Dombey sat in the corner of the darkened room…

Track length5:58
$1.00
$1.30

'Mrs. Chick?' said a very bland female voice…

Track length3:42
$1.00
$1.30

'I am sorry to say, Louisa…'

Track length2:40
$1.00
$1.30

'I shall never cease to congratulate myself,'…

Track length5:41
$1.00
$1.30

'My good woman,' said Mr. Dombey…

Track length5:11
$1.00
$1.30

'I never saw such a melting thing in all my life!'

Track length4:44
$1.00
$1.30

Next night, she found him walking…

Track length4:34
$1.00
$1.30

The offices of Dombey and Son were within the liberties…

Track length5:38
$1.00
$1.30

'And now,' he said…

Track length4:31
$1.00
$1.30

Solomon Gills rubbed his hands…

Track length5:34
$1.00
$1.30

'So that Paul's infancy and childhood…'

Track length4:42
$1.00
$1.30

It happened to be an iron-grey autumnal day.

Track length4:58
$1.00
$1.30

'I am very glad to see you have so much feeling…'

Track length5:01
$1.00
$1.30

'Look! there's a pretty little lady come to see you,'…

Track length4:54
$1.00
$1.30

The old woman took her by the wrist…

Track length6:01
$1.00
$1.30

In hurriedly putting on the bonnet…

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

Obedient to the indication of Mr. Clerks hand…

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

'Let the servants know that no further steps…'

Track length4:24
$1.00
$1.30

Miss Tox inhabited a dark little house…

Track length4:30
$1.00
$1.30

It was on the very next day…

Track length4:55
$1.00
$1.30

On one of these occasions…

Track length4:32
$1.00
$1.30

Mrs. Chick and Miss Tox…

Track length5:35
$1.00
$1.30

At about noon Mrs. Pipchin…

Track length5:11
$1.00
$1.30

That spice of romance and love of the marvellous…

Track length5:05
$1.00
$1.30

'Captain Cuttle's at home, I know,' said Walter

Track length4:56
$1.00
$1.30

Major Bagstock, after long and frequent observation…

Track length5:37
$1.00
$1.30

But Mr. Dombey, without attending to what he said…

Track length5:58
$1.00
$1.30

Mrs. Pipchin had kept watch and ward over little Paul…

Track length4:56
$1.00
$1.30

Upon the Doctor's doorsteps one day Paul stood…

Track length4:34
$1.00
$1.30

'I shall see you soon, Paul…'

Track length4:53
$1.00
$1.30

At eight o'clock or so, the gong sounded again…

Track length4:20
$1.00
$1.30

'Oh Saturdays! Oh happy Saturdays…'

Track length3:17
$1.00
$1.30

Such spirits as he had in the outset…

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

'Talking of Morfin,' resumed Mr. Carker…

Track length5:21
$1.00
$1.30

'It is of no service to me,' said the brother.

Track length5:57
$1.00
$1.30

Paul, pocketing his invitation, sat down on a stool…

Track length4:56
$1.00
$1.30

Paul now slipped away…

Track length4:44
$1.00
$1.30

Once, for a last look, he turned and gazed…

Track length5:41
$1.00
$1.30

The Captain, however, scarcely appeared to relish…

Track length5:14
$1.00
$1.30

Greatly moved by what he heard…

Track length4:27
$1.00
$1.30

He was visited by as many as three grave doctors.

Track length5:25
$1.00
$1.30

Captain Cuttle, in the exercise of that surprising talent…

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

At first, when the house subsided…

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

Did he see before him the successful rival…

Track length4:56
$1.00
$1.30

'Oh but Walter,' said Florence.

