  Speaker 1: Chapter twenty. The flight in the heather the rocks. Sometimes
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we walked, sometimes ran, and as it drew on to morning,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: walked ever the less, and ran the more. Though upon
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: its face that country appeared to be a desert, yet
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: there were huts and houses of the people, of which
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: we must have passed more than twenty, hidden in quiet
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: places of the hills. When we came to one of these,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Alan would leave me in the way and go himself
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and rap upon the side of the house, and speak
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: awhile at the window, with some sleeper awakened. This was
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to pass the news, which in that country was so
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: much of a duty that allan must pause to attend
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to it, even while fleeing for his life, and so
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: well attended to by others that in more than half
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of the houses where we called they had already heard
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: of the murder. In the others as well as I
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: could make out, standing back at a distance and hearing
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a strange tongue, the news was received with more consternation
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: then surprise. For all our hurry day began to come
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in while we were still far from any shelter. It
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: found us in a prodigious valley strewn with rocks, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: where ran a foaming river. Wild mountains stood around it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: There grew there neither grass nor trees, And I have
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: sometimes thought since then that it may have been the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: valley called Glencoe, where the massacre was in the time
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: of King William. But for the details of our itinerary,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I am all to seek our way, lying now by
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: short cuts, now by great detours, our pace being so
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: hurried our time of journeying, usually by night, and the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: names of such places, as I asked and heard, being
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in the Gaelic tongue, and the more easily forgotten. The
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: first peep of morning then showed us this horrible place,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and I could see Allan knit his brow. This is
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: no fit place for you and me, he said, this
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: is the place they're bound to watch. And with that
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: he ran harder than ever down to the water side,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in a part where the river was split in two
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: among three rocks. It went through with a horrid thundering
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that made my belly quake, and there hung over the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: line a little mist of spray. Alan looked neither to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the right nor to the left, but jumped clean upon
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the middle rock, and fell there on his hands and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: knees to check himself, for that rock was small, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: he might have pitched over on the far side. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: had scarce time to measure the distance or to understand
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the peril before I had followed him, and he had
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: caught and stopped me. So there we stood side by
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: side upon a small rock, slippery with spray, a far
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: broader leap in front of us, and the river dinning
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: upon all sides. When I saw where I was, there
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: came on me a deadly sickness of fear, and I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: put my hand over my eyes. Alan took me and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: shook me. I saw he was speaking, but the roaring
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of the falls and the trouble of my mind prevented
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: me from hearing. Only I saw his face was red
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: with anger, and that he stamped upon the rock. The
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: same look showed me the water raging by, and the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: mist hanging in the air, And with that I covered
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: my eyes again and shuddered. The next minute Alan had
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: set the brandy bottle to my lips and forced me
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to drink about a gill, which sent the blood into
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: my head again. Then, putting his hands to his mouth
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and his mouth to my ear, he shouted, hang or drown, and,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: turning his back upon me, leaped over the farther branch
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of the stream and landed safe. I was now alone
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: upon the rock, which gave me the more room. The
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: brandy was singing in my ears. I had this good
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: example fresh before me, and just wit enough to see
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that if I did not leap at once, I should
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: never leap at all. I bent low on my knees
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and flung myself forth with that kind of anger of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: despair that has sometimes stood me instead of courage. Sure enough,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it was but my hand ends that reached the full length.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: These slipped, but again slipped again, and I was slittering
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: back into the linn when Alan seized me, first by
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the hair, then by the collar, and with a great strain,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: dragged me into safety. Never a word, he said, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: set off running again for his life, and I must
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: stagger to my feet and run after him. I had
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: been weary before, but now I was sick and bruised,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and partly drunken with the brandy. I kept stumbling as
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I ran. I had a stitch that came near to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: overmaster me. And when at last Alan paused under a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: great rock that stood there among a number of others.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It was none too soon for David Balfour. A great rock,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I have said, But by rights it was two rocks,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: leaning together at the top, both some twenty feet high,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and at the first sight inaccessible. Even Allan, though you
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: may say he had as good as four hands, failed
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: twice in an attack empt to climb them. And it
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: was only at the third trial, and then by standing
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: on my shoulders and leaping up with such force as
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I thought must have broken my collar bone, that he
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: secured a lodgment. Once there he let down his leathern girdle,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and with the aid of that and a pair of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: shallow footholds in the rock, I scrambled up beside him.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Then I saw why we had come there, For the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: two rocks, being both somewhat hollow at the top and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: sloping one to the other, made a kind of dish
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: or saucer, where as many as three or four men
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: might have lain hidden. All this while Allan had not
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: said a word, and had run and climbed with such
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a savage, silent frenzy of hurry, that I knew that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: he was in mortal fear of some miscarriage. Even now
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we were on the rock. He said nothing, nor so
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: much as relaxed the frowning look upon his face, but
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: clapped flat down, and, keeping only one eye above the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: edge of our place of shelter, scouted all round the compass.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The dawn had come quiet clear. We could see the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: stony sides of the valley and its bottom, which was
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: bestrewed with rocks, and the river, which went from one
