present George Edwards in Dr Jeco andmister Hyde. He said, as they'd
set the dogs and you didn't.I, Oh, it wasn't as bad

(01:19):
as that. The dogs came runningout when I came to the gate,
but mister Tolney soon called them up. Oh and how did the old man
Guichy? Well, he was asleepwhen I got there. Not him.
He sits in that chair of hisfor the fire, pretending he hears nothing,
but there's no to skill escape hisyears. All the same, he's
a very sick man, and notdenying that. Estra will not be burdened

(01:45):
much longer with him unless her looksdead out. Why do you think she'll
be glad when her father dies?It will give her a chance to get
away from that farm there, which'llbe more than she's done these five years,
hardly set their foot off the place, and young he struck that trouble
of his? Is that five yearsago? Oh so you know about it?

(02:07):
Then? Yes, you don't say, well, well, the last
one i'd suspect of having any truckwith a man of his kidney never claptizes
on such an evil looking customer inall my life. I remember well the
time he first came in here.Young Sammy and one or two others and

(02:30):
myself were sitting in the tap room. It were hot summer afternoon, and
we was mighty glad of a potof Landlord's eel. We was talking about
nothing in particular, and all ofa sudden a shadow fell across the room
as he stood in the door.I don't know why it was, but

(02:52):
something in the very shape of himmade us all stopped talking in the stare
sort of we're like, when doyour father going to start harvest? And
the apples and his orchards and Friday. Maybe he were talking about taking them
to Bodman and trying his hand atselling them around the houses. Hisself.

(03:13):
I was wondering if I could maybeborrow his cat. Then pigs of mine
is eating their heads off. IfI could take them into market maybe next
week. Hell, it won't beold Badger you're speaking up about, or
must be a stranger. I've notheard Badger bart like that before. Well,

(03:38):
gentlemen, why are you staring atpray? Continue drinking your beer?
No harm meant we We're just struckrather a heap by seeing a stranger down
this way? Whose dog is it? Mine? And I'd be a pleased
if you'd call him up? Hismanners aren't getty quicker on his mask?

(04:00):
Badger, don't look out, SammyHaley and then oh, I can't think
what's come over him? Stop it, Badger? Oh bad luck to you?
Will you do as I tell you? Badger? Let me by look
what you're doing? Stop it?Do you want to kill the dog?

(04:20):
Grab this sting off? Now youwhat sort of a man wid you just
strike a dog like that? Whatsort of a dog do you peak that
he'll attack a puppet stranger in sucha way. I've never seen him to
the like of it afore, AndI imagine after the lesson I talked to
him, he won't make the samemistake again. I'll trouble you to hand
me back my stick on the folly, Master and dog both now fin juny,

(04:46):
now all back, sham all be. He's not worth wasting your strength
on. If it comes to strengthyou two puss old scarecrow. There are
other things besides brawn, and seeyou I there be, there be common
decency. But what of a manlike you? Know that? Come sham

(05:06):
rad. Let's leave him be inthe tent of the poor dog. He's
got some bones broke. By thelook of him. You can well imagine,
sir, and that we took nogrape likun to the fella at that
No, I don't suppose you did. Sam told me that it was all

(05:28):
he could do to keep his handsoff his throat, and seeing what happened
afterwards, maybe it were pretty weheld him back that day. Still,
if you hadn't, it might havebeen worse for Sam, worse what happened.
In any case, maybe you don'tknow the story, then I know
some of it what I'd told you. I'll be bound well you tell me.

(05:51):
I'd like to know what people sayabout him down here, the names
black enough to call him by ifever he showed his face around these parts
that is not likely. You knowhe's wanted to murder, murder, I'd
want it for murder. You don'tget much news of the outside world down

(06:12):
here, not much. Sometimes apaper gets brought back when one of the
lads goes to market. Would thisbe summat worth knowing about I'd wanted for
murder. You don't seem sorry.Sorry. If they had public hangings and
I could go to see that fellowin the gallery, I'd walk one hundred

(06:32):
miles rheumatism and all. So he'spretty much hated around here, hated.
It were a bad day for mastonBridge when I'd showed his ugly face about
the priest who weren't long before itbegan to make trouble. A day or
two arter he beat Sam's poor dogjust about it was yes, mother storm