Track length4:12
$1.00
$1.30

'Mr. Dombey, Sir,' saiD Major Bagstock…

Track length4:48
$1.00
$1.30

During the bustle of preparation at the railway…

Track length2:45
$1.00
$1.30

There was a face - he had looked upon it…

Track length3:39
$1.00
$1.30

ThE Major and Mr. Dombey were walking arm-in-arm…

Track length3:05
$1.00
$1.30

The discrepancy between Mrs. Skewton's…

Track length3:26
$1.00
$1.30

On the next day but one, Mr. Dombey and thE Major…

Track length2:24
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. Carker the Manager sat at his desk…

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

'Ain't you a thief?' said Mr. Carker…

Track length4:46
$1.00
$1.30

'Now, boy!' said Mr. Carker…

Track length1:50
$1.00
$1.30

Florence lived alone in the great dreary house…

Track length4:37
$1.00
$1.30

Arriving in good time abreast of the wooden…

Track length4:21
$1.00
$1.30

The Captain in his own apartment was sitting…

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

'Bunsby,' said the Captain, striking home at once…

Track length4:15
$1.00
$1.30

The voice here went out of the back parlour…

Track length2:03
$1.00
$1.30

Sir Barnet and Lady Skettles, very good people…

Track length4:17
$1.00
$1.30

Captain Cuttle, though no sluggard…

Track length4:43
$1.00
$1.30

On mature consideration of this evidence…

Track length3:14
$1.00
$1.30

'Your most obedient, Sir,' said thE Major.

Track length2:05
$1.00
$1.30

'You must have found the gentleman a great resource,' said Carker…

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

'Bluntness, Ma'am,' returned thE Major…

Track length3:19
$1.00
$1.30

'Major Bagstock, my darling Edith,' drawled her mother…

Track length3:45
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. Carker the Manager rose with the lark…

Track length3:45
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. Carker laughed, and turned upon his heel.

Track length2:52
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. Dombey having nothing else to say…

Track length3:12
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. Dombey, who had taken a stately leave…

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

'This is an attack, I suppose,' returned her mother…

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

Florence descended from the coach…

Track length5:20
$1.00
$1.30

Florence was, one day, sitting reading in her room…

Track length5:07
$1.00
$1.30

'My dear Dombey,' said Cleopatra…

Track length4:55
$1.00
$1.30

Dawn with its passionless blank face…

Track length4:23
$1.00
$1.30

So, from that day forward, for better for worse…

Track length4:50
$1.00
$1.30

The Captain got safe home again…

Track length5:53
$1.00
$1.30

The Captain glanced at the newspaper…

Track length5:01
$1.00
$1.30

Near to where the busy great north road…

Track length5:04
$1.00
$1.30

She was now opposite the house…

Track length4:57
$1.00
$1.30

If Florence could have stood within the room…

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

'Whose child?'

Track length5:12
$1.00
$1.30

The dark blot on the street is gone.

Track length1:46
$1.00
$1.30

Florence had come down to the hall…

Track length1:46
$1.00
$1.30

But dinner was announced, and Mr. Dombey…

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

It was his wife's. She had exchanged her dinner dress…

Track length5:40
$1.00
$1.30

'Mrs. Dombey,' said Mr. Dombey, advancing…

Track length5:27
$1.00
$1.30

They took her to pieces in very shame…

Track length2:30
$1.00
$1.30

Time, sure of foot and strong of will…

Track length5:34
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. Bunsby, who had a musical ear…

Track length5:49
$1.00
$1.30

To the moody, stubborn, sullen demon…

Track length4:06
$1.00
$1.30

'And now,' he thought, rising in his moral magnificence…

Track length5:49
$1.00
$1.30

They had now come up.

Track length4:03
$1.00
$1.30

All is going on as it was wont.

Track length2:20
$1.00
$1.30

A shadow even on that shadowed face…

Track length4:24
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. Carker nodded. 'Take care, then!'