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: side to another and made white falls. But nowhere the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: smoke of a house, nor any living creature, but some
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: eagles screaming round a cliff. Then at last Allan smiled,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Aye said he now we have a chance, And then,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: looking at me with some amusement, you're no very gleg
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: at the jumping, said he. At this I suppose I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: colored with mortification, for he added at once oots small
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: blame to ye. To be feared of a thing, and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: yet to do it is what makes the prettiest kind
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of a man. And then there was water there, and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: water's a thing that Daunton's even me. No, no, said Allan,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: is no youth. That's to blame. It's me. I asked him. Why, why,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: said he? I have proved myself a gum or all
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: this night? For first of all, I take a wrong road,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and that in my own country have appened so that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the day has caught us where we should never have been.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And thanks to that we lie here in some danger
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and mere discomfort. And next, which is the worst of
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the two, For a man that has been so much
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: among the heather as myself, I have come want in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a water bottle, and here we lie for a long
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: summer's day with nothing but neat spirit. Ye may think
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that a small matter, But before comes night, David, y
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: give me news of it. I was anxious to redeem
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: my character, and offered if he would pour out the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: brandy to run down and fill the bottle at the river.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It would not waste a good spirit either, says he,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: it's been a good friend to you this night, or
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: in my poor opinion, you would still be cocking on
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: yon Stone. And what's more, says he, you may have
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: observed you. That's a matter so much penetration that Alan
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: breck Stewart was perhaps walking quicker than his ordinair. You,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I cried, you were running fit to burst. It was
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: eh so, says he, Well, then you may depend upon it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: There was no time to be lost, and now here
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is enough, said, Gang you to your sleep, lad, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I'll watch accordingly. I lay down to sleep. A little
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: peaty earth had drifted dim between the top of the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: two rocks, and some bracken grew there to be a
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: bed to me. The last thing I heard was still
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the crying of the eagles. I dare say it would
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: be nine in the morning when I was roughly awakened
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and found Allan's hand pressed upon my mouth. Wished He whispered,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you are snoring, well, said I, surprised at his anxious
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and dark face, And why not? He peered over the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: edge of the rock and signed me to do the like.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It was now high day, cloudless, and very hot. The
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: valley was as clear as in a picture. About half
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: a mile up the water was a camp of red coats,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: A big fire blazed in their midst, at which some
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: were cooking, And near by, on the top of a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: rock about as high as ours, there stood a sentry
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: with the sun sparkling on his arms. All the way
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: down along the river side were posted other sentries here
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: near together there widel or scattered, some planted like the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: first on places of command, some on the ground level,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and marching and countermarching so as to meet half way
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: higher up the glen, where the ground was more open.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: The chain of posts was continued by horse soldiers, whom
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: we could see in the distance, riding to and fro
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Lower down, the infantry continued, but as the stream was
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: suddenly swelled by the confluence of a considerable burn, they
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: were more widely set and only watched the fords and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: stepping stones. I took but one look at them, and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: ducked again into my place. It was strange, indeed, to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: see this valley, which had lain so solitary in the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: hour of dawn, bristling with arms, and dotted with the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: redcoats and breeches. You see, said Alan, This was what
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I was afraid of, Davy, that they would watch the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: burn side. They began to come in about two hours ago.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And man, you're a grand hand at the sleepin'. We're
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: in a narrow place. If they get up the sides
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of the hill, they could easy spy us with a glass.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: But if they'll only keep in the foot of the valley,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: we'll do. Yet posts are thinner down the water, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: come night we'll try our hand to kitten buy them.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And what are we to do till night. I asked,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: lie here, says he, and burstle that one good Scotch
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: word bursil, was indeed the most of the story of
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the day that we had now to pass. You are
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to remember that we lay on the bare top of
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a rock like scones upon a girdle. The sun beat
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: upon us cruelly, the rock grus so heated a man
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: could scarce endure the touch of it, and the little
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: patch of earth and fern which kept cooler was only
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: large enough for one at a time. We took turn
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: about to lie on the naked rock, which was indeed
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: like the position of that saint that was martyred on
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a gridiron. And it ran in my mind how strange
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it was that, in the same climate, and at only
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: a few days distance, I should have suffered so cruelly,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: first from cold upon my island, and now from heat
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: upon this rock. All the while we had no water,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: only raw brandy for a drink, which was worse than nothing.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: But we kept the bottle as cool as we could,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: burying it in the earth, and got some relief by
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: bathing our breasts and temples. The soldiers kept stirring all
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: day in the bottom of the valley, now changing guard,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: now in patrolling parties, hunting among the rocks. These lay
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: around in so great a number that to look for
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: men among them was like looking for a needle in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: am bottle of hay, and being so hopeless a task,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: it was gone about with the less care. Yet we
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: could see the soldiers poked their bayonets among the heather,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: which sent a cold thrill into my vitals, and they
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: would sometimes hang about our rock, so that we scarce
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: dared to breathe. It was in this way that I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: first heard the right English speech one fellow as he
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: went by, actually clapping his hand upon the sunny face
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of the rock on which we lay, and plucking it
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: off again with an oath. I tell you it's aught,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: says he. And I was amazed at the clipping tones
