In that part of the western division of this kingdom

Track length2:26
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Allworthy had been absent a full quarter of a year in London

Track length3:29
$1.00
$1.30

It was now the middle of May

Track length2:14
$1.00
$1.30

Not otherwise than when a kite, tremendous bird

Track length3:42
$1.00
$1.30

When Jenny appeared before him, Mr Allworthy took her into his study

Track length2:13
$1.00
$1.30

Neither Mr Allworthy's house, nor his heart

Track length2:58
$1.00
$1.30

It hath been observed, by wise men or women

Track length4:33
$1.00
$1.30

Eight months after the celebration of the nuptials

Track length3:42
$1.00
$1.30

There have been, in all ages and nations

Track length2:05
$1.00
$1.30

Mrs Wilkins brought back such a confirmation

Track length2:48
$1.00
$1.30

An affection placed on the understanding is, by many wise persons

Track length3:48
$1.00
$1.30

We are obliged to bring our hero on the stage

Track length4:37
$1.00
$1.30

Poor Jones spent a very melancholy night

Track length2:22
$1.00

The name of this gentleman

Track length4:31
$1.00
$1.30

The reader may remember that Mr Allworthy gave Tom Jones

Track length3:09
$1.00
$1.30

Jones was lately grown very intimate with Mr Western

Track length2:40
$1.00
$1.30

The amiable Sophia was now in her eighteenth year

Track length5:42
$1.00
$1.30

Now, though this young gentleman, Jones

Track length2:23
$1.00
$1.30

Her mother first perceived the alteration in the shape of Molly

Track length4:53
$1.00
$1.30

Just as Tom arrived at Mr Allworthy's outward gate

Track length2:29
$1.00
$1.30

The reader will be pleased, I believe, to return with me to Sophia

Track length3:59
$1.00
$1.30

Jones was ordered into a bed

Track length3:59
$1.00
$1.30

If Jones could hope to find no bar to his happiness from the daughter

Track length3:21
$1.00
$1.30

Molly remained a few moments in silence

Track length3:49
$1.00
$1.30

The infidelity of Molly, which Jones had now discovered

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Western was become so fond of Jones

Track length5:35
$1.00
$1.30

Neither Thwackum nor Square were much satisfied with their legacies

Track length2:53
$1.00
$1.30

Jones retired from the company, into the fields

Track length3:16
$1.00
$1.30

When he perceived the enemy's approach, leaped forth our hero

Track length3:04
$1.00
$1.30

The rest of Mr Western's company were now come up

Track length3:52
$1.00
$1.30

To Mr Western's house

Track length4:08
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Allworthy had been engaged to dine with Mr Western

Track length4:05
$1.00
$1.30

Sophia was in her chamber, reading

Track length3:43
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Blifil soon arrived

Track length5:39
$1.00
$1.30

Soon after Jones had left Mr Western, his sister came to him

Track length2:11
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Allworthy was now retired from breakfast with his nephew

Track length6:20
$1.00
$1.30

Jones was commanded to leave the house immediately

Track length4:39
$1.00
$1.30

Sophia had passed the last twenty-four hours

Track length3:45
$1.00
$1.30

Mrs Western had been engaged abroad all that day

Track length2:14
$1.00
$1.30

The morning in which Mr Jones departed

Track length3:50
$1.00
$1.30

Mrs Western proposed not only an immediate conclusion

Track length2:51
$1.00
$1.30

Mrs Honour no sooner heard a piece of news

Track length4:04
$1.00
$1.30

We left Mr Jones on his road to Bristol

Track length3:50
$1.00
$1.30

As for the landlord, he was prevented by his fears

Track length2:39
$1.00
$1.30

The other officers who marched with him were a French lieutenant

Track length5:03
$1.00
$1.30

Jones endeavoured to close his eyes, but all in vain

Track length5:05
$1.00
$1.30

The clock had now struck five when Jones awaked from a nap

Track length4:22
$1.00
$1.30

In the morning Jones grew a little uneasy

Track length5:17
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Jones and Partridge, or Little Benjamin

Track length5:04
$1.00
$1.30

Jones presently ran to lift up the old gentleman

Track length5:56
$1.00
$1.30

The day began to break, when Jones walked forth

Track length3:07
$1.00
$1.30

Jones helped Northerton upon his legs

Track length2:54
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Jones and his fair companion no sooner entered the town

