In giving to the world the record of what…

It was in this very month, something over twenty years ago…

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

I sprang almost out of my chair.

Track length4:32
$1.00
$1.30

He paused a while, his head sunk upon his hand…

Track length4:20
$1.00
$1.30

As it seemed to me, I had only been asleep…

Track length4:09
$1.00
$1.30

At length the child arrived…

Track length4:23
$1.00
$1.30

On the day preceding Leo's twenty-fifth birthday…

Track length5:41
$1.00
$1.30

The next thing that I found was a parchment…

Track length7:42
$2.00
$2.60

Thus the letter, which was unsigned and undated…

Track length6:26
$1.00
$1.30

Then came what was perhaps as curious an entry…

Track length5:28
$1.00
$1.30

How different is the scene that I have now to tell…

Track length3:35
$1.00
$1.30

I felt the dhow sinking under me…

Track length4:28
$1.00
$1.30

At length the heralds and forerunners of the royal sun…

Track length5:50
$1.00
$1.30

Accordingly, having carefully fitted the mast…

Track length4:22
$1.00
$1.30

I do not quite know what it was that made me…

Track length6:15
$1.00
$1.30

Turning back, we walked some way along the banks…

Track length5:03
$1.00
$1.30

I suppose I must have slept for seven or eight hours…

Track length6:57
$1.00
$1.30

When the 'kissing' operation was finished…

Track length4:39
$1.00
$1.30

The night passed very comfortably on the whole…

Track length7:08

On the day following this remarkable scene…

Track length5:43
$1.00
$1.30

For a moment there was a silence of astonishment…

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

When I opened my eyes again…

Track length6:13
$1.00
$1.30

It took us an hour and more to cross…

Track length3:45
$1.00
$1.30

By dawn on the following morning…

Track length6:52
$1.00
$1.30

We found ourselves in a huge rock-surrounded cup…

Track length6:10
$1.00
$1.30

When we had eaten we returned…

Track length5:22
$1.00
$1.30

At length the curtain began to move.

Track length6:11
$1.00
$1.30

'There,'said She, 'he has gone…'

Track length6:11
$1.00
$1.30

I rose and gazed, and instantly the water darkened.

Track length3:13
$1.00
$1.30

'Hast thou aught to ask me before thou goest…'

Track length5:12
$1.00
$1.30

It was nearly ten o'clock at night…

Track length4:15
$1.00
$1.30

I was at the curtains, and they did not hang close…

Track length5:11
$1.00
$1.30

The next thing that I remember…

Track length6:46
$1.00
$1.30

After the prisoners had been removed…

Track length7:21
$2.00
$2.60

We left the place and entered others.

Track length4:30
$1.00
$1.30

'So, my Holly, sit there where thou canst see me.'

Track length4:15
$1.00
$1.30

Accordingly, I went, only to find Job and Ustane…

Track length6:38
$1.00
$1.30

Then followed a silence of a minute or so…

Track length6:11
$1.00
$1.30

That night I passed in Leo's room…

Track length5:29
$1.00
$1.30

Presently, however, this pleasing piece was interrupted.

Track length5:38
$1.00
$1.30

In due course we gained Ayesha's boudoir…

Track length6:40
$1.00
$1.30

Suddenly, with a snake-like motion…

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

With a sudden motion she drew the shroud from the cold form…

Track length6:09
$1.00
$1.30

It was nine o'clock on the following morning…

Track length4:52
$1.00
$1.30

In a few minutes' time we were stepping out…

Track length4:11
$1.00
$1.30

Of course we got up at once and started…

Track length4:37
$1.00
$1.30

Next day the mutes woke us before the dawn.

Track length5:30
$1.00
$1.30

At last, however, we halted at its farther end…

Track length5:39
$1.00
$1.30

And now, by this ray of light…

Track length7:18
$2.00
$2.60

But Ayesha merely called to me to take her hand…

Track length6:08
$1.00
$1.30

She paused, and the strange tenderness in her voice…

Track length6:50
$1.00
$1.30

We stood in a third cavern…

Track length5:31
$1.00
$1.30

At last, from far far away, came the first murmur…

Track length3:29
$1.00
$1.30

As soon as it was gone, she stepped forward…

Track length4:36
$1.00
$1.30

I know not how long we remained thus.

Track length5:58
$1.00
$1.30

We passed through the caves without trouble.

Track length6:15
$1.00
$1.30

It was early morning…