(07:04):
coming up, go out and drivingthe geese. If then young Goslin's get
with them. But I'll catch acold and die. Just wait a minute
till I put the last of thebread in the oven. Oh, I'll
do it. I'll do it.You've a waste to go, and then
clouds be comin up fest. Besure you take the pasty out first.
Then Sam'll be calling and on hisway back from Bodmin, and I promised

(07:24):
him he'd have one, ah,you and your sam Tralonnie, if you'd
be beacon pasties for Master Wallace.I don't care for Master Wallace, and
that's an end to it. Then, Martha, pity if you only knew
which side your bread's buttered? Didyou when your married father? He were
a poor man, weren't he?And shouldn't that be a lesson? Told
you? Look at the way I'vebeen slavin all mid life, and here's

(07:46):
your chance to get yourself fixed up, smoking comfortable by marrying a fine,
upstanding man like you. Saiah Wallace. We're two wives buried already. Well,
I've no mind to be the third. Now there's the bread, all
needed into loads and ready for theoven. You take care of it and
let me take care of who Imarried, young Stam. I'll bring you

(08:07):
nothing but a load of children anda life of work. Where did you
drive the geese this morning into farand my hustling's field. There's a tunnel
pickens for them where they cut thegrain last week. Then I'll go and
fetch them back. Mind, don'tlet that passy burn now, I mayn't
a prove of your marrying, youngstam, But I got too much pride
to let a passy burn shoe shoeget along there with your shoe. Can

(08:35):
I give you any happy young lady? How you frightened me? I didn't
see you there behind the Greek.I was looking for the place to shelter
from the storm. Young East,don't seem to monte go home. I
can't think what's come over them?Every man just going in different directions.
Look at that whole ganda there andhim being over this path a hundred times.

(08:56):
Let me do that idea, that'sthe way shoot. Thank you for
your help, sir. I thoughti'd never get come home before the storm.
It's coming up fast. Now?Would you care to step inside a
while and take a cup of teaand maybe summer tweet. That's my mother's

(09:18):
place just over there. If yourmother wouldn't mind your bringing in a stranger,
I tell her how you helped mewith the geese. Them geese a
mother's pride. You send them tomarket, do you hi top pricey or
with stetch two? Then perhaps shewouldn't mind giving me a cup of tea
and shelter when the rain came thatshe won't. Mother will be right pleased

(09:41):
to see a stranger. We hardlyever see anybody but ourselves from one years
then to the other, Mother,Mother, are you there? Yes?
Here, here's a gentleman that's helpedme home with the geese. Irsed him
in out of the storm. Goodday. I hope you don't mind my
coming in in this way, nota bit of it. Won't you be

(10:01):
taken off your hat and coat andand the staff you've got off around your
face. It's nice and wall bythe stove, and you'll not have need
of them. Yes, I supposeI had better take them off. Why
what's the matter? Nothing, nothing, sir, it's my face. Say,

(10:28):
if you've seen it outside, perhapsyou mightn't have invited me in.
Why whatever makes you say so?Think a commasire man. Fetch the gentleman
in a chair and wet the tea. I've got some factorum buns in the
oven. Litill be out in aminute or two. That's a fine pasty
you've got over there. You know, it's years since I had a pastie.

(10:52):
That's ours. Bake back for atwit heavy coming here on his way
home from bud See, nothing wouldpersuade you to part with it. I
suppose part with it? Why,I've just got a fancy for it,
she da especially for sun Sam.I wonder is he the young gentleman?

(11:16):
I met a teal or so agodown at the Marston Bridge, A tall
young fellow with ready hair on youthat'll be the same, And so you
baked especially for him. Well,now suppose I were to offer you a

(11:39):
guinea for it? Yes, aguinea? You think I'm mad? Eh,
I paid more than that for ameal in under a score of times.
But I'll wager it hasn't been asrare retreat as a pasty baked for
Sambagy, sweetheart mother, if you'reserious, I was never more so.