Track length5:34
$1.00
$1.30

A serjeant and a file of musqueteers

Track length3:58
$1.00
$1.30

We think it no disparagement to our hero

Track length3:45
$1.00
$1.30

The fair one, enraged at her frequent disappointments

Track length2:40
$1.00
$1.30

While our lovers were entertaining themselves

Track length1:47
$1.00
$1.30

Now the little trembling hare

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

The landlady, remembering that Susan had been the only person

Track length3:52
$1.00
$1.30

The lady had no sooner laid herself on the pillow

Track length2:40
$1.00
$1.30

Sophia (for it was she herself) lay reclining her lovely head on her hand

Track length3:57
$1.00
$1.30

It was now past five in the morning

Track length4:01
$1.00
$1.30

Jones having, at length, shaken Mr Western off

Track length4:11
$1.00
$1.30

Before we proceed any further in our history

Track length4:34
$1.00
$1.30

Sophia, having directed her guide to travel through bye-roads

Track length2:25
$1.00
$1.30

Sophia now, at the desire of her cousin

Track length3:57
$1.00
$1.30

At length we are once more come to our hero

Track length4:08
$1.00
$1.30

Partridge began to prophesy

Track length3:59
$1.00
$1.30

They were got about two miles beyond Barnet

Track length5:30
$1.00
$1.30

From that figure which the Irish peer, who bought Sophia to town

Track length4:32
$1.00
$1.30

To dissuade Sophia from the match was an endeavour of the same kind

Track length5:32
$1.00
$1.30

Our company brought together in the morning

Track length3:31
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Nightingale, having taken a turn or two with his companion

Track length5:50
$1.00
$1.30

Jones grew still more and more impatient to see Sophia

Track length4:25
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Jones was rather earlier than the time appointed

Track length4:48
$1.00
$1.30

This point being cleared up

Track length5:01
$1.00
$1.30

Jones had not been long gone

Track length4:24
$1.00
$1.30

Jones was no sooner alone than he eagerly broke open his letter

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

The clock had now struck seven

Track length3:25
$1.00
$1.30

As to Squire Western

Track length3:39
$1.00
$1.30

We shalll now proceed to show by what method the squire discovered

Track length3:28
$1.00
$1.30

Jones was certainly at this instant in one of the most disagreeable

Track length3:47
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Nightingale came into Jones' room

Track length3:23
$1.00
$1.30

After some hesitation, Jones, upon the strength of this assurance

Track length3:46
$1.00
$1.30

We must now convey the reader to Mr Western's lodgings

Track length4:49
$1.00
$1.30

By the means of Black George

Track length3:57
$1.00
$1.30

The extraordinary tenderness which I have for my heroine

Track length2:29
$1.00
$1.30

Love had taken too deep a root in the mind of Lord Fellamar

Track length4:22
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Jones, at the appointed hour, attended on Mrs Fitzpatrick

Track length3:28
$1.00
$1.30

The reader hath been already often informed of the jealous temper

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Allworthy and Mrs Miller were just sat down to breakfast

Track length3:17
$1.00
$1.30

Mrs Miller had not long left the room when Mr Western entered

Track length4:12
$1.00
$1.30

Sophia's ill stars were not contented with all that she had suffered

Track length5:27
$1.00
$1.30

Whether it was that Fortune was apprehensive lest Jones should sink

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Jones passed about twenty-four melancholy hours by himself

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

While Mr Jones was employed in these unpleasant meditations

Track length2:19
$1.00
$1.30

Mr Allworthy, in talking with Mrs Miller and Mr Nightingale

Track length5:25
$1.00
$1.30

Allworthy recollected Partridge the moment he came into the room

Track length3:17
$1.00
$1.30

"Mr Allworthy," says she

Track length3:52
$1.00
$1.30

Allworthy was interrupted by the arrival of Mr Dowling

Track length5:56
$1.00
$1.30

At length Mr Allworthy arrived at Mr Western's

Track length3:24
$1.00
$1.30

"If this be your resolution," replied Allworthy

Track length3:05
$1.00
$1.30

When Allworthy returned to his lodgings

Track length3:05
$1.00
$1.30

Allworthy then acquainted Jones with the whole matter

Track length2:30
$1.00
$1.30

Jones, being now completely dressed

Track length5:53
$1.00
$1.30

At this instant Western, who had stood some time listening
