Speaker 2 (00:43):
Quiet Please.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Fortunight is called not Responsible after thirty years, I suppose
I'm glad that the other again.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
It's close to Midsnumber's eve again.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I've got a date for that night. I've been thinking
about the date all the time I've been and got
more planning how to get back to the circle and everything.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
And those three years have gone pretty slowly, pretty slowly.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Listen. The British prison's not like the ones at home.
They don't go around here.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
They're fair all right, I suppose, But British prison food
isn't exactly what i'd order, and those gray uniforms stamps
with a broad air or pretty pressing in form wise.
I was in for stealing stealing a wrist watch to
be exact, three years ago, just about this time of
the year, stealing a wrist watch off of skeleton's arm.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Sure, I don't mind telling you.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I was in the OWI last war. I'd been in
the other war first in the British Army. Oh, I'm
an American. I just got kind of carried away in
nineteen fourteen, and when this one came along, I.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Put in for WI and made it. They sent me
to England.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
I'd always wanted to come back to England all those
thirty years since I first came here and enlisted in
the coilis the King's on Yorkshire Light Infantry, Koyli Coiley.
But you know how it is. You're in the advertising business.
You've got a counsel to look after, you go fishing
in the summer with a client and all that.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So the w I was what you might.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Call a heaven sent opportunity. Well, anyway, forget the war
if you can, I wanna tell you about Midsummer's Day
nineteen forty five.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
This end of the war was over.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Your tea, and so I put in for some.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Leaves, as I've been planning to do for the four
years i'd been in Britain. So I got it easily
enough and I set out for the Circle, the Circles.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I'll tell you about that in a minute.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
You wanted to know why I got put in jail, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So when I got to the circle, it was it was.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
The morning of Midsommer's Day, the twenty fourth day of June,
and England or quarter day the morning after Midsummer Eves. Well,
(03:45):
I hardly recognized the place well as I knew it.
At first I thought they were begging some kind of
fortification or something. And then I remember that the war
was over, and why should they be digging the air
each other's or whatever it was now?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
And when I went closer, I discovered what was going on.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
That's an old Roman camp or something.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Sir, there's found some old Roman soldiers.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Am there?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
My heart turned over old Roman soldiers, a Roman camps.
I remember the Ninth Spanish legion Tarterius Claudius, the Ninth
snails the other Romans called them. And I remember the
motto on the eagle standards of the Ninth, the bronze
(04:32):
ribbon below the STQR but a gami, the words the
Ninth cherished and thought for slow but sure, the Ninth
that helped Us e Correacticus, king of the Britains, nineteen
short years after Christ was crucified, That stayed in Britain
almost four hundred years afterwards, until the the very language
(04:55):
of Rome disappeared, disappeared among them except for the commands
of the centurion to for.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And I remembered so many things. And I drew nearer
to the excavation.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
Where a couple of navvies were handing up a.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Long canvas wrapped thing from the muddy clay.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
And I wasn't surprised at all, and the manner seemed
to be in charge unwrapped the canvas to reveal a
skeleton of a man, his short bronze story to his side,
and on his left arm dangling loosely from the muddy
white owner.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
An Elgin wristwatch of the vintage.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Of nineteen fifty. Yes, of course, the archaeologists were thunderstruct
No nobody had lost to watch in the pit.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Now.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
It couldn't be anything for the skeleton's own watch.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
They couldn't flip it.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Off the bones of the hand, the metal band was
too small, and it had corrodas of the It couldn't
be unstapped. Nobody thought to ask the American in the
OWI uniform if he knew anything about it. I could
have told him a lot about it. I could have
told him what they discovered as they cleaned the watch
(06:16):
and wound it up. I could have told him who
the dead man was. And I could have told him
that It wasn't his watch, after all, it was.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Mine, so.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I stole it.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Not of course they caught me, and that was three
years ago.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Today they let me out of Dartma with a little
time off the good behavior, And tonight I'm going to
find that watch and I'm gonna steal it again.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Then I'm going to clean it very.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Very carefully, and I'm coming back to the circle. And
when the watch is watch and running, I.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Hope it will run. That's been underground there for thirty years,
or is it.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
The Roman legions left Britain in the year four or eleven,
maybe that's more than fifteen.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
Hundred years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Lance Corporal Edward Mullen was my friend.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I was the only American in the battalion, and the
hard headed Yorkshire dalesmen don't take up easily with foreigners.