(12:03):
Now is it a bargain? No, don't be silly. What's a pesty?
And he means a lot to us? But sounds coming in the gate
now I can hear its harsh ashood. Excellent, excellent, here's the
guinea. Now let me have mypasty. I'd like nothing better than to

(12:24):
have young Sham come here and seeme just starting to seek my teeth into
his supper. Let me face thedoor so that I can get a good
view of his face. This isgoing to be good, almost as good
as the pasty. H Ladies andgentlemen, we now present George Edwards in

(14:26):
Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde. Iwon't let you work now, let me
eat a pasty that I've paid agive. You've got some other reason for

(14:50):
this. You're trying to get backon Sam for something. Let's come ovie
here. I don't know, mother, but I don't like this man.
It was you who brought him toyes, but it were almost dark outside,
and how could I see what hewas like with him or wrapped up
in a scarf hop over his face? Fatty, you're talking about anyone to
think the gentleman was someone they wouldn'tcare to ask inside you didn't like him

(15:13):
either, to you see the guineathat he has in his purse. Shame
on your mother, is that theway you judge a man? And shame
on you that you're top to yourown mother. Such a way. Sit
you down, sir, beside thefire, and I'll be making you some
tea further you can go and tellyoung Sam to come some other time.
If that's a pesty he's looking for, what's this it is my name,

(15:35):
I can hear, Missus Cora.What what's that fellow doing here teaching your
pesty? As you can see,Sam, come outside with me. I
want to talk to you. Sam, Yes, go along with a young
man. Your pesty's gone. I'mafraid I bought it for a guinea shout.

(15:56):
Don't you go make him see himin the house. I'll not have
it, you understand, Please someplease? Oh? All right then,
but it sticks in me. Foughtto go taking dirt from him. I
hope I won't cause you any serioustrouble between your daughter and her admire Missus

(16:18):
Coole, it won't be troubling metoo much if he never darkens the door
again. Don't you like him?Oh, he's well enough, But she's
thrown herself away on him, andthat's the truth of it. Inward way,
he could do better for herself thanSam if she don't mind too.
So she has more than one admirerthen, Oh, my furs is the
prettiest self of thirty miles around.She could take a pick even Josiah Wallace

(16:45):
wood web War and him with thefinest farm in the district of three houses
and a shipping bartment. Quite amatch that fair makes me mad to think
of that young Sam standing in away, And that's the truth of it.
So you wouldn't be sorry if hewas removed. Don't wish him any
harm. But I don't want tosee my girl went to a poor man

(17:07):
the same as I was. Well, we'll have to see what we can
do. We'll have to see.I'm not saying that the widow cool weren't
a lot to blame for what happened, Fair daft. She must have been
to be took in the scoundrel likehide. But was she taken in by

(17:33):
there? Be right? She weredazzled by his guineas, if you be
asking me, and the good Lordknows he had the power of money in
his purse. Hold your noise,woman. The doctor wants to hear all

(17:53):
about young Sam and the fella Hide, don't you, sir, Yes,
yes, let me hear it allwell as I was seen, the window
cores were fair dazzled, braise guineasand brazen it were. And at her
age too, he could have knockedme down with a feather when he moved

(18:14):
these traps out of this here inand went off to live with him.
He did too and he went offfrom the inn hon their invitation, and
the how did the rest of thevillage take it? Oh? It were
open scandals, it were when shebegan to wear them flash clothes bought if

(18:37):
you please, at Josiah Wallace's starin Badman. Why things reached a pretty
pass the poor last thursar could scarcehold of her head? And why not?
Isn't it time I had something decentto wear instead of the old I've

(19:00):
had to put off with all mylife. But mother, what will folks
be saying? They'll be saying thatfine feathers make figns. It's no doubt.
Well let them as long as thefeathers be on my hat. Oh
you can't, mother, what's clothhere? How can you do such things?
F things? Take presents from misterHyde. Don't you know what folks

(19:22):
be saying? Let them? I'vewanted nice things all my life, never
had a chance of getting them.Do you think I'm going to pass them
by now because of a lot ofwagon toes? Patania bonnet and let's be
getting up pass and don't blaggative folks, comes late, I'll not be going
with you. What that you heard? Patania? Things this minute, or

(19:44):
do I have to fetch your slapacross the air to remind you im your
mother to take more than that?To make me know that the woman's standing
up for me now breasting them clothesthat she got in such a way as
any mother of mine. That'd bea fuss. No use blubber on that
that I'll have no child of mangive me a lip while she's living in
my house. Very well, thenI'll go, y'all that either that man

