I never knew a good deal about Uncle Large because
he was born in eighteen hundred and forty five, which
could make him ninety seven years old.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
He was my father's great uncle. He was a kind

little brown painted a house on Margaret Street, never.
Speaker 1 (02:28):

was a little bitty kid, having my first drink in
Uncle Live's house Sweedish punning Man and Doug at Christmas time,
hopping full of raisins and nuts and spiky.
Speaker 4 (02:44):

Speaker 1 (06:10):
You're excrewy, you know, feeling around with at this psychic stuff.

What's the matter? En?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
God?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
And I looked up, startled as the old man spoke
in the doorway. Once I stepped forward, his hand out
stretched to help me support Georgie.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
The fingers of his right hand were still cranched into
the horns of the devil, into the charm against the
evil eyes. And then he opened his hands, and Georgie
straightened up in my arms and drew a long breath
and smiled at me.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
But I looked into her face and there wasn't any smiling.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Her eyes.
Speaker 11 (07:34):
Talk a lot on my eyes, and I looked.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Deep into her unsmiling eyes, and I felt my own
right hand twitch, and I looked down at it.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
My fore finger and little finger had formed the shape
of the charm against the evil eye. I lay awake
a long time that night. Georgie, as long as he's
been married, has always.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Insisted on sleeping with a light on him room, and well,
after all these years, I've gotten used to it too.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
But she had a most disconcerting about the words, the
disconsidering way a sleeping the way they used to bottom me.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
At first when I woke up on the knife and
turned my head to hers on the pillow beside me.
But she's left with her eyes open. No, no, no, no,
don't be still. He not wide open, but not quite close.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Georgie was a very good looking woman, mind you, but
asleep with her eyelids not quite meeting, and just a
little of the pupils showing. He's gonna be staring well
like like I didn't wanna tell.
Speaker 10 (08:38):
You what it looks like if you've never seen it.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Oh yes, he'd be sound asleep. Sure. We used to
laugh about it until I got used to it.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
He said.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Lots of people sleep that way.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I don't know I'd drop, so it didn't bother me anymore,
Like I said, but well, this time i'd my eyes
and then i'd have to open 'em again, and there'd
be that glitter between her eyelids and the.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Light of the lamp like And I don't know why
I did it. It sounds foolish, but and I made
the cornity diablo at.
Speaker 10 (09:17):
It, and I stopped breathing, and I thought I'd never
get my thing to the park.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
They would cramped, see if unwilling. But in a couple
of seconds, I guess, I managed to pry him apart,
and Georgie started breathing again, and she smiled and turned his.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Face away from me.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
And for a long time I say there, listening to
a soft, even breathing beside me, and staying.
Speaker 10 (09:47):
Over and over to myself to prot tat me. I
loved you.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
And believed me I did love her.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
But a thought in crawling in from the back of
my my mind, and it took hold in my brain.
The first thing I.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Knew I was in those dreadful minutes between being awake
and falling asleep, and I thought, George.
Speaker 10 (10:10):
I loved you, and I can hear you whenever I want.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And at last I fell asleep, and I.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Dreamed about a woman in an old fashion and purple
velvet cast woman who laughed in strange ways.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
And I could never see your face. Woman's a purple velvet.
And then the morning came. It seemed all confused in
my mind.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
And Georgie was cheerful and happy in the kitchen as
we ate breakfast together, and I guess I held her hand,
thinking there was a lot of nonsense.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
A lot of bad dreams, a lot of nightmares of it,
and he was alright, of course, and it was really
quite pleasant after two of us. And it was that
way for a week.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Maybe we did a seance for missus Wester's and Georgie
remember to call the little girl Rosalind, and old missus
Uh and I forget her name, cried in the dark,
asked questions about how Rosamond was doing in the Great Beyond,
and Georgia made her happy with her answers, and we
made seventy five dollars out of that.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
She bought a new hat that was just a half
brim with.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Flowers on it, not at all the kind of hatchet
expect the spare.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
A medium to wear it, so had one on.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
As I said, we hardly ever saw Uncle Eliza used
to get out and make his own coffee first thing
in the morning, long.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Before we woke up. Then he go sit in the backyard,
smoked the garden read.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
So this one morning were sitting there looking at the
papers and being quietly happy, and Georgia got up there
for another couple of coffee.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
She stopped at the back door and looked out. Yeah,
that uncle large and mohammick is me.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I don't say him.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
And he's probably putting around with the flowers.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Nope, not in the garden.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
I stand.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I was a lot happen. Maybe he's still asleep.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
He's always up to a well.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Let him steep.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
He's an old man, I.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
See, I don't know, you know, nice, something might be nothing.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I see if he h right, he's a steep, don't
wake him.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Hm s yeah, I guess here, what's the matter?
Speaker 10 (12:26):
What's the matter?
Speaker 12 (12:28):
Something?
Speaker 9 (12:29):
The matter was nice?
Speaker 10 (12:30):
I'm collided.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
I'm he's had a stroke, That's what it is.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
It was all right, gents.
Speaker 11 (12:35):
When I came in the room, he was breathing just
like a baby.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
And then when I came over and looked at him,
and he just kind of dashing.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
That awful worked him on his slap.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Jen Senla.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
You you looked at him.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Ah right, he was ninety seven years old.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
He was entitled. There strokes.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
How do I know if she did it? How do
I know anything?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
How do I know When I pointed my finger at
her that night she stopped breathing. All I can do
is tell you what happened. No, he wasn't dead. We
took him to the hospital and he was there a
long time. The doctor told me he was perfectly natural
the stroke. He'd be all right for a while. I said,
let me'd have another and net'd be that. So I
(13:22):
said to myself, sure it's naturally. It's nothing magic. There's
nothing or you know, people about these things. Georgia couldn't
be the blame. Not even that she was, which I
said to myself, is chilly.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
She couldn't help it.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
She she didn't mean anything.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
She liked the old man, all right. Do you remember
that woman in the purple dress. I dreamed about the
purple velvet dress, the woman in Florence.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Hoped you.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
M George, I said, one day, Georgie the funniest thing.
I'm dreaming about that purples a dress.
Speaker 4 (14:01):