But Mullen, who had been my drill master, took rather
a liking to me. Somehow than between the chores of
slow pipes and farm fours to a deep quick march,
we found quite a good deal in the way of
common interest, particularly English history. We could see the powers
(07:54):
of york Minster from our drill ground, and but I
wish you could meet Edward Mullen.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
All right, lad, the old wall that sever is built
in the year two hundred and night and straight across Yon.
Feel over there, yay, York's always been a garrison town.
There were severus and then Constantious about hundred years later, and.
Speaker 9 (08:16):
Constantius he died by yonder plump of trees.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
They say, I suppose they dig up a.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Lot of Roman relics and stuff. Huh around here?
Speaker 9 (08:26):
Oh, I wold pieces of armor, coins and that sort
of thing.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
And occasionally part of the skeleton.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
This is a lively place in the old days, yank.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I wish I had a chance to see more of it.
Speaker 6 (08:41):

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
But I know a man.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
I knew a man from other fields over in the
west riding he made a way. Jerry'd stay all night
alone in the druid circle on Midsummer's ease.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Eh did he?
Speaker 9 (10:39):
They found him there in the morning?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
What did he see?
Speaker 9 (10:44):
It couldn't tell they could only just slob her like
a baby.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It was raising Maggie. I don't believe it. Not a clark.
His name was from other's fields.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
Mm.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
You have never seen a druid circle by moonlight.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I want you to fix your tall, wide, spreading oak
trees hundreds of years old. I want you to see
a circle of great stone twice as tall as a man,
casting long black.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Shadows across the ground.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I want you to hear the little night wind rustling
the leaves of the ancient oaks, sounding like the far
off whispered conversation of a great conclave of beings from
another world.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
See the moon.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Dead pale in the sky above, and feel the oneness
of all nature and whispering silences, And know that.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
You are very close to an infinite something. Sense that you.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Who came to watch in the Druid Circle on Midsummer Eve,
are being watched. And there is nothing to see, nothing
but the grim old monoliths standing in a silent.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Circle, and their lengthening shadows reaching out of the two
soldiers crouched under the little hanging branches of the oak.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
And there was nothing to hear, nothing, but the rustle
of the leaves and the quickened breathing of the.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Man beside you in the dark. I looked at my watch,
that light.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Less than a minute at midnight, and there's a hand
slowly cut through the hour. A veil seemed to come
over the moon, though the sky was cloudless, And there
was a sound of a deep tone, clanging sunderously once
and echoing across the empty glades.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
And suddenly the glade wasn't empty anymore. In the center
of the circle.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Sto an ancient man, a tall, straight man, robed in
gleaming white, with a wreath of mistletoe about his head,
and a long silver white beard that descended to his prison.
And I heard Edward Mullen shocked intake of breath and
his whisper in my ear. It caoed, and the majestic
old man turned, and I could see his eyes gleaming
(13:41):
in the moonlight as he gazed straight at him. And
then he raised his staff and twined with oak leaves
and brandished it, And from somewhere behind us, I heard
the tread of marching men. It was a long time,
it seemed to me, before I realized that these were
not men in British Army ammunition boots, arms with the
(14:02):
lee enfiers, and then at short locks free. It wasn't
until they marched ot into the moonlight in the circle
that I recognized them, and their tight leather.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Helmets and kilted battle dress.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
But their lances are lost, and their short run swords clanking.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
At their hips, but I recognized them as a cohort.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Are the legions of Rome of fifteen hundred years ago.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I have not much memory of what happened after that.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
For a while, I remember how the glade seemed to
have changed, how the sagging monolists seemed to have straightened up,
how they seemed to be more trees there, and there
had been at first, and the.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Shapes of the hills seemed added somehow.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And there was a high walls stretching across the field.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Beyond us a wall showed her high, built of heavy
stones and with gud platforms of regular intervals.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I was looking at severus wars built by the Romans.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
In the year two hundred and eight, and as I
was to learn very shortly now only a scant two
centuries old. I heard Edward Mormon speaking to one of
the regionaries and I heard the Regionary replied, when and
the time we spoke was English of a fashion?
