0:01:12 > 0:01:15Every Christmas Eve has its ritual.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Those invited, make their way for the appointed time...
0:01:26 > 0:01:30..out of the darkness, while the master waits.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Montague Rhodes James,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45provost of King's -
0:01:45 > 0:01:51scholar, antiquary and writer of ghost stories.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Seaburgh, on the east coast -
0:02:01 > 0:02:04a long seafront and a street.
0:02:04 > 0:02:10Red cottages, church and distant Martello tower to the south.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I used to go there pretty regularly in the spring.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19I would put up at the Bear, with a friend called Henry Long.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24We used to take a sitting room and be very happy there.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Since he died,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I haven't cared to go there.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I don't know that I should, anyhow,
0:02:32 > 0:02:37after the particular thing that happened on our last visit.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51It was in April 1902 we were there.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56By some chance, we were almost the only people in the hotel.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The public rooms were practically empty,
0:02:59 > 0:03:03so we were surprised when, after dinner, our door opened,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07 and a young man put his head in.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12He was rather a rabbity, anaemic specimen - light hair, light eyes -
0:03:12 > 0:03:15but he was not unpleasing.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18He made some pretence of reading a book.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21It became plain after a few minutes,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24that our visitor was in a state of nerves.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29I put away my writing and turned to talk to him.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33After some remarks, he became rather confidential.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36"You'll think me odd, but I've had a shock."
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Well, I recommended a drink of some cheering kind.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48We had it, and we settled down to hear what his difficulty was.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54"It began," he said,
0:03:54 > 0:03:58"over a week ago, when I cycled to Froston,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00"to see the church.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03"I'm very interested in architecture.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06"It has a porch with niches and shields.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11"I photographed it, then some coats of arms."
0:04:12 > 0:04:17"One...showed...three crowns.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19"I'm not much of a herald,
0:04:19 > 0:04:24"but I recognised the arms of the kingdom of East Anglia.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31"I looked round and there was the rector coming up the path.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34"He saw where I'd been looking.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39"'Ah yes,' said the rector, 'that's a very curious matter.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44"'But I don't know whether you would be interested in our old stories...'
0:04:44 > 0:04:46"'Oh yes!'"
0:04:49 > 0:04:54"He told me there'd always been a belief here in the three holy crowns.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57"People say they were buried near the coast,
0:04:57 > 0:05:02"to keep off the Danes, or the French, or the Germans.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06"They say one of the three was dug up a long time ago.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10"Another disappeared by the encroaching of the sea.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14"Only one is still left doing its work -
0:05:14 > 0:05:17"keeping off invaders."
0:05:19 > 0:05:22"'Do they say where it is?' I asked.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27"The rector said to me, 'Yes indeed, they do.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30"'But they don't tell.'
0:05:30 > 0:05:35"His manner did not encourage me to put the obvious question."
0:05:37 > 0:05:42"'I have to tell you first about the Agers,' he said.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47"'The Agers?' I repeated.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51"'It's a very old name in these parts,' he informed me.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53"'These Agers say, or said,
0:05:53 > 0:05:59"'that their branch of the family were the guardians of the last crown,
0:05:59 > 0:06:03"'A certain old...Nathaniel Ager was the first one I knew.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08"'He camped out at a place where the crown is said to be hidden.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11"'Young William did the same.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14"'I've no doubt he hastened his end -
0:06:14 > 0:06:17"'for he was consumptive -
0:06:17 > 0:06:20"'from exposure and night watching.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25"'So the last of the holy crowns, if it is there, has no guardian.'"
0:06:27 > 0:06:32"That was what the rector told me," said Mr Paxton to me.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35You can fancy how interesting I found it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:41"All I could think of was how to find where the crown was supposed to be.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44"How I wish I'd left it alone...
0:06:44 > 0:06:49"But there was a sort of... fate in it.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52"For as I cycled past the churchyard,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56"my eye caught a fairly new gravestone.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58"On it was the name of...
0:06:58 > 0:07:03"William Ager, aged 28."
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Paxton carried on,
0:07:07 > 0:07:12"I asked the owner of the curiosity shop about William Ager.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15"Of course, he happened to remember him.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19"He'd lived in the north field, and died there.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24"A woman I met said how sad it was he'd died so young.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29"She was sure it came from spending nights outdoors in the cold weather.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32"Then I had to say,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34"'Did he go out on the sea at night?'
0:07:34 > 0:07:37"Then she said,
0:07:37 > 0:07:41"'Oh, no, on the hill over there with the trees on it.'