Speaker 7 (14:02):
You remember in the chest. Yeah, that there's a lot
of stuff in there.
Speaker 1 (14:06):

Funny about him and that Joe had done. Yeah, you
must have been awful in love with her. Yeah, dreams
of funny jin m.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
How do you mean what?
Speaker 8 (14:18):
No, they mean different things. Huh, I wondered, Maybe you're
dreaming about her.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
I didn't say I dreamed about her. I said the dress.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Oh, maybe that's the symbol.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Maybe that means.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Whybe he's trying to die?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Why did he telling me suff Maybe just sent me
in the not monkey with a chest.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You might be trying to tell us, Oh, stopped George Margins.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
I don't know. It's there's a lot of things we
don't understand.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
And then I got mad and I said, oh, that
pat stake. Let's get out of that stupid Then that
they're taking us all money. Georgie said it wasn't stupid,
and so we got.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Into a fight.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I got up and put on my hat and walked
out of the house. And when I came home that night,
I walked into the bedroom and.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
There was a woman in a purple velvet dress lying
on Georgie's bed, and when I saw it.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Was Georgie, a wave of raid just swept over me
like a hot flood. And I slapped her and he
woke up and flew with me.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What was wrong with us?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
He hit me, and I think I tried the choker.
We yelled at each other like a pair of wildcats.
She scratched my face.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I yanked her head on. She stuck on me again,
and then I, I don't know how I did it.
Something somebody seemed to be pulling at my hand. Georgie
screamed again and fell down.
Speaker 10 (15:34):
On the floor.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I looked at my hand where it hurt.
Speaker 13 (15:39):
My two fingers were outstretched in miss shape of the
devil's horn, and I I picked her up and put
her on the bed, put the purple velvet dress off her,
and as it slipped over her head, she opened her eyes.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
She smiled at me, and I.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I just knocked down on the wongside the bed, put
my arms around it. Hadn't cried like a ba.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
And then a sew nights later we brought Unclaze home
from the hospital. I put him to bed. Georgie went
out in the kitchen to make coffee. She she knew,
Uncle I was nervous with her around. Georgie was a
good kid, like I told you so hindsight on the
edge of the bed.

Georgie, you don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Stop stop fly, stop it fly, Georgie.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I tell you that's something choked off my voice. I tried,
but I couldn't say another words.
Speaker 11 (20:24):
Over in the corner, I could see a little pale,
purplish light, and I could.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Hear Georgie morning. And I couldn't move hand or foot.
It was but a like something holding me by the arms.
I heard Uncle Large called to me. Then, But as
you're doing an Uncle Lije.
Speaker 11 (20:39):
Door opened slowly, and I saw something release my arms then,
and I reached for the light switch.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
And told me that room was bright again.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Georgie was huddling a chair across the room or her
eyelids nearly closed, and the bare light glittered between them,
and she was breathing heavily out of the open door.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Beside me, they stood a tall rooman in.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
A purple velbow dress.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
And I heard her laugh, and she turned to look
at me, and she had no faith. She ringed her
arm toward me, and I felt my own right arm
lifting and my.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Fingers squirming into the shape of the corner, to the outlow,
into the charm against my wife, who had only tried
to be charitable to one old man, and they wo
had brought his death upon him, And so I brought
my wife's death upon her too, and that old house
because he struggled to her feet the two steps toward
(21:47):
my outstretched fingers, and said.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Then, starling very clearly, And so and I felt something
soft clinging against me.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
I dropped my eyes, and I with a purple dress
slowly sinking empty for the floor at my feet, and
there was a sound of soft, distant.
Speaker 10 (22:12):
Laughter in my ears.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
And so.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I'm here and to I canna take me out, and
I won't be coming back.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
How could I explain to dead people with a lot
of horrible violent death.
Speaker 5 (22:32):