Speaker 10 (15:28):
Ah, we'd be pretty soldier tru men of the nine.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Why you're a Roman?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I so.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's Romanos.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
So uh if not the lacen see.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
So I'm a Roman citizen British. I so we all
are all English born, but Romans. There have been no
two born Roman in the ninth since days of Constantious, more.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Than a hundred years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
But what of what year is this? Why? Eleven hundred
sixty three?
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Ah, this country? There were no Romans in Britain and
eleven sixty three?
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Why why?
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Why any of the second were.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
King of England?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Then what they say?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Wait, I know dominie a word be scuditie, and the
army will use the old style from the founding of Rome.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
Aren't you Christians?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Then?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (16:27):
With Christians many of us?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Glad Let me see.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Rome was founded in seven hundred and fifty three BC.
Seven sixty three from eleven sixty three?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Uh four?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Ten?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
This is eighty four?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Ten.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I I look, soldiers, the the legions go back to
Rome next year, don't they.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
I'll know you that, I just know it's it's true,
it would be a sad day of pressing for most
of us. So we have never known any other lands,
say this where we were born.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yes, I remember reading about that.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
So what.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Look man, okay, what uh? What about us?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
What say?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Man?
Speaker 10 (17:18):
Come and have supper with us, comrades.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
There's always room at the mess for a British sojoa,
and there'd be wine issue later.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
And now our wives and our heavens are coming to join.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I come.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I could tell you about that Midsummer these. I could
tell you about the songs, then the stories our new
comrades told us about fighting the outlaws who swam down
from the north to shatter themselves against the stones of
the Wall of Severis. I could tell you the women,
the wives and daughters of the legionaries.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No one a dance, no one aboord. The heavy sour
red wine and.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Banquet is out of sweaty leather helmets. I could tell
you of Lance Corporal Edward Mullen, brimming with that wine,
drilling a squad of Roman soldiers, teaching them the manual
of arms with their lances, even to.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
The hollow of the right foot against the eel of
the left. When they came to present.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
And me and I was at plotted Nolly when I
stood fourth and declaimed Artama varum quai Kanno, and followed
right through in my best lake View High School elegance
until I fell flat on my face at the sixth line.
And flat on my face I was when the sun
came up on Midsummer's Day in the year of our
(18:39):
Lord four hundred and ten, flat on my face with
sixty Roman legionaries, none of whom had a worst hangover
than the one I sported. That was when I discovered
a strange thing.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
My watch was running backward. Perhaps that was an effect,
not a cause.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Perhaps the Druid had laid us spell on it that
made it some time run backwards.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Perhaps the going backward in time it affected the watch.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
I don't know even the day, but I have an idea,
and tonight I'm going to find out.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
The legionaries accepted us. We accepted them, as toldiers are
quite apt to do in time of war. Everything is wrong.
We were there, we saw our way of returning, so
we refused to bother.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
I hadn't about it well. Perhaps we were influenced by Elaine. Elaine,
the daughter of our sam the legionary who had first
greeted us.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
His name was.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Purius Decius Atholstan Fort Greek.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Elaine and I fell him that ver, and Edward Mullan
fell in love with her. I remember how we talked
to one early fall day.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Beside the wall, Elaine and I I do hate to go. Well,
your father could probably be discharged as soon as he
gets back to Rome, and you just have to come
back here.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
I'd like the troops, well, i'd think you're the wrongly names.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And not in the troops.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
Ye if I be, i'd black up.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Elaine. Mm what if I ask your father?