(20:11):
high goes or I do. AndHi, you miss for such yourself of
in judgment to your mother? Wouldyou be asking me to condone the things
I knows are going on? Doyou think I'm blind? And death?
And the asking you to mind yourown business? What my mother does and
what folks say about her is mybusiness, and if I can want to
bring it to your senses, I'lldo it. You'd be a gale veterans
to come to your senses yourself.Look at the finding the silk he brought

(20:34):
your home two days ago, andwhat did you do with it? Put
it in the fire the same asI burn any other. The the most
things he brings into the house,that man's a field there's not been ought
to happeness or peace or good aboutthe place ever since the first minute he
said, But here, didn't heand Sam getting the hosts right away on
account of the way you beat thepoor dog? And what's that got to

(20:55):
do with you and me? Hashe ever said a word that's out of
place or been anything except perfect gentleman? All the tin he's been stopping here
with me? And have we doneanything but quarrel? And have your feeling
between us verses live peaceable all theseyears? And will Sam come about the
place when there's any danger of comingface to face with him? Maybe in
time to call me. You'll begretfulto enter that if you think you'll get

(21:17):
me to marry Josiah Wallace that way? Is that the reason that you had
him here to see? Because youknew what had caused trouble between me and
Sam? I had him here?They can't you? After JA paying good
money for the room, and Iwas sick of sweating and slaving on the
pharm for every penny I've got.I'm right glad I wasn't the chance of
getting so easy? What a pleasantdoste Mother and daughter exchanging a few home

(21:48):
to you, devil, devil?Do you see what you've done? But
perhaps you could reveal some hidden meaningsto this pretty look at her? Is
she the same woman that you sawwhen you first came here? Not exactly,
But I can't say that the changeisn't for the better, can't sho?

(22:11):
Do you think she's better in themclothes, in that hat and her
face all painted? And thousand?Oh? Who can you? How can
you? Why did you want tocome and bring such sorrow onto us?
What can you want for making afool out of her? I have my
own peculiar methods of enjoyment. Ihaven't never hated anyone in all my life

(22:32):
before, but I hate you somuch that I could take this knife and
stick into that back heart of yours. Suppose here's a boy style, I
say the father. So you meantit? Did you? You tried to

(22:52):
scamp me? Lord? Let mecall, Let me good until you get
down on your knees and beg mypardon and say you're sorry. I won't.
I'm not sorry. I wish Ikill you. I'm very strong.
I can break this wrist of yourI shouldn't like to have to do it,

(23:15):
but I will let the don't dothat shit out of my way?
You rattle for and now my prettylittle fiction. Will you get down on
your knees and do as I say? No, No, I won't.
I hate you. That's better.No, we're getting into it. Down

(23:41):
you go, both knees. Nowgo a head on the ground, right
down until it touches my foot,and one twist more and that should be
enough what it would be. Now, say you're sorry, and I let

(24:03):
you go. I'm sorry. You'rea nice kind gentleman, and I'm grateful
for what you've done for mother andmyself. You're a nice kind gentlemen,
and I'm grateful when you've done.Let me go. I can't stand the

(24:26):
bay. I say the rest ofit. Come on, say the rest
of it for mother and myself.Mother and myself, they try, No,
let you go, and you couldn'tget up, so touch me.

(24:47):
Don't touch me as bad as him. I never wants the either of your
side. Where you're going. Lether go, Let her go. She
can't go far. She hasn't diedthe clothes on money or how could you
do it too? She's right,you are a fiend. Oh how could
I ever have had anything to dowith you, because you're a contemptible,

(25:11):
money grabbing, unscrupulous hag. Whereyou're going to pack my things? I've
had enough of simple village life.You and your charming the regrettably straight laced
daughter have begun to bore me.You can't you can't just go up and
leave me like this? What gaveyou the idea that I do anything else?

(25:33):
I'll admit it may be a littleunpleasant for you. After all,
I imagine that your neighbors must havea very fair idea as to the source
of your sudden prosperity, But thatwill pass along with the prosperity you'll try

(25:55):
to stab me with you allow me, my dear good. I'm glad I
didn't have to use the same harshmethods I was forced to adopt about further
and now, well I think ofit, I believe I'll have that ruby
ring off your finger. It belongedto my father. Can't imagine what made

(26:19):
me give it to you? You, well, you've got your ring,
Now get out of this house.What once? As soon as I've got
my things with the greatest of place. You've been listening to the G.
