[00:35.61] | Chapter 1 |
[00:38.62] | It was cold and dark out in the road |
[00:41.75] | and the rain did not stop for a minute. |
[00:45.46] | But in the little living-room of number 12 Castle Road it was nice and warm. |
[00:52.17] | Old Mr White and his son, Herbert, |
[00:54.82] | played chess and Mrs White sat and watched them. |
[00:59.78] | The old woman was happy because her husband |
[01:02.29] | and her son were good friends and they liked to be together. |
[01:07.16] | 'Herbert's a good son,' she thought. |
[01:10.60] | 'We waited a long time for him |
[01:13.35] | and I was nearly forty when he was born, |
[01:17.05] | but we are a happy family.' |
[01:19.64] | And old Mrs White smiled. |
[01:22.99] | It was true.Herbert was young and he laughed a lot, |
[01:28.89] | but his mother and his father laughed with him. |
[01:33.31] | They had not got much money, |
[01:35.40] | but they were a very happy little family. |
[01:39.37] | The two men did not talk because they played carefully. |
[01:44.21] | The room was quiet, but the noise of the rain was worse now |
[01:49.08] | and they could hear it on the windows. |
[01:51.68] | Suddenly Old Mr White looked up. |
[01:56.05] | 'Listen to the rain!' he said. |
[01:59.85] | 'Yes, it's a bad night,' |
[02:02.75] | Herbert answered.'It's not a good night to be out. |
[02:07.50] | But is your friend, Tom Morris,coming tonight?' |
[02:11.05] | 'Yes, that's right. |
[02:13.76] | He's coming at about seven o'clock, |
[02:16.18] | the old man said.'But perhaps this rain…' |
[02:21.34] | Mr White did not finish because |
[02:23.83] | just then the young man heard a noise. |
[02:27.33] | 'Listen!'Herbert said. |
[02:29.82] | 'There's someone at the door now.' |
[02:32.89] | 'I didn't hear a noise,' |
[02:35.62] | his father answered, |
[02:38.11] | but he got up from his chair and went to open the front door. |
[02:43.28] | Mrs White got up too and began to put things away. |
[02:48.25] | Mr White said,'Come in, come in, Tom. |
[02:53.53] | It's wonderful to see you again. |
[02:56.72] | What a bad night! |
[02:58.78] | Give me your coat and then come into the living-room. |
[03:03.04] | It's nice and warm in there.' |
[03:07.20] | The front door was open, |
[03:09.54] | and in the living-room Mrs White and Herbert felt the cold. |
[03:14.56] | Then Mr White came back into the living-room |
[03:17.51] | with a big,red-faced man. |
[03:21.31] | 'This is Tom Morris,' |
[03:23.69] | Mr White told his wife and son. |
[03:27.02] | 'We were friends when we were young. |
[03:30.02] | We worked together |
[03:31.09] | before Tom went to India. |
[03:33.83] | Tom, this is my wife and this is our son, Herbert.' |
[03:41.29] | 'Pleased to meet you,' Tom Morris said. |
[03:45.66] | 'Pleased to meet you, Mr Morris,' |
[03:48.67] | Mrs White answered. |
[03:50.57] | 'Please come and sit down.' |
[03:53.27] | 'Yes, come on, Tom,' |
[03:56.15] | Mr White said.'Over here. |
[03:58.99] | It's nice and warm.' |
[04:02.07] | 'Thank you,'the big man answered and he sat down. |
[04:07.58] | 'Let's have some whisky,' |
[04:09.57] | Old Mr White said. |
[04:11.82] | 'You need something to warm you on a cold night.' |
[04:16.09] | He got out a bottle of whisky and the two old friends began to drink and talk. |
[04:23.25] | The little family listened with interest |
[04:25.52] | to this visitor from far away and he told them many strange stories. |