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Where may I?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
No?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Good do?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
But why not?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
W Where don't you love me?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I love you, Elaine?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I like you good.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
I know I'd try to make you very happy.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Greg.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Well, no, when you.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Come back, then.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
You know when I come back. When I come back,
Greg marand and now I'm going to be married.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And I talked to Edward mollyd my friends and you
talk to me.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
I don't know what they say.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Greg.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
You see I know your looker, yes, But Edward, I
I can't stay here then why I.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Can't stay here and see you and the lane? I
I just can't do it. It's not I don't can't
do it. I don't have to stay Grey. No, the
why it ain't like you look poor boys. We're friends,
don't we Gosh, we're friends, but don't we always be friends?
Where could you go?
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Hm?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Maybe I should go back? And now I'm going to
find the Druids. You don't know where he is. I'm
going to the crict. Greg, I don't be a.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Well what if you can't find him, the legion will
be gone Sun.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I'll go over the other side if I can't get
back where I belong. You won't do this and that.
What I can do is I sleey. I can't just
see that. I don't ever want to see you again.
Can't you understand that you're taking coming the one thing?
It was a fair contest, Greg, fair contest and no
fair contest.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
You think I'm wanted to stay here in this constant
taking place and see you in the lane every day?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And well, don't you understand? I'm sorry, Greg, I've got
to leave.
Speaker 11 (22:46):
I know.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
I hope you'll forgive me someday.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Old friends, I've never forged.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I wish I hadn't said that.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
To Edward Mullan.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Because I know now I didn't mean it. I knew
I didn't mean it. A few short hours after I'd
headed I went to the circle that night at midnight.
I stood and looked around me. I could just make
out the distant light from the century's godfire alongside the wall.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I looked up at the moon and of the shadows
of the stones on the.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Green forward, and I listened to the rustling of the
leaves of the ancient oak.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
And I spoke aloud, Drewid, I said, Drewid, I need you.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Drew had come to me.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I looked on if I just watched, and a minute,
hand slowly moved backward until I touched the figure of twelve.
It was midnight, and again I heard the solemn tone
of the great bell, and from the shadows, the old
(24:21):
druid walked slowly towards me.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I raised my hand, threw it. I said, dorew it,
let me go back, do it.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
I must go back.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And the old man halted by my side, and I
saw him in into your.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Pity, and that's why old eyes, and I said again,
let me go back.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I felt his hands on my arm in the unfastened
my watch and held it up and from the shadow
under the great Oak, Edward Mullin and Elane came towards me.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Silently.
Speaker 8 (25:13):
He fastened the.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Watch on Edward's rist, and Edward raised his other hand
in solemn finals.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
And as the Druid lifted his staff and the veil
seemed to slip over the moon, there was a sudden
scream from.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
The lane, and then me I saw a crowd of
shaggy howling them pour over the wall and race forward
my two friends and raising trumpets sounded in the blackness
as I screamed, no, no, let me coverack. No wild
savage men of an off had chosen that moment for
the attack, and I had repleted my hand and the
woman I love in the hour.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And it was thirty years ago.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
That the Red captains he found me and got me
back to camp, But they never found Edward Mullen, once
Lance corpl at the King's own Yorkshire Light Infantry and
late legionary in the ninth Legion of Rome, the slow
but sure Legion. So now I'm at some OF's eve
(26:25):
is nearly here, and I must have my watch back,
and perhaps the Druid will let me come back to
the Ninth and start over. Maybe I can help if
I can get there in time.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Maybe not. That skeleton was a wrist watch. With my
wrist watch.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
His right arm was listed in a very military final
British Army SUTO. The title of Tonight's Quiet Please Story
(27:18):
was not Responsible after thirty years. It was written and
directed by Willis Cooper, and the man who spoke to
you was Sti Coupled and Dave Paddle Now they played
Edward Mullen. The legionary was Coors Benson and his daughter
be Laying with Nancy started as you assumed you at
the Quiet Leaves is played by Albert Burma Alfer would
(27:42):
about next week, my good friend Willid Cooper, the people
you have denied are.

