[Assistant] I decided that this period of time on Earth had very little to keep my interest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now a new kind of moon had appeared in the eastern part of the sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I pushed the levers forward again, and this time kept going until I saw no more of those crabs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was approaching 30 million years into the future when I finally stopped the machine again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found myself in what seemed to be the beginnings of an ice age. The air was very cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the ground covered in white snow. But only the edge of the sea was frozen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried to find some kind of sign of life, but there was nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A black shadow seemed to begin to cover part of the sun I could see from this side of the earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an eclipse, just as in our day, when the moon passes between the earth and the sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe that it was one of the planets which had moved closer to ours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Possibly Mercury. I could not be certain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once it had moved into place and had covered the sun entirely, the earth was in nearly total darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could feel more and more flakes of snow starting to fall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, moments later, the sun came back out from behind the planet and threw some of its light on the western horizon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, that black object I had thought I saw jumping about on the beach started to move again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was only the size of a football and it had long feelers hanging from what must have been its head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the only sign of life in this age that I could find.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The terrible feeling of death was still present in my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I now felt that I had seen enough of the future and that it was time to go back home.

[Assistant] Phineas Fogg astonishes Passepartout, his servant. After winning forty pounds at Whist,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phineas Fogg left the club at twenty-five minutes past seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passpartout, who had studied his duties, was surprised to see his master at this early hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Fogg went to his bedroom and called Passepartout. There was no answer, so he called again. Passepartout appeared. I've called you twice, observed his master. But it's not midnight, replied the other. I know. I don't blame you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We start for Dover and Calais in ten minutes. Monsieur's going to leave home? Yes, replied Phineas Fogg. We are going around the world. Passepartout was astonished. Round the world? he said quietly. In eighty days, said Mr. Fogg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we haven't a moment to lose. We'll only take a bag with some clothes. We'll buy clothes on our way. Bring me my raincoat and some good shoes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passepartout tried to reply, but couldn't. He made the preparations. Around the world in eighty days. Was his master a fool? No. Was this a joke? They were going to Calais. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passepartout had not returned to France for five years. He would be happy to see it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At eight o'clock, passport two had packed a bag. Mr. Fogg was ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under his arm he had a copy of Bradshaw's Continental Railway Steam Transit and General Guide, which had timetables of steamers and railways. Have you forgotten anything? he asked. Nothing, monsieur. Good. Take this bag. Take good care of it, for there are twenty thousand pounds in it. They took a cab to the railway station.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bigger woman with a child approached and asked for some money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Fogg took the forty pounds he had won at West and gave them to the beggar. Here, my good woman, I'm glad I met you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passpartout was touched by his master's action. Two first-class tickets were bought. The five friends were there to say goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, gentlemen," Mr. Fogg said, I will return in less than eighty days. The night was dark, and Passepartout was still astonished. Suddenly he cried out. What's the matter? asked Mr. Fogg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my hurry, I forgot to turn off the gas in my room. Very well. It will burn at your expense.

[Assistant] Chapter 11 Face to Face with the Monster After Justine's Death


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was hard for me to spend time with my family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I felt that everything that had happened was my fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided to travel alone to a peaceful town in the mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took long walks in the beautiful fields and looked at the mountains in the moonlight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a month of this I was able to sleep well at night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One rainy day, I went to my favorite spot on the mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did this every day, in good weather and bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to watch the glaciers, which were large pieces of ice, break and fall down the mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of resting, I decided to cross the great ice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The glacier was covered with holes and cracks so it was dangerous. It took me two hours to reach the other side. Finally, the rain stopped and the sun came out. The ice sparkled and shone in the light. I watched the beautiful sight and felt a little happier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly I saw an extremely large man walking quickly towards me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ran over the ice as if it was only grass. I shook with anger and fright. It was the monster. Finally, we would meet after two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that moment I knew that I would not turn and run away from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to stay and fight him until one of us died, if I could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the only way to end the fear and pain in my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You monster! I shouted, go to hell!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I could kill you and bring back the two people you killed from heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am not surprised that you say these things, Dr. Frankenstein. I thought you would, the monster said calmly. After all,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People hate ugly things, and I am ugly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is your fault, because you created me this way. Where had the monster learned to speak so well? I could not believe what I was hearing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I did not stop to think, because I could not control my anger anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ran and tried to hit his awful yellow face with my hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, you made me larger and stronger than you. I won't listen. I don't want to hear anything you have to say. The monster looked into my eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shook with fear, a feeling I did not understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How can I make you understand, Victor Frankenstein? It is true that you have suffered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is nothing when you understand how I have suffered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am miserable and alone, hated by all people. This is all because of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you must listen to what I have to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, if you still want to kill me, you can try if you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just remember, it was you who made me. Please, I beg you, go away. I can't look at you a minute longer. I cried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I turned my back to him and put my hands over my face. Then, don't look at me. Please, Dr. Frankenstein.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just listen to my story and hear what I have to ask you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you do what I ask, I promise you I will leave you in peace. Even though I was afraid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I listened to the monster's deep voice, I felt that I wanted to know more about him. I turned around and said, I will listen. Then come with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sat down next to the fire and listened as the monster began to talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 17 Fadalah's saying comes true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab had placed his crew on every mast of the ship to serve as daylight lookouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After an hour of searching the sea, he saw the spout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three cries of, there she blows went up from the top of the masts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forehead to forehead I meet you this third time, Moby Dick. Called Ahab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he spoke to the top of the mast lovingly, saying, Goodbye, top of the mast. I'm going down to the ocean. Watch that whale while I'm down there. We'll talk tomorrow night, after the white whale is lying on the bottom of the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Ahab was being lowered, Fadalah's mystery came back to him. He whispered to himself, Fadalah said he would die before I did. But he also said I would see him again. But where and how? We're too far away from where he sank. No, Fadalah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you were right about dying, but you were wrong about Ahab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab, preparing to climb into his boat, turned to Starbuck and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shake hands with me, man. I am old, very old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Starbucks eyes filled with tears and he begged, Oh my captain, do not go. A brave man weeps and begs you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lower my boat, cried Ahab, shaking Starbucks arm from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boat said not gone far when a signal from the top of the mast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Told Ahab that the whale had gone down below again. Ahab cried, Move on, move on! I'm not afraid. I'll be waiting for Moby Dick when he rises. Oh, Fadala, you were wrong. No coffin or no hearse for me. Remember, only a rope can kill me. Ha ha!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly the waters around the boat started to move in broad circles. We could all hear a low sound like thunder. Everyone held their breaths in the silence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ropes, harpoons and lances shot up from the sea with the mighty whale himself. Moby Dick, angry from the previous day's chase, came straight toward the boats. He hit his tail against the sides of the boats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the whale turned and quickly swam by them again, a cry came out from the cruise. There, tied to the whale's back, among the tangled ropes, was the half-torn body of Fidala.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His dead, opened eyes were turned upon old Ahab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab dropped his harpoon and took in a long breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what you said was true, Fidala," he whispered. I do see you again after your death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sit down, men, he cried. If you try to jump from this boat I'm in, I'll harpoon you. You are my crew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moby Dick was swimming away from the boats at top speed out to sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab gave the order to follow. As he passed the p-quad, Starbuck called down to him from the deck. Ahab, it is not too late to turn back. Look, Moby Dick is not after you. It is you, you that is madly after him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Ahab ordered his boat to continue to follow the whale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could see Tashtigo, Kwikwag, and Dagoo climbing to the top of three masts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He saw the oarsman fixing the two damaged boats which were at the Pequod's side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could even see from the ship's windows, stub and flask, busily gathering new irons and lances below deck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab's oarsmen had other trouble besides the white whale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sharks had gathered around his boat and were biting at the oars. Don't pay any attention to them, cried Ahab. Rowan. But, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will last long enough to catch Moby Dick. Row on!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are these sharks expecting to feast on the whale or all they have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The crew was unable to see anything as they neared the white whale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with both arms, through his special iron and his hate into the hated Moby Dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The white whale twisted and rolled, hitting his side against the small boat. It turned partly over. Three of Ahab's crew were tossed into the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Ahab hung on and managed to stay inside the boat. Then the whale sped off into the sea