0:07:41 > 0:07:43"There I was."
0:07:45 > 0:07:49"I know something about digging in these barrows.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52"I've opened many of them in the Down country.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55"But that was with the owner's leave,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58"in broad daylight, and with men to help.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02"Still, the soil was very light and sandy.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06"There was a rabbit hole that might be made into a tunnel.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11"Coming and going at odd hours to the hotel would be the awkward part.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15"When I made up my mind about the way to excavate,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19"I said I'd been called away that night.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22"I spent it out there."
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Our friend carried on with his story.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28"I made my tunnel.
0:08:28 > 0:08:34"I won't bore you with details of how I supported it and filled it in.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39"The main thing is...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41"I've got...the crown."
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Well, naturally, we, Long and I,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54 were surprised and interested.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00No-one has ever seen an Anglo-Saxon crown - at least, no-one HAD.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04But our man gave us... a mournful look.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06"Yes," he said,
0:09:06 > 0:09:11"the worst of it is I don't know how to put it back."
0:09:11 > 0:09:13"Put it back?!" we cried out.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18"My dear sir, you've made one of the most exciting finds in this country!"
0:09:18 > 0:09:23All he did was to put his face in his hands and mutter,
0:09:23 > 0:09:27"I don't know how to put it back!"
0:09:27 > 0:09:29At last, Long said,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33"You'll forgive me if I seem impertinent,
0:09:33 > 0:09:38"but are you QUITE sure you have got it?"
0:09:38 > 0:09:41He sat up and said, "Oh yes, no doubt of that.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45"I have it here in my room, locked in my bag.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50"You can come and look at it, if you like. I won't bring it here."
0:09:50 > 0:09:53We weren't likely to let the chance slip.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58We went with him to his room.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00It was only a few doors off.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05The boots-boy was just collecting shoes in the passage.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Or...so we thought.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Afterwards, we weren't so sure.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20Mr Paxton was in a worse state of shivers than before.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23He hurried into the room and beckoned us in.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27He shut the door carefully and unlocked his bag,
0:10:27 > 0:10:33producing a bundle of handkerchiefs in which something was wrapped.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37He laid it on the bed, and opened it up.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43It was silver, set with some gemstones.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47The workmanship was plain, almost rough.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I can now say that I have seen...
0:10:53 > 0:10:57an actual Anglo-Saxon crown.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I was intensely interested, of course.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07I wanted to turn it over in my hands, but Paxton prevented me.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12"Don't YOU touch it," he said, "I'll do that."
0:11:12 > 0:11:15With a sigh that was dreadful to hear,
0:11:15 > 0:11:21he took it up and turned it about, so we could see every part of it.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27"Er...have you seen enough?", he said at last. We nodded.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32He wrapped it up, locked up his bag, and looked at us forlornly.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38"What is to be done?", was his opening.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43"It's got to go back. I daren't go at night and daytime's impossible.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48"The truth is I've never been alone since I touched it."
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Then it all came out.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56He looked over his shoulder and beckoned us nearer him.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59He began speaking in a low voice, and said,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01"It began...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04"when I was first...prospecting.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11"It put me off again and again.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14"There was always somebody, a man,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17"standing by one of the firs."
0:12:20 > 0:12:23"He was never in front of me.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28"I always saw him with the tail of my eye, on the left or the right.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33"He was never there when I looked straight at him.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37"I'd lie down for a long time and take careful observations.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42"I made sure there was no-one, and when I began prospecting again...
0:12:43 > 0:12:45"..THERE he was."
0:12:58 > 0:13:03"When I was making the tunnel," Paxton continued, "it was worse.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07"It was like someone scraping at my back all the time.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11"I thought it was only soil dropping on me.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14"But, as I got nearer... the...the crown,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17"it was unmistakeable.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22"When I actually laid it bare, put my fingers on it and pulled it OUT,
0:13:22 > 0:13:27"there came a sort of...cry behind me.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31"Oh, I can't tell you how desolate and threatening it was.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36"If I hadn't been the fool that I am...
0:13:35 > 0:13:41"I should have put the thing back and left it, but...I didn't."
0:13:49 > 0:13:54"The rest of the time was just awful.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59"I had hours to get through before I could decently return to the hotel.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04"First I spent time filling my tunnel and covering my tracks.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06"All the while...
