Introduction

Track length4:56
$1.00
$1.30

That same evening my visit came to an end…

Track length5:22
$1.00
$1.30

This letter, as may be imagined…

Track length4:39
$1.00
$1.30

I - My Visitor

Track length5:10
$1.00
$1.30

A tall man of about thirty…

Track length7:58
$2.00
$2.60

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

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

'There,' he said, 'I must go…'

Track length4:39
$1.00
$1.30

II - The Years Roll By

Track length4:44
$1.00
$1.30

I put down the letter…

Track length5:05
$1.00
$1.30

In a very little while…

Track length5:21
$1.00
$1.30

III - The Sherd of Amenartas

Track length4:42
$1.00
$1.30

Job and Leo bent forward in breathless silence.

Track length5:12
$1.00
$1.30

'That is all,' I said.

Track length5:11
$1.00
$1.30

'Of the adventures that befell me…'

Track length5:00
$1.00
$1.30

'Well, let's see what the potsherd has to say…'

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

Besides the uncial writing on the convex side…

Track length5:16
$1.00
$1.30

A few of the Roman names…

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

Then came the last entry…

Track length4:42
$1.00
$1.30

'How do you account for what my father saw…'

Track length5:16
$1.00
$1.30

IV - The Squall

Track length5:55
$1.00
$1.30

'Well, Job,' I said…

Track length6:00
$1.00
$1.30

'Bail out! bail out!' shouted Job…

Track length5:55
$1.00
$1.30

Another minute, and with a sort of howl…

Track length5:35
$1.00
$1.30

V - The Head of the Ethiopian

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

The river mouth which we were entering…

Track length6:22
$1.00
$1.30

'Well, what is to be done now?' I asked…

Track length5:38
$1.00
$1.30

He lifted the rifle…

Track length5:17
$1.00
$1.30

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

Track length5:03
$1.00
$1.30

VI - An Early Christian Ceremony

Track length7:39
$2.00
$2.60

I do not know that there is any necessity…

Track length5:59
$1.00
$1.30

The man advanced, and the tall shadowy form…

Track length5:47
$1.00
$1.30

'Art thou awake, stranger?' he said…

Track length5:50
$1.00
$1.30

On looking round we discovered…

Track length5:59
$1.00
$1.30

VII - Ustane Sings

Track length5:32
$1.00
$1.30

When he had gone we discussed the situation…

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

Taking the hint, we got up and went down to the stream…

Track length6:04
$1.00
$1.30

They had a Queen, however. She was their Queen…

Track length4:49
$1.00
$1.30

We three and Ustane were sitting round a fire…

Track length6:47
$1.00
$1.30

VIII - The Feast, and After!

Track length6:27
$1.00
$1.30

This is a digression at a critical moment…

Track length5:48
$1.00
$1.30

I sprang to my feet with a yell of horror…

Track length5:48
$1.00
$1.30

Then it was that the two others sprang upon me.

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

IX - A Little Foot

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

'Ah,' he went on, 'it was a gallant fight that ye fought…'

Track length5:21
$1.00
$1.30

The morning came at last…

Track length6:34
$1.00
$1.30

I looked up doubtfully…

Track length6:12
$1.00
$1.30

X - Speculations

Track length7:56
$2.00
$2.60

On we went through it all, till at last the sun sank…

Track length4:50
$1.00
$1.30

Above me, as I lay, shone the eternal stars…

Track length3:58
$1.00
$1.30

Then I fell to reflecting upon the undertaking…

Track length6:16
$1.00
$1.30

Presently, as we blundered and floundered along…

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

XI - The Plain of Kor

Track length4:21
$1.00
$1.30

'Behold the house of "She-who-must-be-obeyed"!'

Track length4:42
$1.00
$1.30

By now we were well on to the great plain…

Track length5:23
$1.00
$1.30

At last we reached the face of the precipice itself…

Track length5:03
$1.00
$1.30

As I anticipated, we had passed…

Track length7:10
$2.00
$2.60

XII - 'She'

Track length5:35
$1.00
$1.30

The first picture represented his death.

Track length6:34
$1.00
$1.30

We passed down the passage…

Track length5:30
$1.00
$1.30

Painfully and slowly old Billali crept up…

Track length6:51
$1.00
$1.30

'Why art thou so frightened, stranger?'

Track length7:13
$2.00
$2.60

XIII - Ayesha Unveils

Track length6:58
$1.00
$1.30

'So! The Hebrews, are they yet at Jerusalem?…'

Track length6:07
$1.00
$1.30

'Oh man!' she said at last…

Track length7:33
$2.00
$2.60

'Dost thou wonder how I knew that ye were coming…'

Track length7:22
$2.00
$2.60

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

Track length3:49
$1.00
$1.30

She lifted her white and rounded arms…

Track length4:25
$1.00
$1.30

Drawn by some magnetic force which I could not resist…

Track length5:25
$1.00
$1.30

XIV - A Soul in Hell

Track length6:11
$1.00
$1.30

Next I bethought me that I had not been…

Track length5:59
$1.00
$1.30

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

Track length7:04
$2.00
$2.60

But at length she seemed to wear herself out…

Track length6:15
$1.00
$1.30

XV - Ayesha Gives Judgment

Track length6:08
$1.00
$1.30

After I had dressed myself…

Track length6:21
$1.00
$1.30

Then came a silence.