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab yelled to the men to make sure that the line connected to Moby Dick was held. But the line wasn't strong enough, and it broke in two in the empty air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Moby Dick turned, he saw the back of the Pequod.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ship, the ship! Move, move, OC! Row on, my men!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The men on board the Pequod started to shout and pray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their scared eyes on the white whale that was rushing straight toward them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Ahab! cried Starbuck. Look at what has happened because of your work. The whale comes for us. My God, please stand by me now. That laughing whale wants to eat us all. In revenge,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moby Dick's white forehead smashed the ship's back end. The men fell flat on their faces from the crash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then started to scream as huge streams of water began pouring in through the break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whale turned away from the sinking ship and dove underwater again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I cut off from a captain's wish to die with my ship?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How lonely is my death after such a lonely life. I look towards you. You all. Destroying whale. You still have not beat me. To the last I shall fight you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In hate I shall take my last breath at you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Break me to pieces while I chase you. Tied to you. Damned whale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus I give up the spear, cried Ahab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With all the power left in him, Ahab threw the harpoon. It hit and stuck into Moby Dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before the crew knew what was happening, he was gone, killed by a rope. The crewmen stood still for an instant, as if in a dream. Then, turning toward the ship, they asked, The ship! Great God, where is the Pequod?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through the darkness they saw the Pequod sinking into the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The harpooner is still hanging onto her high masks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then a whirlpool of water grabbed hold of the ship and spun it around and around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until all its crew, every oar, every lance pole, every floating piece of the Pequod, everything was carried to the bottom of the ocean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the great white whale swam away. And the sea rolled on the same as it had been rolling for five thousand years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While Wendy, John and Michael were upstairs with their parents, the lost boys were waiting calmly outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanted to give Wendy time to tell her parents about them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon Mrs. Darling opened the front door and they all entered the hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They stood in a line smiling in front of Mr. and Mrs. Darling, took off their hats, and tried to act like gentlemen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They looked quite silly wearing their pirate clothes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Mr. Darling worried that the family didn't have enough money to raise nine children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Darling was embarrassed at her husband's worries, and he finally agreed that they could all become one big happy family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter landed next to Wendy and said a final goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Darling stood close beside her daughter, worried that Wendy might disappear again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She told Peter that she would be happy to be his mother also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her voice was so full of desire that her mother came over and grasped her hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make sure she didn't fly off again with Peter at that very moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't think there were still any fairies. I thought they were all dead, Mrs. Darling said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are always new fairies, Wendy calmly told her mother. When a baby laughs for the first time, a new fairy is born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The white ones are girls and the purple ones are boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter asked Wendy, hopefully, May I go? Please, Mommy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, certainly not, said Mrs. Darling. I have waited a long time for you to return home. I hope to keep you here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Peter needs a mother to take care of him, she cried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do you, my wonderful daughter, replied Mrs. Darling. Finally, Peter flew away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But before he left he made Wendy promise to come and see him once a year. Mrs. Darling agreed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like she promised, she went to see Peter every year until she was quite old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jane flew to the Neverland with Peter every year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Jane grew up, she had a baby also, named Margaret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon, Margaret will go see the Neverland and someday in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Margaret will have a daughter and she will fly to the Neverland also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And children will do this forever, for as long as they believe in their dreams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose the reason why so many teacups and plates are always on the table is because it's always 6 o'clock, she asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have to keep moving to different parts of the table? asked Alice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what happens when you get back to the same place you started from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The March Hare interrupted because he was getting bored.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though it was quite rude, Alice was alarmed by the March Hare's remark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She didn't continue with her idea about the tea table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But instead changed the subject and said simply, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I don't know a good story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they started to pinch him on both sides together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Dormouse quite slowly opened his eyes, yawned and replied,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being quite simple at times, she was always interested in what people ate or drank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After thinking for a minute, the Dormouse said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's impossible, Alice remarked. Tricol is a medicine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You eat treacle when you want to stop poison from harming you. If the sisters were eating treacle, they'd be sick all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did they live at the bottom of a well? Alice wanted to know


