Mrs. Morel came of a good old burgher family…

Track length7:26
$2.00
$2.60

She had told him before…

Track length7:37
$2.00
$2.60

He began to be rather late…

Track length8:02
$2.00
$2.60

So Morel would go on…

Track length7:48
$2.00
$2.60

The two had dinner in the Meadows…

Track length7:20
$2.00
$2.60

The moon was high and magnificent…

Track length8:19
$2.00
$2.60

Track length15:06
$2.00
$2.60

The sound was heard…

Track length7:38
$2.00
$2.60

Mrs. Morel had a visit every day…

Track length7:58
$2.00
$2.60

Mrs. Morel looked down at him.

Track length8:16
$2.00
$2.60

Morel, bothered, had succeeded…

Track length5:51
$1.00
$1.30

He closed the door behind him…

Track length6:10
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 3: The casting off of Morel.

Track length6:35
$1.00
$1.30

They called the baby Arthur.

Track length6:23
$1.00
$1.30

William, who was a tall lad…

Track length6:54
$1.00
$1.30

There ended the altercation.

Track length6:58
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 4: The young life of Paul.

Track length8:03
$2.00
$2.60

So they were happy in the morning…

Track length7:56
$2.00
$2.60

But the best time for the young children…

Track length7:51
$2.00
$2.60

Paul loved to sleep with his mother.

Track length7:18
$2.00
$2.60

Paul knew his turn was next…

Track length8:02
$2.00
$2.60

She started. Her heart hardened…

Track length5:33
$1.00
$1.30

They were brought exceedingly close together…

Track length5:43
$1.00
$1.30

Everybody was mad with excitement.

Track length7:55
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 5: Paul launches into life.

Track length6:34
$1.00
$1.30

Mrs. Morel took off her bonnet.

Track length7:45
$2.00
$2.60

And then, at ten o'clock, he set off.

Track length7:43
$2.00
$2.60

The sixteen slow miles of railway journey…

Track length7:32
$2.00
$2.60

He hated the little man…

Track length14:26
$1.00
$1.30

In the morning he filled in the form…

Track length7:42
$2.00
$2.60

Paul was led round to a very dark corner.

Track length7:02
$2.00
$2.60

And Paul ran upstairs after his chief.

Track length7:59
$2.00
$2.60

Again, and Paul could understand him least…

Track length8:19
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 6: Death in the family.

Track length7:51
$2.00
$2.60

In such a household, in Streatham…

Track length7:46
$2.00
$2.60

At Easter he came over alone.

Track length7:35
$2.00
$2.60

They found a little gate…

Track length7:02
$2.00
$2.60

The boys felt hostile to him…

Track length8:21
$2.00
$2.60

She never got beyond the second page.

Track length7:31
$2.00
$2.60

He wanted to come home.

Track length6:21
$1.00
$1.30

Paul wandered out to the pit…

Track length6:25
$1.00
$1.30

Paul saw drops of sweat fall from his father…

Track length5:36
$1.00
$1.30

PART II: Chapter 7: Lad-and-girl love.

Track length7:10
$2.00
$2.60

Miriam was moving about preparing dinner.

Track length7:59
$2.00
$2.60

The nest seemed to start into life…

Track length7:36
$2.00
$2.60

Away he went.

Track length7:32
$2.00
$2.60

She seemed very bitter.

Track length7:54
$2.00
$2.60

He was studying for his painting.

Track length7:48
$2.00
$2.60

He was hurt…

Track length8:13
$2.00
$2.60

In Ilkeston the colliers were waiting…

Track length7:32
$2.00
$2.60

The manor is of hard, pale grey stone…

Track length7:56
$2.00
$2.60

Miriam was startled.

Track length7:23
$2.00
$2.60

Miriam picked up her books…

Track length7:27
$2.00
$2.60

Only when he sketched…

Track length5:10
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 8: Strife in love.

Track length7:35
$2.00
$2.60

To console his mother…

Track length7:20
$2.00
$2.60

Clara Dawes had no children.

Track length7:28
$2.00
$2.60

He lighted his bicycle-lamp…

Track length7:34
$2.00
$2.60

And he, coming home from his walks…

Track length7:29
$2.00
$2.60

Annie, who had been teaching away…

Track length7:53
$2.00
$2.60

Both colliers sat away back.

Track length8:02
$2.00
$2.60

Miriam put her feet from under her dress.

Track length7:41
$2.00
$2.60

When they had all gone…

Track length6:59
$1.00
$1.30

He was not home again until a quarter to eleven…

Track length7:10
$2.00
$2.60

He could not bear it.

Track length6:30
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 9: Defeat of Miriam.