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and the odd sing song in which he spoke, and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: no less at that strange trick of dropping out the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: letter H. Be sure I had heard ransom, but he
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: had taken his ways from all sorts of people, and
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: spoke so imperfectly at the best that I set down
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the most of it to childishness. My surprise was all
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the greater to hear that manner of speaking in the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: mouth of a grown man, and indeed I have never
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: grown used to it, nor yet altogether with the English grammar,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: as perhaps a very critical eye might here and there
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: spy out. Even in these memoirs. The tediousness and pain
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: of these hours upon the rock grew only the greater
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: as the day went on, the rock getting still the hotter,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and the sun fiercer. There were giddiness and sickness, and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: sharp hangs like rheumatism to be supported. I minded then,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and have often minded since, on the lines in our
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Scotch Psalm. The moon by night thee shall not smite,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: nor yet the sun by day. And indeed it was
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: only by God's blessing that we were neither of us
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: sun smitten. At last, about two it was beyond men's bearing,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and there was now temptation to resist, as well as
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: pain to thull. For the sun being now got a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: little into the west. There came a patch of shade
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: on the east side of our rock, which was the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: side sheltered from the soldiers as well. One day, Yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: as another said Alan, and slipped over the edge and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: dropped on the ground on the shadowy side. I followed
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: him at once and instantly fell all my length. So
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: weak was I and so giddy with that long exposure.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Here then we lay for an hour or two, aching
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: from head to foot, as weak as water, and lying
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: quite naked to the eye of any soldier who should
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: have strolled that way. None came, however, all passing by
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: on the other side, so that our rock continued to
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: be our shield even in this new position. Presently we
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: began again to get a little strength, and as the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: soldiers were now lying closer along the river side, Alan
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: proposed that we should try a start. I was by
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: this time afraid of but one thing in the world,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and that was to be set back upon the rock.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Anything else was welcome to me. So we got ourselves
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: at once in marching order, and began to slip from
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: rock to rock, one after the other, now crawling for
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: flat on our bellies in the shade, now making a
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: run for it, heart in mouth. The soldiers, having searched
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: this side of the valley after a fashion, and being
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: perhaps somewhat sleepy with the sultriness of the afternoon, had
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: now laid by much of their vigilance, and stood dozing
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: at their posts, or only kept a lookout along the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: banks of the river, so that in this way, keeping
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: down the valley and at the same time towards the mountains,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: we drew steadily away from their neighborhood. But the business
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: was the most wearing I have ever taken part in.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: A man had need of a hundred eyes in every
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: part of him to keep concealed in that uneven country,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and within cry of so many and scattered sentries. When
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: we must pass an open place, quickness was not all
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: but a swift judgment not only of the lie of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the whole country, but of the solidity of every stone
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: on which we must set foot. For the afternoon was
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: now fallen so breathless that the rolling of a pebble
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: sounded abroad like a pistol shot, and would start the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: echo calling among the hills and cliffs. By sundown we
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: had made some distance, even by our slow rate of progress,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: though to be sure, the sentry on the rock was
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: still plainly in our view. But now we came on
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: something that put all fears out of season, and that
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: was a deep, rushing burn that tore down in that
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: part to join the Glen River. At the sight of
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: this we cast ourselves on the ground and plunged head
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and shoulders in the water. And I cannot tell which
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: was the more pleasant, the great shock as the cool
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: stream went over us, or the greed with which we
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: drank of it. We lay there, for the banks hid us,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: drank again, and again, bathed our chests, let our wrists
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: trail in the running water till they ached with the chill,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: And at last, being wonderfully renewed, we got out the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: meal bag and make drummach in the iron Pand this,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: though it is but cold water mingled with oatmeal, yet
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: makes a good enough dish for a hungry man. And
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: whe there are no means of making fire, or as
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: in our case, good reason for not making one, It
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: is the chief stand by of those who have taken
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to the heather. As soon as the shadow of the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: night had fallen, we set forth again, at first with
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the same caution, but presently with more boldness, standing our
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: full height and stepping out at a good pace of walking.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: The way was very intricate, lying up the steep sides
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: of mountains and along the brows of cliffs. Clouds had
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: come in with the sunset, and the night was dark
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and cool, so that I walked without much fatigue, but
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: in continual appear of falling and rolling down the mountains,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and with no guess at our direction. The moon rose
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: at last and found us still on the road. It
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: was in its last quarter and was long beset with clouds,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: but after a while shone out and showed me many
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: dark heads of mountains, and was reflected far underneath us
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: on the narrow arm of a sea lock. At this
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: sight we both paused. I struck with wonder to find
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: myself so high and walking, as it seemed to me,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: upon clouds, allan to make sure of his direction. Seemingly
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: he was well pleased, and he must certainly have judged
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: us out of earshot of all our enemies, for throughout
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the rest of our night march, he beguiled the way
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: with whistling of many tunes, warlike, merry, plaintive, real tunes
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that made the foot go faster, tunes of my own
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: south country that made me feign to be home from
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: my adventures in all these on the great dark desert mountains,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: making company upon the way. End of chapter
