:13 | 1:05:16 | |
-..when his eyes -were blue and bright... | 1:05:16 | 1:05:18 | |
-..slumbers and voyages; -ear-ringed and rolling. | 1:05:18 | 1:05:22 | |
-I Love You Rosie Probert -tattooed on his belly... | 1:05:25 | 1:05:28 | |
-..he brawls with broken bottles... | 1:05:29 | 1:05:32 | |
-..in the fug and babel -of the dark dock bars... | 1:05:33 | 1:05:36 | |
-..roves with a herd -of short and good time cows... | 1:05:36 | 1:05:39 | |
-..in every naughty -port and twines and souses... | 1:05:40 | 1:05:42 | |
-..with the drowned -and blowzy-breasted dead. | 1:05:43 | 1:05:45 | |
-He weeps as he sleeps and sails. | 1:05:46 | 1:05:50 | |
-One voice of all he remembers most -dearly as his dream buckets down. | 1:05:51 | 1:05:55 | |
-Lazy early Rosie -with the flaxen thatch... | 1:05:58 | 1:06:02 | |
-..whom he shared with Tom-Fred the -donkeyman and many another seaman... | 1:06:02 | 1:06:08 | |
-..clearly and near to him -speaks from the bedroom of her dust. | 1:06:08 | 1:06:13 | |
-In that gulf and haven, -fleets by the dozen have anchored... | 1:06:14 | 1:06:18 | |
-..for the little heaven -of the night... | 1:06:19 | 1:06:21 | |
-..but she speaks -to Captain napping Cat alone. | 1:06:21 | 1:06:27 | |
-Mrs Probert... | 1:06:27 | 1:06:29 | |
-From Duck Lane, Jack. | 1:06:29 | 1:06:31 | |
-Quack twice... | 1:06:32 | 1:06:34 | |
-..and ask for Rosie. | 1:06:34 | 1:06:36 | |
-..is the one love of his sea-life -that was sardined with women. | 1:06:37 | 1:06:42 | |
-What seas did you see, -Tom Cat, Tom Cat... | 1:06:43 | 1:06:47 | |
-..in your sailoring days -long long ago? | 1:06:48 | 1:06:51 | |
-What sea beasts -were in the wavery green... | 1:06:51 | 1:06:56 | |
-..when you were my master? | 1:06:57 | 1:07:01 | |
-I'll tell you the truth. | 1:07:03 | 1:07:05 | |
-Seas barking like seals, -blue seas and green. | 1:07:05 | 1:07:10 | |
-Seas covered with eels -and mermen and whales. | 1:07:11 | 1:07:16 | |
-Knock twice, Jack, at the door -of my grave and ask for Rosie. | 1:07:18 | 1:07:25 | |
-Remember her. | 1:07:27 | 1:07:28 | |
-She is forgetting. | 1:07:29 | 1:07:30 | |
-The earth which filled her mouth -is vanishing from her. | 1:07:32 | 1:07:35 | |
-Remember me. | 1:07:37 | 1:07:38 | |
-I have forgotten you. | 1:07:39 | 1:07:42 | |
-I am going into the darkness -of the darkness for ever. | 1:07:43 | 1:07:47 | |
-I have forgotten -that I was ever born. | 1:07:49 | 1:07:52 | |
-Up the silences and echoes of the -passages of the eternal night... | 1:07:56 | 1:08:00 | |
-..and then she forgets him too. | 1:08:01 | 1:08:04 | |
-Boyo catches a whalebone corset. | 1:08:10 | 1:08:13 | |
-It is all he has caught all day. | 1:08:13 | 1:08:16 | |
-She's wearing her nightgown. | 1:08:20 | 1:08:22 | |
-Would you like this nice wet corset, -Mrs Dai Bread Two? | 1:08:22 | 1:08:25 | |
-No, I won't! | 1:08:26 | 1:08:27 | |
-And a bite of my little apple? | 1:08:28 | 1:08:30 | |
-He offers with no hope. | 1:08:30 | 1:08:32 | |
-I want to be good Boyo, -but nobody'll let me. | 1:08:33 | 1:08:37 | |
-He sighs as she writhes politely. | 1:08:38 | 1:08:41 | |
-The land fades, -the sea flocks silently away... | 1:08:42 | 1:08:45 | |
-..and through the warm white cloud -where he lies, silky, tingling... | 1:08:47 | 1:08:52 | |
-..uneasy Eastern music -undoes him in a Japanese minute. | 1:08:52 | 1:08:56 | |
-Now the town is dusk. | 1:09:03 | 1:09:05 | |
-Each cobble, donkey, goose -and gooseberry street... | 1:09:06 | 1:09:09 | |
-..is a thoroughfare of dusk... | 1:09:10 | 1:09:12 | |
-..and dusk and ceremonial dust -and night's first darkening snow... | 1:09:12 | 1:09:18 | |
-..the sleep of birds, drift under -and through the live dusk... | 1:09:18 | 1:09:23 | |
-..of this place of love. | 1:09:24 | 1:09:26 | |
-Llareggub is the capital of dusk. | 1:09:27 | 1:09:30 | |
-Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard who, -maddened by besoming... | 1:09:34 | 1:09:37 | |
-..swabbing and scrubbing, -the voice of the vacuum-cleaner... | 1:09:37 | 1:09:41 | |
-..and the fume of polish -ironically swallowed disinfectant... | 1:09:42 | 1:09:46 | |
-..fidgets in her rinsed sleep, wakes -in a dream and nudges in the ribs... | 1:09:46 | 1:09:51 | |
-..dead Mr Ogmore, dead Mr Pritchard, -ghostly on either side. | 1:09:51 | 1:09:55 | |
-Mr Ogmore! | 1:09:57 | 1:09:59 | |
-Mr Pritchard! | 1:09:59 | 1:10:01 | |
-It is time to inhale your balsam. | 1:10:03 | 1:10:05 | |
-Oh, Mrs Ogmore! | 1:10:07 | 1:10:08 | |
-Oh, Mrs Pritchard! | 1:10:09 | 1:10:11 | |
-Soon it will be time to get up. | 1:10:14 | 1:10:16 | |
-Tell me your tasks... | 1:10:17 | 1:10:18 | |
-..in order. | 1:10:20 | 1:10:21 | |
-I must put my pyjamas -in the drawer marked pyjamas. | 1:10:21 | 1:10:24 | |
-I must take my cold bath -which is good for me. | 1:10:24 | 1:10:27 | |
-I must wear my flannel band -to ward off sciatica. | 1:10:27 | 1:10:30 | |
-I must dress behind the curtain -and put on my apron. | 1:10:32 | 1:10:36 | |
-I must blow my nose. | 1:10:36 | 1:10:37 | |
-In the garden, if you please. | 1:10:38 | 1:10:40 | |
-In a piece of tissue-paper -which I afterwards burn. | 1:10:42 | 1:10:46 | |