Track length7:26
$2.00
$2.60

She was stunned by his cruelty…

Track length7:18
$2.00
$2.60

He was telling her he did not love her…

Track length7:12
$2.00
$2.60

Miriam was indignant…

Track length7:47
$2.00
$2.60

One Sunday evening…

Track length7:06
$2.00
$2.60

Clara sat leaning on the table…

Track length7:01
$2.00
$2.60

Miriam came for him a little later…

Track length7:43
$2.00
$2.60

Clara did not answer…

Track length7:35
$2.00
$2.60

At this time Paul took his mother to Lincoln…

Track length7:19
$2.00
$2.60

Annie, too, was getting married.

Track length7:23
$2.00
$2.60

Mrs. Morel sat brooding…

Track length8:13
$2.00
$2.60

Miriam had one beautiful evening…

Track length7:52
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 10: Clara

Track length7:57
$2.00
$2.60

Paul and his mother now had long discussions…

Track length7:31
$2.00
$2.60

The months went slowly along.

Track length7:23
$2.00
$2.60

Clara suffered badly from her mother.

Track length7:29
$2.00
$2.60

Clara glanced round negligently.

Track length7:47
$2.00
$2.60

He went down the half-dozen steps...

Track length7:28
$2.00
$2.60

The pigeons in the pockets of rock…

Track length7:35
$2.00
$2.60

The afternoon was so gently warm…

Track length8:17
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 11: The test on Miriam

Track length6:24
$1.00
$1.30

He went on determinedly.

Track length6:15
$1.00
$1.30

As she stood under the drooping…

Track length6:52
$1.00
$1.30

Miriam came out wondering.

Track length6:38
$1.00
$1.30

In a while they went indoors.

Track length6:14
$1.00
$1.30

He spent the week with Miriam…

Track length7:36
$2.00
$2.60

At last he spoke.

Track length6:36
$1.00
$1.30

There was silence for a moment or two…

Track length6:04
$1.00
$1.30

She laughed strangely

Track length6:02
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 12: Passion

Track length8:11
$2.00
$2.60

Slowly the hours crawled.

Track length7:41
$2.00
$2.60

They were at the entrance to the Grove.

Track length6:53
$1.00
$1.30

He stood erect, looking round.

Track length7:06
$2.00
$2.60

He took her by the arm…

Track length7:18
$2.00
$2.60

Another day, when he saw Miriam…

Track length6:55
$1.00
$1.30

So he chattered…

Track length6:53
$1.00
$1.30

At tea Clara felt the refinement…

Track length7:25
$2.00
$2.60

They parted. He felt guilty towards her.

Track length8:00
$2.00
$2.60

And he plunged ahead into the darkness.

Track length6:33
$1.00
$1.30

The play went on.

Track length8:03
$2.00
$2.60

Soon the supper was finished…

Track length6:57
$1.00
$1.30

Then he stood, arrested.

Track length7:10
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 13: Baxter Dawes

Track length7:21
$2.00
$2.60

Paul would have died…

Track length8:19
$2.00
$2.60

The smith looked down contemptuously…

Track length6:58
$1.00
$1.30

One evening they were walking down by…

Track length7:07
$2.00
$2.60

When she saw him that day…

Track length7:08
$2.00
$2.60

She went plodding heavily over the sand…

Track length7:44
$2.00
$2.60

So there went on a battle between them.

Track length7:16
$2.00
$2.60

It was true as he said.

Track length7:41
$2.00
$2.60

Dawes, grunting with pain like a beast…

Track length6:45
$1.00
$1.30

Paul was very gay…

Track length6:49
$1.00
$1.30

His mother could come downstairs for tea…

Track length7:49
$2.00
$2.60

Paul put eight sovereigns and half a sovereign...

Track length8:09
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 14: The Release

Track length6:25
$1.00
$1.30

Dawes lay thinking.

Track length5:57
$1.00
$1.30

Paul and she were afraid of each other.

Track length5:43
$1.00
$1.30

In the morning they were both normal again.

Track length6:59
$1.00
$1.30

This was the first time…

Track length5:43
$1.00
$1.30

December came, and some snow.

Track length5:55
$1.00
$1.30

She was reared up in bed…

Track length8:03
$2.00
$2.60

And in a few minutes Paul heard his father's…

Track length7:26
$2.00
$2.60

He was still with her when the undertakers…

Track length7:38
$2.00
$2.60

Morel saw the wrist and the white hand…

Track length7:28
$2.00
$2.60

Morel sat down.

Track length7:30
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 15: Derelict

Track length7:02
$2.00
$2.60

So the weeks went on.

Track length5:41
$1.00
$1.30

Miriam took off her things and looked round.

Track length5:40
$1.00
$1.30

She bowed her head in silence.

Track length6:03
$1.00
$1.30

She stood before the mirror…

Track length5:12
$1.00
$1.30