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Dormouse again took a minute or two to think about it. Then he remarked,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's no such thing as a triacle well," Alice cried angrily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Dormouse's feelings were hurt by Alice's remark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, do go on, Alice said, trying to make him feel better. I promise I won't interrupt you again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the Dormouse, for he was quite stubborn. However, he decided to continue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what did they draw? asked Alice who had forgotten to keep her promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the March Hare moved into the Dormouse's place, and Alice moved into the seat of the March Hare. In all this moving over one place,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where did the three sisters draw the triangle from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, now that you ask me, said Alice,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice couldn't stand any more of their rude behavior, so she stood up angrily and walked away. She looked back once or twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was rather hoping the hatter and the hare would call after her and ask her to come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the last time she looked back at them, she saw they were trying to make the Dormouse fit into the teapot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll never go back there again, Alice said, walking through the wood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was certainly the most stupid tea party I've ever been to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She came upon a tree that had a front door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's very curious, she said, but everything's curious here. I may as well see what's inside. Once again, just as in the beginning of her adventure, Alice was in the long hall and near the same little glass table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll do better this time, now that I know what to do, she said to herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, she took the golden key and unlocked the door that led into the garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She ate a little piece of the mushroom she had kept in her pocket until she was about a foot high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice arrived among the bright flower beds and cool fountains of the beautiful garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a large rose tree at the entrance of the garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The roses were white, but there were three gardeners busily painting the petals with red paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was very strange to Alice and she decided to walk up and ask what they were doing. Just as she was ready to ask, she heard one of them say


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asked the one who had spoken first. His name was Two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly he spotted Alice in the garden. With the wave of his arm they bowed low to Alice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you please let me know, asked Alice, why you are painting those white roses red?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five and seven didn't say a word. They just looked at two, who said, in a low voice,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just then, Five, who had been nervously looking around, called out, The Queen! The Queen! instantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five, seven, and two threw themselves flat on their faces upon the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a sound of footsteps in the distance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice wasn't nervous, though, because she was eagerly looking forward to seeing the Queen. First, ten soldiers came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were carrying clubs, and they were the same shape as the gardeners, long and flat like a pack of cards, with their hands and feet at their corners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next came ten courtiers, or attendants in the royal court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're holding hands and dancing happily along after the attendance. The children were all covered with hearts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then came the guests of the royal family, and these were mostly kings and queens. They looked very fine indeed. In their company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was the white rabbit who was running about and talking nervously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kept smiling at everything that anybody said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Alice's surprise, he didn't even notice her, but went running on by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The knave of hearts was carrying the king's crown on a soft red cushion. He proudly marched along behind the rabbit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last but not least, in this wonderful company were the King and Queen of Hearts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What good is it to have a parade if people don't get to see it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she decided to stand still and wait. When the royal party came up to Alice,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all stopped, looking at her very strongly. Alice could feel her heart beating quickly, and her legs started to shake. She was even having trouble breathing, and she felt dizzy. For a moment she was afraid she would faint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly the queen turned to the knave of hearts, and pointing at Alice cried loudly, Who, pray tell, is she?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly everybody turned to look at Alice. She had never been so frightened in her whole life. She could hardly speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though she knew that the Queen of Hearts had asked her name and was waiting impatiently for her answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it isn't, said the White Rabbit. That's why it's so strange. The jury was very puzzled at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Smee, he called. I hear the captain, said Smee to Starkey. He must be swimming out to the ship to meet us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Captain, we tied up Tiger Lily and are leaving her on the rock to die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smee called out happily. Let her go free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, cut the ropes and let her free. Why, Captain? Do it at once, it is my order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or I'll push my hook into your heart slowly. This is very strange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lost boys have found a mother. This is terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A mother cares for her children. Her nest must have fallen into the lake. But a mother never leaves her eggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can catch the boy's new mother and make her become our mother. That's an excellent idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hook replied, We will first catch the lost boys and carry them to the ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll then make them jump into the water, and we'll make Wendy into our mother.

[Assistant] He asked, Well, we let her free like you ordered, replied Smee. You let her go? shouted Hook angrily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You called to us from across the lake and told us to cut her ropes. I certainly did not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something very strange is happening here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ghost that haunts this dark lake tonight. Do you hear me, ghost?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am captain of the ship Jolly Roger, James Hook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are not. I am Captain Hook. You lie? The voice answered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey ghost, he called. Do you have another voice?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jump into the water, Smee. Starkey, you protect the boat. Catch him dead or alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the prisoners are unfortunate friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when will another train pass here from San Francisco?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tomorrow evening? But then it will be too late! We must wait!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If my master does not leave this car during those four days,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We may hope that chance will not bring him face to face with this American. We must, if possible, keep him from leaving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The idea to go for a swim had of course been Roberts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He made the suggestion and many people decided that it was an excellent idea and headed right away for the beach. Robert, however, was the last to go. He wanted to be among the couple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was walking with her husband and the rat he knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was aware of Robert walking some distance behind her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She thought it strange that he chose not to walk with them. It made her think about how lately


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had not been spending as much time with her as before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She found that she missed his company when he was not around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The air was full of interesting smells and sounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All surrounding the various groups of people walking toward the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Music could be heard coming from a nearby hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The night sky was full of the moon's soft brightness. The sea was very calm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone went into the water as naturally as they walked in the fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna, who, up until that time, had not known how to swim, suddenly found herself able to do it on her own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like a young child realizing for the first time that it could walk. She cried out happily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She felt as though she had total control over her body and could do almost anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone who had tried to teach her to swim that summer felt that it was his lessons that had finally helped her to be successful. It's so simple, Edna thought to herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did it take me so long to realize how simple it is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had no desire to join the others in their games in the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wanted to enjoy the feeling of swimming all on her own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She swam toward the light of the moon on the water. It seemed as though