And Uncle Live.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
I never knew a good deal about Uncle Large because
he was born in eighteen hundred and forty five, which
could make him ninety seven years old.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
He was my father's great uncle. He was a kind
of recluse when I.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Was a kid, tall, skinny old Swede, lived on a lone,
little brown painted a house on Margaret Street, never.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Went off without a shawl around his head.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
But he always kind of liked me, even when I
was a little bitty kid, having my first drink in
Uncle Live's house Sweedish punning Man and Doug at Christmas time,
hopping full of raisins and nuts and spiky.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Quite a thing gorug, especially for a ten year old Bratton. Well,
George and I had quite a discussion.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
About Uncle Large when he got the letters saying he
was coming to live with him.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Well, he was.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Gonna have to look after him.

Speaker 7 (02:57):
That probably he hasn't got all his buttery.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
No, he's got good sense. She's only ninety seven.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
He comes some dollar now where they lived to be
a million years old, and drive up and go away.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
He got any money?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah, most tests suddenly go to an old folks home
or something, at least the door to the old folks.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Are you crazy?
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Hm? I wonder how much he got it?
Speaker 9 (03:15):
I say, no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
That was the servile thing to say. Poor old guy
all along.
Speaker 4 (03:20):

a kid. That he won't cost much to keep.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
You're excrewy, you know, feeling around with at this psychic stuff.

I know why. I know Gens's filling all right.
Speaker 9 (06:44):

Speaker 1 (06:50):