0:14:08 > 0:14:10"..he was there.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13"Sometimes you see him, sometimes you don't.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17"Just as HE pleases.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21"He has some...power... over your eyes.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28"I wasn't off the spot very long before sunrise.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32"Then I had to get the train back to Seaburgh.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41"There were always hedges, or gorse bushes, or fences along the road -
0:14:41 > 0:14:43"some sort of cover, I mean.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46"I was never easy for a second.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50"When I began to meet people going to work,
0:14:50 > 0:14:55"they always looked...behind me... very strangely.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01"The porter at the train was like that too.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04"The guard held open the door...
0:15:04 > 0:15:07"AFTER I'd got into the carriage.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10"Just as he would if...
0:15:10 > 0:15:15"there was...somebody else coming, you know.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19"Oh, you may be very sure it isn't my fancy,"
0:15:19 > 0:15:23he said, with a mirthless sort of laugh.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Then he went on,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27"Even if I do put it back,
0:15:27 > 0:15:32"he won't...forgive me. I can tell that."
0:15:36 > 0:15:40"I was so happy a fortnight ago..."
0:15:43 > 0:15:46He dropped into a chair.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I believe...he began to cry.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58We didn't know what to say,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01but felt we must rescue him somehow.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06We said if he was set on putting the crown back, we'd help him.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I must say, after what we'd heard...
0:16:10 > 0:16:14it did seem the right thing.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19If all that Paxton had said was true,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23might there not be something in the original idea
0:16:23 > 0:16:28that the crown had some curious power bound up with it,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30to guard the coast?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It was nearly half past ten.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40There was a brilliant moon.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43We were off on this strange errand
0:16:43 > 0:16:48before we had time to think how very much out of the way it was.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Paxton had a large coat over his arm.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Under it was the wrapped-up crown.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58There was nobody about, nobody at all.
0:17:03 > 0:17:09We went up the road to the church, and turned in at the churchyard gate.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14I confess to having thought that there was, or there might be,
0:17:14 > 0:17:20someone...lying there, who might be conscious of our business.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27As we neared the mound on the ridge,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Henry Long felt, and I felt too,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34that there were, what I can only call,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37dim presences...
0:17:38 > 0:17:40..waiting for us...
0:17:42 > 0:17:45..as well as a far more actual one...
0:17:45 > 0:17:47accompanying us.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Paxton breathed like a hunted beast - we couldn't look at his face.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03How he would manage when we got there we hadn't thought about.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08He'd seemed so sure that it would not be difficult.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Nor was it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:17I never saw anything like the dash with which he flew at the mound.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23He tore at it and in a few minutes most of his body was out of sight.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29We stood holding the coat and the bundle of handkerchiefs,
0:18:29 > 0:18:33looking very fearfully, I must admit, about us.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38There was nothing to be seen.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Paxton pulled himself out the hole, stretching a hand back to us.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50"Give it to me," he whispered.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52"Unwrapped."
0:18:54 > 0:18:58We pulled off the handkerchiefs and he took the crown.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02The moonlight just fell on it as he snatched it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05We hadn't touched that metal ourselves.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I've thought since that it was just as well.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15In a moment, Paxton was out again and shovelling back the soil.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18His hands were now bleeding.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Some hundred yards from the hill, Long said to him,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27"I say, you've left your coat there,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30"that won't do, see?"
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Our eyes certainly...
0:19:34 > 0:19:36did see...
0:19:36 > 0:19:41a long, dark overcoat lying where the tunnel had been.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Paxton hadn't stopped, however.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48He only shook his head,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51and held up...the coat on his arm.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55When we joined him, he said -
0:19:55 > 0:20:00without any excitement, as if nothing mattered any more -
0:20:00 > 0:20:02"That wasn't my coat."
0:20:04 > 0:20:06And indeed,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08when we looked back again,
0:20:08 > 0:20:12that dark thing...was not to be seen.
0:20:18 > 0:20:24Back in our room, we did our very best to make Paxton cheerful.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28"There's the crown safe back," we said.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31"Very likely you shouldn't have touched it,"
0:20:31 > 0:20:34he agreed with that,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36"but no real harm has been done.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41"We'll never give this away to anyone who'd be so mad as to go near it."
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Paxton turned to thank us.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51But we told him no thanks were due, and that we'd meet again tomorrow.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57Next day dawned as beautiful an April morning as you could desire.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07Long and I had lunch at the Links early, so as not to be late back.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12When we did get back, we found Paxton peaceably reading.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15"Ready to come out?", said Long,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18"Say, in half an hour's time?"
