in all the islands in the wood of the ells.

Ah.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
But that's not so.

You know, all my.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Sons, Thomas and Petty barn on the same called when
there's night they were, and the first born Thomas, were
as good as an angel in Paradise. But the second there,
one man named Petty, was evil. From the moment he
took his first breath of God's good air.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It was.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Thomas had carried the load of the family on his back,
fishing from Maryland to late the petty Ah, that's right,
drinking and brawling and running from work, as if the
devil himself was pulling him away. I prayed to the
Good God every night that some goodness come into the
(02:19):
man's heart. But with every year he grew worse, stealing
what his crooked tongue couldn't talk away from honest men. Ah.
But his brother Thomas, he repaid me for all the
trouble a good bye. And when it came to me
with a word that he was to marry Iveen, the
(02:40):
herting me sang for the good God always meant for
the two of them to be together.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
How I remember the day of the widden, the sun shining,
and the sky and the sea smooth of the baby's cheek.
There was the happy little known of the horror of
what was to come. Ah, it was a happy morning.
Speaker 1 (02:59):

happier sound in all creation?
Speaker 4 (03:07):

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Thomas? It's not every day that such a blessed marriage
comes in the islands.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
He will be a better wedding without him. Oh, my mother,

and my brother.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Sorry, in my heart, he's drinking and brawlin.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Paddy, you did come speak? And why shouldn't I be here?
It's an honest stranger said, we welcome to your wedding, Patty.

That's not the way to talk.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
There's food and drink and nah.

Speaker 7 (03:50):
Weddings that it can't give a chance of making us

On wake if I'm not telling you the truth. I'm listening, Paddy,
But you're what you have to see you remember the half.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Of a ship that was wrecked off the Nish and abroad.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But to go well, well, I went there yesterday to
see if there was anything. What's happening?
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Listen to me, brother, in the bottom of a pool
no deeper than this room, he's lying enough. Bought some
copper and bash to make you and leave the richest
men on the items.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
What you can believe you're is.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Wouldn't you rather bring the brighter pocket book filled with
the golf suverns.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And the empty level you've got now for Paddy. I
wish you mother, you talk to the men that if.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
It's in the sea, it will wait until after the wedding?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Wait, will it?
Speaker 7 (04:34):
And with those iniche boats sailing out around the place, I.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Tell you now or never, and lay my sword for
the devil. If I'm not saying through.

Words, m Thomas, it would be nice to have a
bit of money in the house.

talking about day.

said the coupver in the brastling. I stripped off my
clothes and door under And when I tried to come
up for another breath of air, oh, mother, you wouldn't
let me do it with his hand, he held me under.
My hands they tore at his arm, but he held
(13:50):
me down dawn until at last I screamed for mercy,
and the water filled my mouth my lungs, and my
own brother killed me. And that is why I tore
myself out of the sea. I want to know why
he didn't why I cannot rest in peace until I

Sons, Thomas and Petty barn on the same called when
there's night they were, and the first born Thomas, were
as good as an angel in Paradise. But the second there,
one man named Petty, was evil. From the moment he
took his first breath of God's good air.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It was.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Thomas had carried the load of the family on his back,
fishing from Maryland to late the petty Ah, that's right,
drinking and brawling and running from work, as if the
devil himself was pulling him away. I prayed to the
Good God every night that some goodness come into the
(02:19):
man's heart. But with every year he grew worse, stealing
what his crooked tongue couldn't talk away from honest men. Ah.
But his brother Thomas, he repaid me for all the
trouble a good bye. And when it came to me
with a word that he was to marry Iveen, the
(02:40):
herting me sang for the good God always meant for
the two of them to be together.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
How I remember the day of the widden, the sun shining,
and the sky and the sea smooth of the baby's cheek.
There was the happy little known of the horror of
what was to come. Ah, it was a happy morning.
Speaker 1 (02:59):

happier sound in all creation?
Speaker 4 (03:07):

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Sorry, in my heart, he's drinking and brawlin.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Paddy, you did come speak? And why shouldn't I be here?
It's an honest stranger said, we welcome to your wedding, Patty.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's not the way to talk.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
There's food and drink and nah.

But you're what you have to see you remember the half.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Of a ship that was wrecked off the Nish and abroad.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But to go well, well, I went there yesterday to
see if there was anything. What's happening?
Speaker 7 (04:13):

no deeper than this room, he's lying enough. Bought some
copper and bash to make you and leave the richest
men on the items.

Speaker 7 (04:23):
Wouldn't you rather bring the brighter pocket book filled with
the golf suverns.
Speaker 1 (04:26):

Wait, will it?
Speaker 7 (04:34):
And with those iniche boats sailing out around the place, I.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Tell you now or never, and lay my sword for
the devil. If I'm not saying through.

bit of money in the house.