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

'You know,' said Mr. Carker…

Track length4:42
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. Carker signified his understanding…

Track length5:33
$1.00
$1.30

Florence, long since awakened from her dream…

Track length5:37
$1.00
$1.30

With the day, though not so early as the sun…

Track length5:29
$1.00
$1.30

Susan then bestirred herself to get her trunks in order…

Track length4:48
$1.00
$1.30

Arrived at her own door, she was alighting…

Track length4:36
$1.00
$1.30

'It is growing late,' said Carker, after a pause…

Track length5:05
$1.00
$1.30

'See where he goes!' cried one of these two women…

Track length5:34
$1.00
$1.30

Florence loved him still, but, by degrees…

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

'Tell your sovereign master, Sir,' said Edith…

Track length5:04
$1.00
$1.30

When the evening had set in…

Track length5:12
$1.00
$1.30

She did not sink down at his feet…

Track length3:59
$1.00
$1.30

'Oh, Captain Cuttle!' cried Florence…

Track length2:39
$1.00
$1.30

'How de do, Captain Gills?' said a voice beside him…

Track length3:57
$1.00
$1.30

It was long before Florence awoke.

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

'He was older than you, my lady lass,' pursued the Captain…

Track length4:08
$1.00
$1.30

She had no thought of him but as a brother…

Track length4:33
$1.00
$1.30

There was an empty room above-stairs…

Track length4:32
$1.00
$1.30

'Thank you, heartily,' said Walter.

Track length5:00
$1.00
$1.30

She raised her head, and spoke to him…

Track length1:21
$1.00
$1.30

What is the proud man doing, while the days go by?

Track length1:07
$1.00
$1.30

At the Counting House, the clerks discuss…

Track length5:17
$1.00
$1.30

'Oh, for goodness' sake, Misses Brown…

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

There were two of the traitor's own blood…

Track length4:56
$1.00
$1.30

The time - an hour short of midnight…

Track length4:29
$1.00
$1.30

They both stood looking at each other.

Track length5:23
$1.00
$1.30

'All stratagems in love—' he interrupted, smiling.

Track length5:39
$1.00
$1.30

The lamps, gleaming on the medley of horses' heads…

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

Unable to rest, and irresistibly attracted…

Track length4:33
$1.00
$1.30

The Midshipman was all alive.

Track length5:34
$1.00
$1.30

From that time, Miss Nipper never returned…

Track length4:07
$1.00
$1.30

Although I have heard something of the changes…

Track length6:00
$1.00
$1.30

And what are the young couple saying…

Track length4:20
$1.00
$1.30

Solomon puts back the letter carefully…

Track length4:49
$1.00
$1.30

Harriet Carker left her house, and entered…

Track length3:47
$1.00
$1.30

The old woman, whose wits appeared disorderly…

Track length4:29
$1.00
$1.30

Changes have come again upon the great house…

Track length4:49
$1.00
$1.30

In the dusk of the evening Mr. Toodle, being off duty…

Track length4:03
$1.00
$1.30

'And the ruined man. How does he pass the hours, alone?'

Track length4:02
$1.00
$1.30

When the day broke he was shut up in his rooms again.

Track length5:43
$1.00
$1.30

The grand half-yearly festival holden by Doctor…

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. and Mrs. Toots withdrew to the Bedford.

Track length2:45
$1.00
$1.30

This awful demonstration…

Track length3:34
$1.00
$1.30

All this time, the Captain could not but observe…

Track length4:10
$1.00
$1.30

Florence had need of help.

Track length5:34
$1.00
$1.30

It chanced one evening, towards sunset…

Track length5:14
$1.00
$1.30

Their ride was six or eight miles long.

Track length4:08
$1.00
$1.30

Edith, breaking her silence, without moving eye or limb…

Track length5:59
$1.00
$1.30

'Oh Mama!' said Florence.

Track length4:39
$1.00
$1.30

And how goes the wooden Midshipman…?

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

The Captain approves of this figure greatly…

Track length3:37
$1.00
$1.30

Mr. Toots, with the assistance of his pipe…

Track length3:48
$1.00