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She were reaching for the end of the world every time she stretched her arms forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a short while she looked back to see how far she had gone. In fact, she was still quite close to the beach. However, for a new swimmer the distance seemed quite great. She felt as though she would never be able to get back. For a moment she believed that she might die out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then she managed to gather up enough strength to make it back safely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She did not tell anyone except her husband about her moment of fear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought that I was in serious trouble out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna then got out of the water, dried herself off, and, after changing into her evening clothes, began to walk back to her cottage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No thanks, and continued along the path. A few minutes later, Robert caught up with her. I didn't leave because I feared the water, she said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He answered, Well, why did you stop swimming and come to me now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you mean? How should you know I'm tired?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't possibly understand what I'm feeling this evening. It's been such a wonderfully unusual night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I'll ever experience another one like it. Everything seems different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people around me seem to be almost ghosts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't make fun of me, Edna said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It upset her that Robert did not seem to take her seriously. However she did not realize that he had been quite serious. He knew what she was feeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of explaining, he simply gave her his arm to hold onto, for she was tired. She accepted his arm, but continued to use her own strength to carry herself forward. She was not thinking about her tiredness now. Her mind was somewhere else and she was trying to catch up with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robert helped her to lie down on a hammock that was in front of her cottage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have one already, she answered, searching for it through the darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking a big breath, she relaxed into the hammock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He suggested, sitting down on the porch floor,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And taking hold of the rope that connected the hammock to a nearby tree. It's up to you. Please don't move the hammock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you mind handing me the sweater that's sitting in the window over there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got up and walked across the yard to the window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna followed him with her eyes as he passed under different areas of shadow and moonlight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He then returned with her sweater and she took it from him, but did not put it on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said that you could do whatever you wanted, she answered. He then decided to make a new cigarette.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once he finished he lit it and smoked quietly Nobody said a word for the rest of the night


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it would have been impossible to put into words how much they wanted one another at that moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robert stood up immediately and told her good night before walking away. She did not respond, but simply followed him with her eyes again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he passed through the darkness and light of the night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The story of Theseus. The birth of Theseus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the year 1300, a son was born to King Aegis and his wife, Aethra.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a fine boy and they named him Theseus. Just a year earlier, Aegis had met Aethra in her city of Troizan where she was a princess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the last year they had stayed there together, but now King Aegis had to leave and return to his own kingdom, and it was decided that Aethra would not go with him, but would instead stay in the city where she was born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] King Aegis was deeply sad about leaving his wife and son, but that was his fortune.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before leaving he walked around the castle with his wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have wished my whole life for a son who would become brave and strong and rule my kingdom when I become old. Raise Theseus into a great man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do not tell him that his father is a king. Instead, wait until he is old enough to move the stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once he is wearing my shoes and holding my sword.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell him the truth about his father and send him to meet me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A G.S. and Aethra then kissed one another and walked to the shore. Boats were waiting for the king there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he got onto the largest ship and left Troazen forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aethra cried softly as she watched his ship sail away and held baby Theseus in her arms tightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She whispered into her little child's ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was clear that he would one day be a strong man. As he grew his mother told him that his father was the god Poseidon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that he would one day become a great hero because of his good blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She raised and taught her boy according to the tradition of kings in Troasin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And provided him with many famous teachers of arts and war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His knowledge grew quickly, and his skill with the sword could not be beaten by any other young boy in the kingdom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day, when Theseus was still a boy, the great hero Hercules came to visit the castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hercules was wearing the skin of a lion that he had killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when the castle guards saw him, they thought that he was a real lion and ran away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only Theseus was unafraid and stood there with a sword in his hand, prepared to fight the animal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well done, young boy," said Hercules, laughing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day you will become a great hero as strong as I. Indeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Theseus grew up to be a very strong and brave man, and was unusually smart as well. On Theseus' 16th birthday, his mother took him to his father's stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Theseus lifted the rock easily and found the sword and the shoes that King Aegeus had left there for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Theseus was surprised to hear this and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But mother, isn't my father the god Poseidon?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though he had enjoyed thinking that he was the son of a god,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was even happier to know that he had a flesh and blood father whom he could meet and love. He decided to leave for Athens at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that time, most people traveled to Athens by boat because the road to the capital was filled with many dangerous giants. These giants were all very cruel and violent. They enjoyed killing men just for fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Athra told her son about all of the terrible giants who waited on the road and asked him not to travel that way. But Theseus told her that he wished to be a great hero and would kill all the giants and make the road safe for others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever she said, Athra could not convince him to go to Athens by another way. Theseus packed his things, kissed his mother, and left for Athens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not easy for Mr. Pontellier to criticize his wife for not taking good care of the kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not have any clear proof that she did a poor job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of this, every time after he became angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And said something about it to Mrs. Pontellier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would simply get back on their feet and continue to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kids like them liked to be rough with one another and they would get into all kinds of fights with the other little boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could not stand the nurse, whom they felt was only useful for helping them to keep a good appearance, fixing their hair for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wiping the dirt from their clothes, and so on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Pontellier was not a very motherly mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of the other mothers at Grand Isle were the type who never stopped protecting their children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they saw their main purpose in life was to watch over them as carefully as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the mothers at Grand Isle, a woman named Adele Ratignolle, was very much this kind of mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her physical attractiveness was so obvious that only the most uncommon words could be used to describe her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was like a female hero from a traditional novel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her husband would have to have been a complete idiot not to love her with all of his heart and soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had beautiful golden hair that refused to be held up on her head by a pin. Her blue eyes were like precious stones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her lips had the redness of freshly picked cherries. She was getting a little fatter, but it did not really matter. Her beauty was no less perfect than before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing bad could be said about any part of her body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a pleasure to look at her pretty hands as they worked in the afternoon sunlight, sewing clothing for her children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Madame Retignolle liked Mrs. Pontellier very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And would often spend her afternoons sewing on the Pontellier's front porch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, she was present when the box for Mr. Pontellier arrived. At the time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was making clothing for her children to sleep in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The design she had in mind for the baby's clothing was very strange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The material would completely cover the child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only allowing for the baby's mouth, eyes and nose to be seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wanted to protect the child from the cold air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That can quietly enter houses during the winter and make people ill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Pontellier thought that this was a bit too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She herself did not think it was necessary to spend her summer vacation


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worrying about the winter that would come five or six months from now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, she did not want to be unfriendly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she agreed to help Mrs. Ratignolle make the clothing. With them, as they began to cut the material, was Robert