Speaker 7 (06:55):
What's the matter? En?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
God?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
And I looked up, startled as the old man spoke
in the doorway. Once I stepped forward, his hand out
stretched to help me support Georgie.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
The fingers of his right hand were still cranched into
the horns of the devil, into the charm against the
evil eyes. And then he opened his hands, and Georgie
straightened up in my arms and drew a long breath
and smiled at me.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
But I looked into her face and there wasn't any smiling.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Her eyes.
Speaker 11 (07:34):
Talk a lot on my eyes, and I looked.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Deep into her unsmiling eyes, and I felt my own
right hand twitch, and I looked down at it.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
My fore finger and little finger had formed the shape
of the charm against the evil eye. I lay awake
a long time that night. Georgie, as long as he's
been married, has always.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Insisted on sleeping with a light on him room, and well,
after all these years, I've gotten used to it too.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
But she had a most disconcerting about the words, the
disconsidering way a sleeping the way they used to bottom me.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
At first when I woke up on the knife and
turned my head to hers on the pillow beside me.
But she's left with her eyes open. No, no, no, no,
don't be still. He not wide open, but not quite close.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Georgie was a very good looking woman, mind you, but
asleep with her eyelids not quite meeting, and just a
little of the pupils showing. He's gonna be staring well
like like I didn't wanna tell.
Speaker 10 (08:38):
You what it looks like if you've never seen it.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Oh yes, he'd be sound asleep. Sure. We used to
laugh about it until I got used to it.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
He said.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Lots of people sleep that way.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I don't know I'd drop, so it didn't bother me anymore,
Like I said, but well, this time i'd my eyes
and then i'd have to open 'em again, and there'd
be that glitter between her eyelids and the.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Light of the lamp like And I don't know why
I did it. It sounds foolish, but and I made
the cornity diablo at.
Speaker 10 (09:17):
It, and I stopped breathing, and I thought I'd never
get my thing to the park.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
They would cramped, see if unwilling. But in a couple
of seconds, I guess, I managed to pry him apart,
and Georgie started breathing again, and she smiled and turned his.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Face away from me.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
And for a long time I say there, listening to
a soft, even breathing beside me, and staying.
Speaker 10 (09:47):
Over and over to myself to prot tat me. I
loved you.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
And believed me I did love her.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
But a thought in crawling in from the back of
my my mind, and it took hold in my brain.
The first thing I.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Knew I was in those dreadful minutes between being awake
and falling asleep, and I thought, George.
Speaker 10 (10:10):
I loved you, and I can hear you whenever I want.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
And at last I fell asleep, and I.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Dreamed about a woman in an old fashion and purple
velvet cast woman who laughed in strange ways.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
And I could never see your face. Woman's a purple velvet.
And then the morning came. It seemed all confused in
my mind.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
And Georgie was cheerful and happy in the kitchen as
we ate breakfast together, and I guess I held her hand,
thinking there was a lot of nonsense.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
A lot of bad dreams, a lot of nightmares of it,
and he was alright, of course, and it was really
quite pleasant after two of us. And it was that
way for a week.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Maybe we did a seance for missus Wester's and Georgie
remember to call the little girl Rosalind, and old missus
Uh and I forget her name, cried in the dark,
asked questions about how Rosamond was doing in the Great Beyond,
and Georgia made her happy with her answers, and we
made seventy five dollars out of that.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
She bought a new hat that was just a half
brim with.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Flowers on it, not at all the kind of hatchet
expect the spare.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
A medium to wear it, so had one on.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
As I said, we hardly ever saw Uncle Eliza used
to get out and make his own coffee first thing
in the morning, long.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Before we woke up. Then he go sit in the backyard,
smoked the garden read.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
So this one morning were sitting there looking at the
papers and being quietly happy, and Georgia got up there
for another couple of coffee.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
She stopped at the back door and looked out. Yeah,
that uncle large and mohammick is me.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I don't say him.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
And he's probably putting around with the flowers.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Nope, not in the garden.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
I stand.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I was a lot happen. Maybe he's still asleep.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
He's always up to a well.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Let him steep.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
He's an old man, I.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
See, I don't know, you know, nice, something might be nothing.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I see if he h right, he's a steep, don't
wake him.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Hm s yeah, I guess here, what's the matter?
Speaker 10 (12:26):
What's the matter?
Speaker 12 (12:28):
Something?
Speaker 9 (12:29):
The matter was nice?
Speaker 10 (12:30):
I'm collided.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
I'm he's had a stroke, That's what it is.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
It was all right, gents.
Speaker 11 (12:35):
When I came in the room, he was breathing just
like a baby.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
And then when I came over and looked at him,
and he just kind of dashing.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
That awful worked him on his slap.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Jen Senla.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
You you looked at him.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Ah right, he was ninety seven years old.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
He was entitled. There strokes.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
How do I know if she did it? How do
I know anything?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
How do I know When I pointed my finger at
her that night she stopped breathing. All I can do
is tell you what happened. No, he wasn't dead. We
took him to the hospital and he was there a
long time. The doctor told me he was perfectly natural
the stroke. He'd be all right for a while. I said,
let me'd have another and net'd be that. So I
(13:22):
said to myself, sure it's naturally. It's nothing magic. There's
nothing or you know, people about these things. Georgia couldn't
be the blame. Not even that she was, which I
said to myself, is chilly.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
She couldn't help it.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
She she didn't mean anything.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
She liked the old man, all right. Do you remember
that woman in the purple dress. I dreamed about the
purple velvet dress, the woman in Florence.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Hoped you.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
M George, I said, one day, Georgie the funniest thing.
I'm dreaming about that purples a dress.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I told you about.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
You remember in the chest. Yeah, that there's a lot
of stuff in there.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
It's heavy, all right.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Funny about him and that Joe had done. Yeah, you
must have been awful in love with her. Yeah, dreams
of funny jin m.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
How do you mean what?
Speaker 8 (14:18):
No, they mean different things. Huh, I wondered, Maybe you're
dreaming about her.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
I didn't say I dreamed about her. I said the dress.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Oh, maybe that's the symbol.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Maybe that means.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Whybe he's trying to die?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Why did he telling me suff Maybe just sent me
in the not monkey with a chest.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You might be trying to tell us, Oh, stopped George Margins.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
I don't know. It's there's a lot of things we
don't understand.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
And then I got mad and I said, oh, that
pat stake. Let's get out of that stupid Then that
they're taking us all money. Georgie said it wasn't stupid,
and so we got.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Into a fight.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I got up and put on my hat and walked
out of the house. And when I came home that night,
I walked into the bedroom and.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
There was a woman in a purple velvet dress lying
on Georgie's bed, and when I saw it.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Was Georgie, a wave of raid just swept over me
like a hot flood. And I slapped her and he
woke up and flew with me.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What was wrong with us?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
He hit me, and I think I tried the choker.
We yelled at each other like a pair of wildcats.
She scratched my face.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I yanked her head on. She stuck on me again,
and then I, I don't know how I did it.
Something somebody seemed to be pulling at my hand. Georgie
screamed again and fell down.
Speaker 10 (15:34):
On the floor.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I looked at my hand where it hurt.
Speaker 13 (15:39):
My two fingers were outstretched in miss shape of the
devil's horn, and I I picked her up and put
her on the bed, put the purple velvet dress off her,
and as it slipped over her head, she opened her eyes.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
She smiled at me, and I.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I just knocked down on the wongside the bed, put
my arms around it. Hadn't cried like a ba.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
And then a sew nights later we brought Unclaze home
from the hospital. I put him to bed. Georgie went
out in the kitchen to make coffee. She she knew,
Uncle I was nervous with her around. Georgie was a
good kid, like I told you so hindsight on the
edge of the bed.