Track length6:15
$1.00
$1.30

'Dogs and serpents,' She began in a low voice…

Track length7:39
$2.00
$2.60

XVI - The Tombs of Kor

Track length6:28
$1.00
$1.30

'I, Junis, a priest of the Great Temple of Kor…'

Track length6:26
$1.00
$1.30

Accordingly I followed her to a side passage…

Track length6:40
$1.00
$1.30

We left the place and entered others.

Track length7:03
$2.00
$2.60

'Behold the lot of man,' said the veiled Ayesha…

Track length3:55
$1.00
$1.30

XVII - The Balance Turns

Track length4:46
$1.00
$1.30

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

Track length7:00
$2.00
$2.60

I rose, and sank on the cushioned couch beside her…

Track length5:37
$1.00
$1.30

'Well, my Holly,' she continued…

Track length6:33
$1.00
$1.30

'Thou comest in a good time, Ayesha,' I said…

Track length6:45
$1.00
$1.30

One thing, however, was certain…

Track length7:53
$2.00
$2.60

XVIII - 'Go, Woman!'

Track length6:42
$1.00
$1.30

I felt it was hopeless to argue…

Track length5:28
$1.00
$1.30

'Who is this man?' she said, pointing…

Track length7:02
$2.00
$2.60

That night I passed in Leo's room…

Track length6:20
$1.00
$1.30

On the following day Leo got up…

Track length7:20
$2.00
$2.60

XIX - 'Give me a Black Goat!'

Track length7:23
$2.00
$2.60

After about an hour of this amusement…

Track length6:14
$1.00
$1.30

'I promised thee a strange sight, my Holly,' laughed Ayesha…

Track length5:34
$1.00
$1.30

I thought that the entertainment was now over…

Track length5:20
$1.00
$1.30

XX - Triumph

Track length7:09
$2.00
$2.60

Here Ayesha half rose from her couch…

Track length6:45
$1.00
$1.30

'I am not Kallikrates, and, as for being thy lord…'

Track length6:52
$1.00
$1.30

Suddenly, with a snake-like motion…

Track length5:15
$1.00
$1.30

Then, turning to Leo, and laying her hand…

Track length3:08
$1.00
$1.30

She paused in her strange and most thrilling allegorical chant…

Track length6:46
$1.00
$1.30

XXI - The Dead and Living Meet

Track length7:34
$2.00
$2.60

I turned to see what effect was produced upon Leo…

Track length7:18
$2.00
$2.60

As we passed to our own apartment…

Track length4:27
$1.00
$1.30

No doubt she was a wicked person…

Track length4:20
$1.00
$1.30

XXII - Job has a Presentiment

Track length6:13
$1.00
$1.30

'Come, come, Job,' I said seriously…

Track length6:41
$1.00
$1.30

'And thou, too, oh Holly…'

Track length6:31
$1.00
$1.30

'Thou lookest high,' answered Ayesha…

Track length6:40
$1.00
$1.30

'Rise, Ayesha,' he said sadly…

Track length7:13
$2.00
$2.60

XXIII - The Temple of Truth

Track length6:59
$1.00
$1.30

In connection with the extraordinary state of preservation…

Track length4:54
$1.00
$1.30

'There was a spot here, Kallikrates,' she said to Leo…

Track length7:16
$2.00
$2.60

'Come,' said Ayesha, after we had gazed and gazed…

Track length7:12
$2.00
$2.60

XXIV - Walking the Plank

Track length7:28
$2.00
$2.60

'Goodness me, Leo,' I said…

Track length5:23
$1.00
$1.30

'Here must we pass,' said Ayesha.

Track length4:41
$1.00
$1.30

'We must wait awhile,' called Ayesha…

Track length5:07
$1.00
$1.30

This settled me…

Track length4:58
$1.00
$1.30

XXV - The Spirit of Life

Track length6:57
$1.00
$1.30

'And I returned, having learned from him…'

Track length7:01
$2.00
$2.60

'Such is the tale, my love…'

Track length7:14
$2.00
$2.60

'I swear, even in this most holy hour…'

Track length7:36
$2.00
$2.60

For a long period we travelled on thus…

Track length5:59
$1.00
$1.30

We reached the head of the cave…

Track length7:29
$2.00
$2.60

XXVI - What We Saw

Track length6:58
$1.00
$1.30

'Oh, look! - look! - look!' shrieked Job…

Track length6:33
$1.00
$1.30

But who can tell what had happened?

Track length6:39
$1.00
$1.30

'Let's see it come once more,' said Leo…

Track length7:51
$2.00
$2.60

XXVII - We Leap

Track length7:39
$2.00
$2.60

Shortly after this, suddenly…

Track length7:04
$2.00
$2.60

Clearly all that we could do was to trust…

Track length6:31
$1.00
$1.30

XXVIII - Over the Mountain

Track length5:11
$1.00
$1.30

'Billali,' I said, 'once, thou knowest, I did save thy life…'

Track length6:36
$1.00
$1.30

'Farewell, my son the Baboon,' he said…

Track length7:49
$2.00
$2.60