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Pontellier sat on the staircase, occasionally passing candy to her friend, Madame Ratignolles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Madame could not decide which piece of candy she wanted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wondered if some of them might be unhealthier than the others. Would they make her fat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually she chose a piece of dark chocolate and put it into her cherry red mouth. She was already seven years married.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had three children and was planning to have a fourth one in the near future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very often she would talk about some problem or illness that she had. There was nothing to make anyone believe that these illnesses were real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Madame Retignolles always looked perfectly healthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she insisted that she was ill in some way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robert tried to comfort her by telling her that he had heard of a woman who had lived on nothing but chocolate for many years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But seeing Madame Ratignolle's face become more serious,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He decided to stop telling the story and talk about something else completely unrelated. Mr. Pontellier was a Creole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Creoles were people with French and Spanish ancestors who combined their European culture with the culture of the southern United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Specifically within the state of Louisiana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Pontellier still felt quite uncomfortable around her husband's Creole family, and most Creole people in general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the people at Mrs. LeBrunes were Creole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had an easy way of talking around one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were not afraid to say how they felt about anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they were not shy about talking about even the most personal things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This kind of expressive freedom was difficult for Mrs. Pontellier to get used to. Often, when she heard such conversations, her face would turn red from embarrassment. But the more time she spent among the creoles, the more comfortable she began to feel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long ago, Greece was divided into many different small kingdoms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of these kingdoms was ruled by a man named King Midas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many people said that he had more gold than any other king in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though he was rich, Minus was so greedy that he always wanted to be richer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His favorite thing was gold and he would do anything to get more. Truly, he wished that everything in his kingdom could be gold and he hated looking at any object that wasn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wore yellow robes and slept in a yellow bed because they reminded him of gold. He even used a golden knife and fork to eat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Midas loved gold so much that he named his only daughter Marigold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there was anything that King Midas loved as much as gold, it was his young daughter. She was a beautiful little girl and she loved to play in the castle's garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each morning she would pick flowers and bring them to her father and each morning her father would say the same thing. What beautiful flowers, my daughter!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing that could make them more beautiful is if they were gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day, while out playing in the garden, Mary Gold found an old man sleeping in a bed of flowers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She called to her father and he came out quickly to see who it was. The man was not an ordinary man. In fact, he was not a man at all. His name was Selangus and he was a satyr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was good friends with Bacchus, the god of wine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When King Midas found Silenus, he did not punish him for destroying his garden. Actually, Midas just laughed at the old man because he was drunk on too much wine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The noise awoke Salinas, and King Midas invited him inside to have dinner and wine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Solanus stayed as the king's guest for ten days, and the two men merrily drank wine and ate great dinners the whole time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After ten days, Bacchus came to find Silenus. When he arrived at the castle, he found Silenus and Midas walking in the garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there you are, Salinas, began Bacchus. Have you been enjoying yourself here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Silenus told Bacchus what a wonderful time he had been having and about King Midas's kindness. Bacchus was impressed and decided to reward Midas for his good treatment of Silenus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Midas only thought about it for a second and said, I wish that everything I touch be turned into beautiful yellow gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Midas, you are the richest king in the world, said Bacchus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No other man has as much gold as you. Do you truly want more? I may be the richest, said the king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I would like much more, for gold is the best and the most wonderful thing in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you sure you will not regret your wish? asked Bacchus. I am very sure, answered King Midas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will give you your wish then," said Bacchus. At sunrise tomorrow morning your touch will turn anything into gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next day Midas awoke very early. He was very excited to use his magic power and make his whole kingdom into gold. As soon as the sun came up above the mountains