entitled but the Lilies consider it's about a man of love,
flowers a vice person, and so in the next week
at the same time, I am prib of yours furness deafls.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Tonight's Quiet Please Show was especially written for your.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
Enjoyment, with the hope we would please many people with
many different tastes for many different reasons.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
You like quiet, please for one reason, and you for another.
And that's just as it should be. For we in
America aren't stamped with a mold.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
We have our differences, differences in tastes and talents, in
hopes and ambition, in color and creed. Our American differences
have resulted in a variety of contributions which have made
our country great and kept us flee. Today, as America
seeks to establish peace in the world and to continue
possibility at home, our differences must not divide us or
(28:55):
hamper our efforts. A mis flag Day of nineteen forty eight,
but each of us fled to white group prejudice out
of our lives. By meeting every American as an individual.

Quiet Please.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Fortunight is called not Responsible after thirty years, I suppose
I'm glad that the other again.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
It's close to Midsnumber's eve again.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I've got a date for that night. I've been thinking
about the date all the time I've been and got
more planning how to get back to the circle and everything.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
And those three years have gone pretty slowly, pretty slowly.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Listen. The British prison's not like the ones at home.
They don't go around here.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
They're fair all right, I suppose, But British prison food
isn't exactly what i'd order, and those gray uniforms stamps
with a broad air or pretty pressing in form wise.
I was in for stealing stealing a wrist watch to
be exact, three years ago, just about this time of
the year, stealing a wrist watch off of skeleton's arm.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Sure, I don't mind telling you.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I was in the OWI last war. I'd been in
the other war first in the British Army. Oh, I'm
an American. I just got kind of carried away in
nineteen fourteen, and when this one came along, I.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Put in for WI and made it. They sent me
to England.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
I'd always wanted to come back to England all those
thirty years since I first came here and enlisted in
the coilis the King's on Yorkshire Light Infantry, Koyli Coiley.
But you know how it is. You're in the advertising business.
You've got a counsel to look after, you go fishing
in the summer with a client and all that.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So the w I was what you might.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Call a heaven sent opportunity. Well, anyway, forget the war
if you can, I wanna tell you about Midsummer's Day
nineteen forty five.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
This end of the war was over.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Your tea, and so I put in for some.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Leaves, as I've been planning to do for the four
years i'd been in Britain. So I got it easily
enough and I set out for the Circle, the Circles.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I'll tell you about that in a minute.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
You wanted to know why I got put in jail, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So when I got to the circle, it was it was.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
The morning of Midsommer's Day, the twenty fourth day of June,
and England or quarter day the morning after Midsummer Eves. Well,
(03:45):
I hardly recognized the place well as I knew it.
At first I thought they were begging some kind of
fortification or something. And then I remember that the war
was over, and why should they be digging the air
each other's or whatever it was now?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
And when I went closer, I discovered what was going on.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
That's an old Roman camp or something.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Sir, there's found some old Roman soldiers.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Am there?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
My heart turned over old Roman soldiers, a Roman camps.
