Part 1 Chapter 1

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

Someone has said that the death of a mouse…

Track length5:51
$1.00
$1.30

I don't, you understand, blame Florence.

Track length4:33
$1.00
$1.30

I asked Mrs. Ashburnham whether she had told Florence…

Track length4:26
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 2

Track length5:34
$1.00
$1.30

Florence's aunts used to say that I must be the laziest man…

Track length4:07
$1.00
$1.30

So Pierre Vidal declared himself Emperor of Jerusalem…

Track length4:17
$1.00
$1.30

He wasn't obtrusive about his heart.

Track length3:24
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 3

Track length4:30
$1.00
$1.30

And, what the devil! For whose benefit did she do it?

Track length4:34
$1.00
$1.30

His hair was fair, extraordinarily…

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

So, you see, he would have plenty to gurgle about…

Track length5:42
$1.00
$1.30

Mrs. Ashburnham exhibited at that moment more gaity…

Track length3:31
$1.00
$1.30

I loved Leonora always…

Track length4:08
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 4

Track length5:26
$1.00
$1.30

But these things have to be done…

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

I fancy his wife's irony did quite alarm poor Teddy…

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

I suppose I ought to have pitied the poor animal…

Track length4:07
$1.00
$1.30

And she laid one finger upon Captain Ashburnham's wrist.

Track length3:49
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 5

Track length4:48
$1.00
$1.30

You understand that there was nothing the matter…

Track length5:10
$1.00
$1.30

No, I cannot help wishing that Florence…

Track length5:31
$1.00
$1.30

But in boxing Mrs Maidan's ears…

Track length5:32
$1.00
$1.30

So, of course, for those three years or so…

Track length5:26
$1.00
$1.30

But Leonora's English Catholic conscience…

Track length5:43
$1.00
$1.30

And there could not have been anyone better…

Track length4:04
$1.00
$1.30

As a matter of fact, Maisie's being in Edward's room…

Track length4:32
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 6

Track length5:15
$1.00
$1.30

And, do you know, at the thought…

Track length4:45
$1.00
$1.30

What had happened on the day of our jaunt…

Track length3:21
$1.00
$1.30

For the trick was pretty efficiently done.

Track length3:11
$1.00
$1.30

Part 2 Chapter 1

Track length4:13
$1.00
$1.30

She wanted to marry a gentleman of leisure.

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

And that evening, when I went to fetch her…

Track length5:49
$1.00
$1.30

God knows. She was a frightened fool…

Track length5:38
$1.00
$1.30

You see, that fellow impressed upon me…

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

As God is my Judge, I do not believe…

Track length4:26
$1.00
$1.30

Well, Edward Ashburnham was worth having.

Track length3:35
$1.00
$1.30

Well, anyhow, she chanted Edward's praises…

Track length4:18
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 2

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

Well, I think I have made it pretty clear.

Track length4:27
$1.00
$1.30

Part 3 Chapter 1

Track length5:44
$1.00
$1.30

So that that was the first knowledge I had…

Track length5:17
$1.00
$1.30

What had actually happened had been this.

Track length4:45
$1.00
$1.30

He was very careful to assure me…

Track length4:33
$1.00
$1.30

I have come to be very much of a cynic in these matters.

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

And my story was concerning itself with Florence…

Track length4:28
$1.00
$1.30

But what she didn't want me to know…

Track length3:52
$1.00
$1.30

I tell you, I had no regret. What had I to regret?

Track length3:58
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 2

Track length5:54
$1.00
$1.30

Once, when she had been about twelve…

Track length5:21
$1.00
$1.30

They say the poor thing was always allowed…

Track length4:26
$1.00
$1.30

For Leonora made the girl go to bed at ten…

Track length4:49
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 3

Track length5:10
$1.00
$1.30

That was partly due to the careful…

Track length5:05
$1.00
$1.30

But as far as he could describe his feelings…

Track length3:34
$1.00
$1.30

She made tentative efforts at remonstrating with him.

Track length3:31
$1.00
$1.30

To do both justice…

Track length5:10
$1.00
$1.30

I don't know why they never had any children…

Track length3:46
$1.00
$1.30

Leonora could not but be aware…

Track length3:46
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 4

Track length5:23
$1.00
$1.30

A man I didn't know would come up…

Track length5:42
$1.00
$1.30

He began to indulge in day-dreams…

Track length5:33
$1.00
$1.30

When the palpitating creature was at last asleep…

Track length3:37
$1.00
$1.30

He spent a week of madness…

Track length4:36
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 5

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

Leonora then had three thousand a year…

Track length4:34
$1.00
$1.30

She ascertained that an old gentleman…

Track length4:43
$1.00
$1.30

Edward was pretty hard hit when Mrs. Basil had to go away.

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

'I propose,' she said, 'that you should resign…'

Track length4:44
$1.00
$1.30

From the moment of his unfaithfulness…

Track length3:44
$1.00
$1.30

She had at that period…

Track length3:39
$1.00
$1.30

Part 4 Chapter 1

Track length5:16
$1.00
$1.30

She saw life as a perpetual sex-battle…

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

That was really, she said, the happiest moment of her life…

Track length5:38
$1.00
$1.30

Yes, the mental deterioration that Florence…

Track length4:13
$1.00
$1.30

Well, Florence would come to Leonora…

Track length4:16
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 2

Track length4:33
$1.00
$1.30

Personally, I wanted to invest the money…

Track length5:17
$1.00
$1.30

And yet, to me, living in the house…

Track length5:13
$1.00
$1.30

Perhaps Nancy was the only person…

Track length5:48
$1.00
$1.30

But all that was doing a great deal of harm…

Track length4:41
$1.00
$1.30

Yes, Leonora wished to bring her riding-whip…

Track length4:20
$1.00
$1.30

'If you think,' Leonora said…

Track length3:42
$1.00
$1.30

The girl was sitting perfectly still in an arm-chair…

Track length3:48
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 3

Track length5:23
$1.00
$1.30

And yet the whole effect of that reading…

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

You are to remember that all this happened…

Track length5:37
$1.00
$1.30

Flame then really seemed to fill her body…

Track length4:38
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 4

Track length4:13
$1.00
$1.30

The sounds went on from the hall below…

Track length4:29

$1.30

Chapter 5

Track length5:29
$1.00
$1.30

Colonel Rufford said the doctor…

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

For there was a great deal of imbecility…

Track length4:55
$1.00
$1.30

In the case of Edward and the girl…

Track length5:14
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 6

Track length4:56
$1.00
$1.30

It is, at any rate, certain that Edward's actions…

Track length5:07
$1.00
$1.30

It is queer the quite fantastic things…

Track length5:37
$1.00
$1.30

But he was perfectly quiet and he had given up drinking.

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

Yes, society must go on; it must breed, like rabbits.