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Midas tried his magic power by touching the bed lightly with his hand. Instantly the bed turned into gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He put on some of his now gold clothing and ran around the castle touching everything he could see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His magic gift turned it all into shining yellow gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He even ran out into the garden and touched all of the trees and flowers and they all became gold as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The king soon felt hungry and went back inside to eat his breakfast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before sitting down, he touched the table, chairs and plates and they all turned into gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was so happy that he ordered his cooks to make him a great meal of all his favorite foods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The servants came in carrying many plates of food and King Midas looked out at all the delicious meats and cakes. Now a strange thing happened. He reached for an egg and put it on his plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he looked down, he saw that the egg had turned into gold. He then lifted a glass of clear cold water to drink, but it became gold too. The same thing happened with all of his food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cakes turned to gold. The meat was hard and yellow and shiny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As much as he tried he could not get anything to eat. It had all become gold, gold, gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just then, Marygold came running in from the garden. She was holding a flower in her hand and crying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are you crying, my love? King Midas asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something terrible has happened to the flowers, cried Mary Gold and held up a gold rose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why, there isn't anything wrong with the flowers, said the king to his daughter. They are better than before. They are gold. Marygold did not care, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Midas did not like to see his daughter crying and reached his arms around her and held her tightly. It will be okay, he said. Daddy will plant new flowers for you. Marygold did not answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Midas looked down at her, he saw that she too had become gold. Suddenly the king became very afraid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had lost his daughter, the most wonderful thing in the world to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, great Bacchus, I was wrong! Midas cried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do not want the golden touch. Please take away this horrible power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you sure that you do not want the golden touch? asked Bacchus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am sure I understand better now, said the king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I now see that gold isn't the greatest thing in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you now see that there are things in life more valuable than gold, said Bacchus. I will take away your golden touch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take this bucket to the river behind the castle and fill it with water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pour this water on anything you have turned into gold, and it will return to its original state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] King Midas took the bucket and rushed to the river. He returned just a few minutes later and poured the bucket of water on his daughter. Instantly she became flesh again. Midas felt as happy as he had ever felt and held his daughter tightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The king then used the water to change back his food and water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and Mary Gold sat down together and had a great meal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and Mary Gold walked around the castle together, changing back everything that he had touched earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing that never changed back was Mary Gold's hair. It had turned from black into a golden yellow, and it stayed that way for the rest of her life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must show women that you are the boss. Don't let them get away with such behavior. That is the only way to deal with them, believe me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it's a man. I hear a man's footsteps on the rock floor, yet I see no one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me the eye, sister. I am younger than you and can see better with it. I will find this young man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give it back, you thief. We'll make you sorry, we will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long ago Medusa was once a beautiful woman with two sisters. Medusa was very vain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she told her sisters that she was more beautiful than even the goddess Athena. And her sisters agreed with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, Athena heard what Medusa had said and was very angry. She decided to punish them all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She changed Medusa and her sisters into Gorgons, the most terrible and ugly monsters on this earth. They have the body of a woman, but their legs have become snakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also Medusa's long beautiful hair was turned into a group of snakes as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her face is so ugly that if anyone looks into her eyes they will be changed into stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only way to look at her is by using a mirror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She lives with her sisters on the island of the Gorgons, far to the north of here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your husband was speaking about you this evening, Mrs. Huntington.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Huntington told us tonight that he indeed has no wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And will gladly give you to anyone who asks. What do you think of this news, Mrs. Huntington?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Huntington, you are cruel to me. I must speak. He cried. You must allow me to leave with you. Let me protect you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps I'll read it another day, but please give me the keys to your desk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you want to hear anything about your husband, Mrs. Huntington?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think you're better without him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking of leaving him and all those careless men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not too late to change now, is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, she doesn't seem to mind those habits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna tried to work on her painting in the early morning, but finding it too difficult to think, she decided to go visit Miss Rice. On her way there, she met Madame Ratignolles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her friend complained that it seemed Edna had forgotten her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd suggest that you have someone move in with you until your husband returns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are saying that Alcee Araben often comes to your home. I wouldn't trust him at all if I were you. He's got a terrible reputation with women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna made no comment about this, and instead,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Told her friend that she had an appointment to meet someone in the city. She promised to visit Adele soon. When she knocked on Miss Rice's door, no one answered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna then let herself in to wait for the pianist to return home. Miss Rice had given her the key so that she could come and go as she pleased. Edna often went there in the afternoon to relax and talk about Robert. To pass the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She sat at the piano and tried to play a simple song with one hand. Then there was a knock at the front door. She cried out, Come in! At first nothing happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then a moment later a figure came through the doorway. It was Robert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She stayed seated to avoid making her excitement too obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Walking up to her and putting her hand in his.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you just return today? Edna asked with a shaking voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breaking off the stem of a flower on top of the piano.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It hurt Edna to hear that his reason for returning had nothing to do with her. She got up to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] asked Robert. She won't return until late, Edna answered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Putting on her hat and walking toward the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robert said, following her out of the apartment. When they arrived at her home, Edna invited Robert to come in for dinner. He resisted at first, making excuses that his mother was expecting him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, he suddenly, completely changed his mind and accepted the invitation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As they waited for Celestine to serve dinner they chatted about Mexico.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same thing The very same thing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Picking up a photograph of Alcee Aroban that was lying on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I've collected many photographs this year. It's for my painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Robert began to roll a cigarette for himself,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And began to ask him all kinds of questions about the woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That that week's card party was cancelled at Mrs. Merriman's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I don't know about that, said Edna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A beautiful Mexican woman made him a tobacco bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Robert, getting up and walking out the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure you say that to all of the women I'll say. She said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feeling terribly bothered that Robert had left so quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phew. You wouldn't believe the night I had. What a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're very uninteresting. I can tell you everything he wrote in them now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next day, Mr. Pontellier wanted his wife to meet him in the afternoon at a store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For she did not feel that they needed new shelves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you try saving some money instead of always spending it? She suggested a little angrily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He felt disappointed that she did not plan to go with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However there was no time to think much about this. He had to leave for work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gave his wife a kiss, told her she was looking a little unhealthy and should get some exercise and then headed for his office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna went out on the front porch and stood for a short time. Her two children were playing in the yard. Their nurse followed them close behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And pretended to be having as much fun as they were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna then pulled a few flowers from the vine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She cared very little about what was going on around her and suddenly felt like she did not belong to this world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She went back inside and took a look at some of the pictures she had drawn in the past. The mistakes were obvious to her. She began to try and improve one of them but soon found that she was not in the mood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She then chose several of the worst pictures and, after showering and dressing for the day, took them with her out of the house. She began to think about Robert. Many times she had tried to forget about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he would always eventually return to her thoughts. She could not prevent it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was interesting that her thoughts were not memories of certain things the two of them had done together. Her thoughts were simply about him. He was somewhere out there in the world. He existed. And that was enough to make her constantly think about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was Madame Ratignolle's home that Edna was walking toward with her paintings under her arms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their friendship had remained as strong in the city as it had been at Grand Isle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her home was not far from the Pontelliers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Ratignolle owned and operated a small drug store that was located on the ground floor of their apartment building. He had an excellent reputation as an honest and hardworking businessman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me give the servants some things to do first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After giving her servants a list of things to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adele took Edna's hand and pulled her to a comfortable room at the front of the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Madame Rantigneault's beauty seemed even greater than before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gown that she wore fit her body very well and left a lot of her skin uncovered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, one day I'd really love to draw you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been thinking about taking some drawing lessons lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I brought a few old things I'd done before. Have a look at them. What do you think? Should I continue to study or should I give it up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna was well aware that Adele knew almost nothing about drawing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she wanted to hear some words of encouragement from her friend. She needed to hear them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Madame Ratignolle took the pictures from Edna and looked them over carefully. Oh! These are wonderful!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why, I feel like I could reach into the picture and pick up one of those pieces of fruit in it. It's so real. You really shouldn't give it up, Edna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her friend's praise did not make Edna feel any better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She kept a few of the pictures and gave the rest to Adele as a gift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Mr. Retignol came into the house a little while later,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His wife proudly showed him the pictures Edna had given them. He smiled and thanked Mrs. Pontellier. He was a very friendly man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three of them sat down to have lunch in the dining room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Ratignolle thought that Edna was looking a little unhealthy and suggested she take some of his medicines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He then chatted with the women about all sorts of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna found that it was excellently prepared and tasted delicious. When she left them, Edna could not help feeling sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ratignolles were certainly happier than the Pontelliers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But their happiness seemed empty and false to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She felt that her friend Adele would never get to experience life as it really was meant to be experienced. She was too well protected from the world, from troubles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the things that make life interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You seemed quite cold to me the other day which made me quite uncomfortable. I was certain that you were angry with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I am very glad to find that you do not really blame me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can easily believe it was a great relief to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your situation is unfortunate, as Mr. Farrar's, I believe, is entirely dependent on his mother. He is only two thousand pounds himself, the rest he receives from his mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a fear that if he marries me without his mother's approval, he shall receive no more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Mrs. Farrar's would rather give all her fortune to Robert out of anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what is your plan for the future regarding Mrs. Fraws?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore I do not plan to marry hurriedly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now my plan is that he should find employment as quickly as possible. Then I would appreciate your help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was wishing you could speak to your brother about employing Edward at Norlin as a minister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] John Dashwood would be more of an influence on my brother's decision to employ him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Mrs John Dashwood would not prove Edward becoming a minister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I believe my help would not assist you either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must give me advice on this troubling matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honor your advice above everyone else's. You are an indifferent person.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, Helen, I was thoughtless, and will never do such things again. Please, don't be angry with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I drank too much wine this evening and did not realize how foolish I was being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Helen, forgive me this one time, and I will never repeat such behavior.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as you have that ugly little thing, you do not care for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 29 The Neighbor