I remember the Ninth Spanish legion Tarterius Claudius, the Ninth
snails the other Romans called them. And I remember the
motto on the eagle standards of the Ninth, the bronze
(04:32):
ribbon below the STQR but a gami, the words the
Ninth cherished and thought for slow but sure, the Ninth
that helped Us e Correacticus, king of the Britains, nineteen
short years after Christ was crucified, That stayed in Britain
almost four hundred years afterwards, until the the very language
(04:55):
of Rome disappeared, disappeared among them except for the commands
of the centurion to for.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And I remembered so many things. And I drew nearer
to the excavation.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
Where a couple of navvies were handing up a.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Long canvas wrapped thing from the muddy clay.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
And I wasn't surprised at all, and the manner seemed
to be in charge unwrapped the canvas to reveal a
skeleton of a man, his short bronze story to his side,
and on his left arm dangling loosely from the muddy
white owner.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
An Elgin wristwatch of the vintage.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Of nineteen fifty. Yes, of course, the archaeologists were thunderstruct
No nobody had lost to watch in the pit.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Now.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
It couldn't be anything for the skeleton's own watch.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
They couldn't flip it.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Off the bones of the hand, the metal band was
too small, and it had corrodas of the It couldn't
be unstapped. Nobody thought to ask the American in the
OWI uniform if he knew anything about it. I could
have told him a lot about it. I could have
told him what they discovered as they cleaned the watch
(06:16):
and wound it up. I could have told him who
the dead man was. And I could have told him
that It wasn't his watch, after all, it was.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Mine, so.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I stole it.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Not of course they caught me, and that was three
years ago.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Today they let me out of Dartma with a little
time off the good behavior, And tonight I'm going to
find that watch and I'm gonna steal it again.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Then I'm going to clean it very.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Very carefully, and I'm coming back to the circle. And
when the watch is watch and running, I.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Hope it will run. That's been underground there for thirty years,
or is it.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
The Roman legions left Britain in the year four or eleven,
maybe that's more than fifteen.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
Hundred years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Lance Corporal Edward Mullen was my friend.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I was the only American in the battalion, and the
hard headed Yorkshire dalesmen don't take up easily with foreigners.
But Mullen, who had been my drill master, took rather
a liking to me. Somehow than between the chores of
slow pipes and farm fours to a deep quick march,
we found quite a good deal in the way of
common interest, particularly English history. We could see the powers
(07:54):
of york Minster from our drill ground, and but I
wish you could meet Edward Mullen.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
All right, lad, the old wall that sever is built
in the year two hundred and night and straight across Yon.
Feel over there, yay, York's always been a garrison town.
There were severus and then Constantious about hundred years later, and.
Speaker 9 (08:16):
Constantius he died by yonder plump of trees.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
They say, I suppose they dig up a.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Lot of Roman relics and stuff. Huh around here?
Speaker 9 (08:26):
Oh, I wold pieces of armor, coins and that sort
of thing.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
And occasionally part of the skeleton.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
This is a lively place in the old days, yank.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I wish I had a chance to see more of it.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Practic could wanngl a day often have a deco.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Sing, wish we could well thank.
Speaker 6 (08:47):

Speaker 6 (10:09):
Uh, yeah, you'll not get frightened the only way and

Speaker 2 (10:13):

Speaker 9 (10:16):
Oh you might see something you might not be expecting,
right what?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
But I know a man.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
I knew a man from other fields over in the
west riding he made a way. Jerry'd stay all night
alone in the druid circle on Midsummer's ease.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Eh did he?
Speaker 9 (10:39):
They found him there in the morning?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
What did he see?
Speaker 9 (10:44):
It couldn't tell they could only just slob her like
a baby.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It was raising Maggie. I don't believe it. Not a clark.
His name was from other's fields.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
Mm.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
You have never seen a druid circle by moonlight.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I want you to fix your tall, wide, spreading oak
trees hundreds of years old. I want you to see
a circle of great stone twice as tall as a man,
casting long black.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Shadows across the ground.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I want you to hear the little night wind rustling
the leaves of the ancient oaks, sounding like the far
off whispered conversation of a great conclave of beings from
another world.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
See the moon.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Dead pale in the sky above, and feel the oneness
of all nature and whispering silences, And know that.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
You are very close to an infinite something. Sense that you.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Who came to watch in the Druid Circle on Midsummer Eve,
are being watched. And there is nothing to see, nothing
but the grim old monoliths standing in a silent.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Circle, and their lengthening shadows reaching out of the two
soldiers crouched under the little hanging branches of the oak.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
And there was nothing to hear, nothing, but the rustle
of the leaves and the quickened breathing of the.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Man beside you in the dark. I looked at my watch,
that light.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Less than a minute at midnight, and there's a hand
slowly cut through the hour. A veil seemed to come
over the moon, though the sky was cloudless, And there
was a sound of a deep tone, clanging sunderously once
and echoing across the empty glades.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
And suddenly the glade wasn't empty anymore. In the center
of the circle.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Sto an ancient man, a tall, straight man, robed in
gleaming white, with a wreath of mistletoe about his head,
and a long silver white beard that descended to his prison.