0:21:18 > 0:21:20"Oh, certainly!", he said.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26I had my bath first, lay on my bed and slept for 10 minutes.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Long and I came out of our rooms at the same time.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34We went together to the sitting room.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38 Paxton wasn't there - only his book.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Nor was he in his room, or downstairs. We shouted for him.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45A servant girl came out and said,
0:21:45 > 0:21:50"Why, I thought you gentlemen was gone out already.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53"So did the other gentleman.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55"He heard you...
0:21:55 > 0:21:59"calling from the path...there.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01"He run out in a hurry.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05"I looked out the window, but I didn't see YOU.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08"However, he run off.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11"Down the beach, that way."
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Without a word, we ran that way too.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18It was the opposite direction to that of last night's expedition.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28We ran on as far as the top of the shingle bank and stopped.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Long said he saw Paxton some distance ahead...
0:22:36 > 0:22:38..running and waving his stick,
0:22:38 > 0:22:44as if he wanted to signal to people who were on ahead of him.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I couldn't be sure.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51One of these sea mists was coming up quickly from the south.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56There was...someone.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58 That's all I could say.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03There WERE tracks on the sand like someone running who wore shoes,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07and there were other tracks, made before those -
0:23:07 > 0:23:12for the shoes sometimes trod in them and interferred with them -
0:23:12 > 0:23:14of someone...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16not in shoes.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19There they were, over and over again.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27We had no doubt that what we saw was the track...
0:23:27 > 0:23:30the track of a...bare foot.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35It showed more bones than flesh.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43The notion of Paxton running after anything like that
0:23:43 > 0:23:46and supposing it to be his friends...
0:23:46 > 0:23:49We were terrified to think about it -
0:23:49 > 0:23:53how the thing he was following might stop suddenly.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57If it turned around on him...
0:23:57 > 0:24:00what sort of face would it show,
0:24:00 > 0:24:05half-seen in the mist, which was getting thicker and thicker?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07As I ran on,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10wondering how he could have been lured into mistaking that...
0:24:10 > 0:24:13OTHER thing for us,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I remembered him saying...
0:24:17 > 0:24:19.."he has some...
0:24:19 > 0:24:21"power...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23"over your eyes."
0:24:25 > 0:24:28It was weird...eerie.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33Like some sorcery, how the sun could be high in the sky, and yet...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36we were seeing nothing.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44We got to the old battery just by the Martello tower.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48We clambered to the top to look over the shingle -
0:24:48 > 0:24:52if the mist would let us see anything.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55We needed to rest, we'd run a mile at least.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Nothing whatever was visible ahead of us on that long, shingle spit.
0:25:00 > 0:25:06We were just turning to get down and run on, with no more hope,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08and it was then that we heard...
0:25:10 > 0:25:13..what I can only call...
0:25:13 > 0:25:15a laugh.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20It came from below and swerved away into the mist.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23That...was enough.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25We bent over the wall...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30..Paxton was there at the bottom.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34You don't need to be told that he was dead.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41His tracks showed he'd run along the battery.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44He turned around the corner of it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Then...he must have dashed
0:25:48 > 0:25:52straight into...the open arms
0:25:52 > 0:25:57of someone...who was waiting there.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10His mouth was full of sand and stones,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12and his teeth and jaw
0:26:12 > 0:26:15were broken to bits.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I only glanced once at his face.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38What were we to say at the inquest?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40It was a duty, we felt,
0:26:40 > 0:26:45NOT to tell the secret of the crown and have it published in every paper.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50I don't know how much YOU would have told.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54But what we DID agree upon was this:
0:26:54 > 0:26:58To say that we'd only made Paxton's acquaintance the day before,
0:26:58 > 0:27:03and that he'd told us he was under some apprehension of danger
0:27:03 > 0:27:07at the hands of a man called...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10William Ager.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Also, that we'd seen some other tracks, besides Paxton's,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17when we followed him on the beach.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22Of course, by that time, everything was gone from the sands.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26It was just as well no-one had any knowledge
0:27:26 > 0:27:30of any William Ager living in the district.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32The evidence of the man -
0:27:32 > 0:27:37a caretaker at the Martello tower who saw Paxton fall -
0:27:37 > 0:27:39freed us from all suspicion.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43All that could be done
0:27:43 > 0:27:47was to return a verdict of wilful murder
0:27:47 > 0:27:51by person or persons unknown.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Nothing more was discovered about Paxton.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01And so, the legal business reached, so to speak,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03a...dead end.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I've never...
0:28:14 > 0:28:17been at Seaburgh,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20or even near it,
0:28:20 > 0:28:24since.