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 21 When Edna came to Miss Rice's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She found the woman repairing a pair of boots next to one of the many large windows she had throughout her apartment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought you were just like all those false women who say things they don't mean. Miss Rice said, stopping her work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were you hoping I would come? asked Edna. I'm happy to see you, yes. I guessed that you didn't like me very much. Well, to be honest, I don't really know how I feel about you. Edna replied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miss Rice appreciated this kind of honesty. You know what? I'm going to get you a cup of coffee, she said. Please, have a seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then she went over to the stove and brought back two hot cups of black coffee. I received a letter from Robert. Miss Rice suddenly said, He sent you a letter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edna asked in surprise, as she took a small drink of her coffee. Yes, is that so surprising? I have to admit, however, he only wrote about you the whole time. Oh, please, can I read it? asked Edna, suddenly excited. But it was written to me, for my eyes only.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you just told me that the whole thing is about me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He asked me to play his favorite piano piece for you. He wants me to write him back and tell him how you liked it. Can't I read it? No, sorry. Well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then why don't you play the song he likes for me? It's starting to get late. Shouldn't you be getting back to your home? That's not important. Play for me, please. But what have you been doing lately? Nothing much. Mostly drawing. I'm trying to become an artist, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Artists must have natural talent, and they must be extremely brave. They have to take risks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then she opened a drawer and pulled out an envelope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miss Rice played Robert's favorite song. The music and the letter made Edna cry. When the song was over,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She turned around and asked if she could visit Miss Rice again. Of course. Whenever you like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Twenty-four hours passed since White Fang bit Weedon Scott's hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the past, White Fang was always beaten after he hurt a person. Therefore White Fang still expected punishment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not understand why the man had not beaten him yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weedon Scott walked to White Fang and sat on the ground. He did not hold a gun or a club. He held nothing. It was strange. Also, White Fang did not have a chain on his neck. He could walk or run anywhere that he wanted. He was not used to this type of situation, so he decided not to run away. He wanted to see what the man would do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man was quiet. He did not move. He began to talk. His voice was very soft and gentle. No one had ever gently talked to White Fang before. It made White Fang feel very good. He started to feel safe with the man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a while the man got up. He went inside the house. Then he came outside again. He had a piece of meat in his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man put the meat on the ground near White Fang's feet. He carefully smelled the meat again. White Fang decided that the meat was safe. Then he ate the meat. Nothing happened. The man wanted to give him another piece of meat. The man put it on the ground again. White Fang ate the meat again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weedon Scott repeated this many times. Finally, he did not put the meat on the ground. The meat stayed in his hand. Because the other meat was okay, White Fang decided to trust Weedon Scott. White Fang ate the meat from Weedon Scott's hand. Nothing bad happened. Again, White Fang ate meat from Weedon Scott's hand. The man then began talking again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White Fang was nervous, but he let the man touch him. His body was very tense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His ears lay flat on his head and he growled, but the man kept touching him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weed and Scott moved his hand up and down on White Fang's fur. White Fang kept growling. His body was still very tense. Weed and Scott kept gently talking. He began to relax his body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the man touched his fur, it was actually pleasant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White Fang was experiencing two opposite feelings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was afraid and expecting the man to harm him. Yet at the same time, he enjoyed the man's kindness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly Matt came outside. He saw Weedon Scott touching White Fang. He was very surprised. Wonderful, he shouted. When Matt spoke, it frightened White Fang. White Fang jumped. He quickly ran from Weedon Scott. He growled at Matt. Matt looked at Weedon Scott. Then Weedon Scott walked to White Fang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this time, White Fang continued to look at Matt and growl. He again touched White Fang's head. This time, White Fang was not afraid. White Fang started a new life with Whedon Scott. It was the first time a person was kind to him. Whedon Scott was very patient. It took a long time, but White Fang came to trust Whedon Scott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weedon Scott never put a chain on White Fang. He allowed him to walk freely near the house. White Fang liked Weedon Scott, so he did not run away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His new life was much better than life with Beauty Smith. Because he liked Weedon Scott so much, White Fang guarded Weedon Scott and his house. At night, while the other dogs slept, White Fang would stay awake. He would walk near the house all night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White Fang understood which people were visitors and which people were thieves. If the man walked loudly and confidently, then the man was a visitor. If the man walked quietly and nervously, then the man was a thief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weedon Scott pitied White Fang. He knew that his past master was very cruel. Therefore, Weedon Scott was very kind to White Fang. Every day he spent a lot of time with White Fang. He often gently touched White Fang's fur. White Fang learned to enjoy this activity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over time, White Fang began to love Weedon Scott. Therefore,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he was with Weedon Scott, he was extremely happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he was not with Whedon Scott, he was extremely sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weedon Scott became the most important thing in White Fang's life. He was the center of White Fang's world. Every morning,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White Fang waited for Weedon Scott to come out of the house. Every night, when Weedon Scott returned home, White Fang would run to greet him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White Fang learned to not attack Weedon Scott's other dogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dogs, on the other hand, learned to live with White Fang. They knew he was stronger than them. Therefore, he became their leader. They always obeyed and respected him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matt and Weed and Scott wanted White Fang to be a sled dog. Therefore