And I heard Edward Mullen shocked intake of breath and
his whisper in my ear. It caoed, and the majestic
old man turned, and I could see his eyes gleaming
(13:41):
in the moonlight as he gazed straight at him. And
then he raised his staff and twined with oak leaves
and brandished it, And from somewhere behind us, I heard
the tread of marching men. It was a long time,
it seemed to me, before I realized that these were
not men in British Army ammunition boots, arms with the
(14:02):
lee enfiers, and then at short locks free. It wasn't
until they marched ot into the moonlight in the circle
that I recognized them, and their tight leather.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Helmets and kilted battle dress.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
But their lances are lost, and their short run swords clanking.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
At their hips, but I recognized them as a cohort.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Are the legions of Rome of fifteen hundred years ago.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I have not much memory of what happened after that.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
For a while, I remember how the glade seemed to
have changed, how the sagging monolists seemed to have straightened up,
how they seemed to be more trees there, and there
had been at first, and the.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Shapes of the hills seemed added somehow.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And there was a high walls stretching across the field.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Beyond us a wall showed her high, built of heavy
stones and with gud platforms of regular intervals.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I was looking at severus wars built by the Romans.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
In the year two hundred and eight, and as I
was to learn very shortly now only a scant two
centuries old. I heard Edward Mormon speaking to one of
the regionaries and I heard the Regionary replied, when and
the time we spoke was English of a fashion?
Speaker 10 (15:28):
Ah, we'd be pretty soldier tru men of the nine.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Why you're a Roman?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I so.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's Romanos.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
So uh if not the lacen see.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
So I'm a Roman citizen British. I so we all
are all English born, but Romans. There have been no
two born Roman in the ninth since days of Constantious, more.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Than a hundred years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
But what of what year is this? Why? Eleven hundred
sixty three?
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Ah, this country? There were no Romans in Britain and
eleven sixty three?
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Why why?
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Why any of the second were.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
King of England?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Then what they say?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Wait, I know dominie a word be scuditie, and the
army will use the old style from the founding of Rome.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
Aren't you Christians?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Then?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (16:27):
With Christians many of us?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Glad Let me see.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Rome was founded in seven hundred and fifty three BC.
Seven sixty three from eleven sixty three?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Uh four?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Ten?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
This is eighty four?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Ten.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I I look, soldiers, the the legions go back to
Rome next year, don't they.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
I'll know you that, I just know it's it's true,
it would be a sad day of pressing for most
of us. So we have never known any other lands,
say this where we were born.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yes, I remember reading about that.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
So what.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Look man, okay, what uh? What about us?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
What say?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Man?
Speaker 10 (17:18):
Come and have supper with us, comrades.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
There's always room at the mess for a British sojoa,
and there'd be wine issue later.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
And now our wives and our heavens are coming to join.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I come.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I could tell you about that Midsummer these. I could
tell you about the songs, then the stories our new
comrades told us about fighting the outlaws who swam down
from the north to shatter themselves against the stones of
the Wall of Severis. I could tell you the women,
the wives and daughters of the legionaries.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No one a dance, no one aboord. The heavy sour
red wine and.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Banquet is out of sweaty leather helmets. I could tell
you of Lance Corporal Edward Mullen, brimming with that wine,
drilling a squad of Roman soldiers, teaching them the manual
of arms with their lances, even to.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
The hollow of the right foot against the eel of
the left. When they came to present.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
And me and I was at plotted Nolly when I
stood fourth and declaimed Artama varum quai Kanno, and followed
right through in my best lake View High School elegance
until I fell flat on my face at the sixth line.
And flat on my face I was when the sun
came up on Midsummer's Day in the year of our
(18:39):
Lord four hundred and ten, flat on my face with
sixty Roman legionaries, none of whom had a worst hangover
than the one I sported. That was when I discovered
a strange thing.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
My watch was running backward. Perhaps that was an effect,
not a cause.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Perhaps the Druid had laid us spell on it that
made it some time run backwards.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Perhaps the going backward in time it affected the watch.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
I don't know even the day, but I have an idea,
and tonight I'm going to find out.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
The legionaries accepted us. We accepted them, as toldiers are
quite apt to do in time of war. Everything is wrong.
We were there, we saw our way of returning, so
we refused to bother.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
I hadn't about it well. Perhaps we were influenced by Elaine. Elaine,
the daughter of our sam the legionary who had first
greeted us.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
His name was.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Purius Decius Atholstan Fort Greek.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Elaine and I fell him that ver, and Edward Mullan
fell in love with her. I remember how we talked
to one early fall day.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Beside the wall, Elaine and I I do hate to go. Well,
your father could probably be discharged as soon as he
gets back to Rome, and you just have to come
back here.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
I'd like the troops, well, i'd think you're the wrongly names.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And not in the troops.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
Ye if I be, i'd black up.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Elaine. Mm what if I ask your father?
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Where may I?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
No?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Good do?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
But why not?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
W Where don't you love me?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I love you, Elaine?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I like you good.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
I know I'd try to make you very happy.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Greg.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Well, no, when you.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Come back, then.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
You know when I come back. When I come back,
Greg marand and now I'm going to be married.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And I talked to Edward mollyd my friends and you
talk to me.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
I don't know what they say.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Greg.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
You see I know your looker, yes, But Edward, I
I can't stay here then why I.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Can't stay here and see you and the lane? I
I just can't do it. It's not I don't can't
do it. I don't have to stay Grey. No, the
why it ain't like you look poor boys. We're friends,
don't we Gosh, we're friends, but don't we always be friends?
Where could you go?
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Hm?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Maybe I should go back? And now I'm going to
find the Druids. You don't know where he is. I'm
going to the crict. Greg, I don't be a.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Well what if you can't find him, the legion will
be gone Sun.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I'll go over the other side if I can't get
back where I belong. You won't do this and that.
What I can do is I sleey. I can't just
see that. I don't ever want to see you again.
Can't you understand that you're taking coming the one thing?
It was a fair contest, Greg, fair contest and no
fair contest.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
You think I'm wanted to stay here in this constant
taking place and see you in the lane every day?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And well, don't you understand? I'm sorry, Greg, I've got
to leave.
Speaker 11 (22:46):
I know.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
I hope you'll forgive me someday.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Old friends, I've never forged.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I wish I hadn't said that.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
To Edward Mullan.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Because I know now I didn't mean it. I knew
I didn't mean it. A few short hours after I'd
headed I went to the circle that night at midnight.
I stood and looked around me. I could just make
out the distant light from the century's godfire alongside the wall.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I looked up at the moon and of the shadows
of the stones on the.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Green forward, and I listened to the rustling of the
leaves of the ancient oak.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
And I spoke aloud, Drewid, I said, Drewid, I need you.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Drew had come to me.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I looked on if I just watched, and a minute,
hand slowly moved backward until I touched the figure of twelve.
It was midnight, and again I heard the solemn tone
of the great bell, and from the shadows, the old
(24:21):
druid walked slowly towards me.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I raised my hand, threw it. I said, dorew it,
let me go back, do it.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
I must go back.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And the old man halted by my side, and I
saw him in into your.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Pity, and that's why old eyes, and I said again,
let me go back.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I felt his hands on my arm in the unfastened
my watch and held it up and from the shadow
under the great Oak, Edward Mullin and Elane came towards me.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Silently.
Speaker 8 (25:13):
He fastened the.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Watch on Edward's rist, and Edward raised his other hand
in solemn finals.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
And as the Druid lifted his staff and the veil
seemed to slip over the moon, there was a sudden
scream from.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
The lane, and then me I saw a crowd of
shaggy howling them pour over the wall and race forward
my two friends and raising trumpets sounded in the blackness
as I screamed, no, no, let me coverack. No wild
savage men of an off had chosen that moment for
the attack, and I had repleted my hand and the
woman I love in the hour.