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They prepared a sled and connected White Fang to the sled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weed and Scott's sled was different from Grey Beaver's sled. It was light and easy to pull. Also, unlike Grey Beaver's other dogs,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weedon Scott's other dogs respected and followed the leader. They ran behind him and did not try to attack him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White Fang was very dependable. Every day he pulled the sled. Every night he guarded and protected Weedon Scott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the best sled dog that I have ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were very wise to take him from Beauty Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weed and Scott made an angry and hateful face. That beast! he shouted. He hated Beauty Smith. In the spring, something terrible happened. One day, Weed and Scott disappeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White Fang saw Weed and Scott leave the house with a suitcase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not understand that Weedon Scott was going on a trip. That night, he waited for his master to return. He waited an entire night, but his master never returned. In the morning, Matt opened the door and walked outside. White Fang stared at Matt sadly. He wanted to know where his master was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After many days, Weedon Scott still did not return. White Fang became seriously ill. It was the first time in his life that he was ill. Matt put White Fang inside the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He tried to cure White Fang's illness, but he could not. He wrote a letter to Whedon Scott. In the letter, he told him about White Fang. He wrote, the wolf won't work. He won't eat. He misses you very much. He might die. White Fang was extremely sad. His master had left him. He gave up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All day he lay near the stove staring at the floor. He waited to die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One night, as Matt and White Fang sat in the house, White Fang suddenly got up. He began to excitedly cry. He stared at the door. Then Matt heard someone walking to the door. The door opened. It was Weedon Scott. Where's the wolf? he asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he saw a white thing. He was standing near the stove.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weedon Scott looked at Whitefing. He waited for the wolf to come to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weedon Scott did not hear Matt. He was sitting on the floor with White Fang. He was touching White Fang's fur. White Fang was extremely happy. He pleasantly growled. Then, he did something very unusual. Because of his joy, he found a new way to show the Master his love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always knew he was more dog than wolf, he shouted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Weedon Scott returned, White Fang rested for two more days. He was soon healthy again. Then, he went outside. The other dogs tried to fight with him. Matt watched the fight. He cheered for White Fang. Go, White Fang, go! White Fang fought the other dogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Matt and Weed and Scott sat in the house, they heard a man scream outside. Then they heard White Fang growl. The two men looked at each other and got up. Matt said, Get a light!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they went outside they saw a man laying on the ground. His arms were across his face and neck. He was trying to protect himself from White Fang's teeth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White Fang wanted to bite the man's neck and kill the man. The man's arms were bleeding. There was a lot of blood in the snow surrounding the man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weed and Scott took White Fang. He pulled him from the man. White Fang was growling and showing his teeth. Matt helped the man get up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man took his arms off his face. It was Beauty Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, Matt saw two things in the snow. One was a large club. The other was a thick steel chain. Matt showed the things to Weedon Scott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, Matt pushed Beauty Smith away from the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the time, Weedon Scott was standing with White Fang. He was gently touching him and talking to him. He said, He tried to steal you, didn't he? Well, that was a mistake. White Fang's body was tense. He growled and growled. However, he soon relaxed. His master was protecting him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Dashwood remained at Norland for several months with her three daughters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although she loved her home dearly, she was anxious to leave as Mrs. John Dashwood was quite disagreeable to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mother and three daughters decided that they must find a home near Norland as leaving it would be unthinkable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Dashwood's husband had informed her of his son's promise to take care of her and her three daughters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She trusted that his promise was true and was content that her daughters would not have to worry about income.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She felt guilty for previously not trusting him to be a generous individual but now believed he would indeed help them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Dashwood had never liked the younger Mrs. John Dashwood and never trusted the young woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the young couple and their child had moved into Norland,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mother's feelings towards her daughter-in-law had become worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Dashwood wished to leave Norland after a short time, but Eleanor explained that they first must find a suitable home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During their time at Norland, Eleanor became quite close to the brother of Mrs. John Dashwood, Edward Farrars, a pleasing young man who often came for visits after Mrs. John Dashwood and her husband moved to Norland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Dashwood was quite content that her daughter began a relationship with the agreeable young man who was also quite wealthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edward Farrar's was not handsome nor talkative, but was honest with an open heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His mother and sister wished for him to gain a respected position in the government, but young Edward had no desire for fame or to improve his position in society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edward Farrar's wished for only a quiet, comfortable life. Fortunately, he had a younger brother, Robert, who was more interested in fame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edward had been staying several weeks at Norland before Mrs. Dashwood knew him well, but Eleanor suggested that their mother speak with him more often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Dashwood then made several efforts to know Edward Farrars, and she was soon quite fond of the young man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She believed, as well, the young man was in love with her oldest daughter and expected them to marry soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My, Eleanor, I must tell you Colonel Brandon loves Marianne. He's told me so himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His love for her is far stronger than Willoughby's. What did you tell him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was confident in his feelings, however, and I did not need an answer from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows that he must wait, as Marianne has recently been hurt and is still quite young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do not regret falling in love with him, but I wish I could know that he was not always cheating me and that poor unfortunate girl. Will you feel better if you do know? Yes, my heart will then be at peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a great relief to me what Eleanor told me this morning. I have now heard exactly what I wish to hear. I wish for no change. I never could have been happy with him, after knowing all this. I now have no regrets, nothing but my own foolishness. Rather your mother's foolishness, my child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excellent indeed. Their attention to our comfort, their friendliness, is more than I hoped for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your expenses both in town and the country are large, but so is your income.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe she would not leave us anything. She has no reason to leave us anything


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course she will leave the rest of her fortune to her children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather than three young girls, she is not long known.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is nobody here but you who can understand my feelings right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a moment I shall see the person that all my happiness depends on, that is, to be my mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 37 Mrs. Palmer was so well after two weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That her mother no longer felt it necessary to stay all day with her daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One evening, Mrs. Jennings returned home from visiting her daughter, eager to tell the two Dashwood girls of the news she had just received.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Palmer's doctor was visiting the child as it had recently become ill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During his visit, Mrs. Jennings asked if he had seen Mr. and Mrs. John Dashwood recently. The doctor smiled, explaining that he had seen them the night before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the previous night, while the Steel Sisters were enjoying their stay at the Dashwoods


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anne Steele accidentally mentioned her sister's engagement to Mrs. Dashwood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fanny then began screaming at the two girls, insisting that they leave immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She became so upset that the doctor was called to calm her.


[User] Please transcribe this text
