[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She also opened her bleary eyes and vaguely murmured, Why did you wake up so early?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I hung around in the dream world, he said as he kissed her on her forehead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The girl's breath was like a soft feather gently sliding along his neck. Was it a sweet dream? Of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland changed into a more comfortable posture and let her pillow on his arm again. It's a sweet dream for everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna leaned on him while listening to how the God's punishment, which accidentally entered the dream world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they can all recover the feelings they lost and return to the normal life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She took a deep breath and answered delightfully but with a bit of melancholy and regret. That's so good. If only I could also see the world that you had lived in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means that you have to transform your soul into a light beam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be too high a price to pay for you said Roland, stroking her hair and earlobe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we can build Neverwinter into an ideal place which can be comparable to the Dreamland, can't we? That's alright, Anna chuckled. But are you feeling a little guilty now? Error? Roland was a little stunned. No, I just... No need to answer. Just let me listen to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna put her head on his chest and whispered after a while, Aha, you're a little guilty and worried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're guilty because Phyllis is a woman and also very pretty. And you're also worried that I'll be suspicious. Am I right? Well...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland did not know how to respond to her answer, which could not be more correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna tilted and said, but you're honest, so don't be worried. I trust you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She paused and said with a more serious tone, Roland, you've made this decision to help them, just like what you did to help the witch cooperation association and me. How could I be suspicious of your kind action? It's your duty as a king, isn't it? Roland felt slightly relieved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it were Nightingale, he could not be certain that she would not be suspicious. But Anna was different. If she said she believed it, then she really did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And from her expression, Roland knew that she really supported his decision to find a home for the tequila witches and help them to regain their lost consciousness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna had a kind heart, which had never changed since the day he met her. But from now on you must tell me what you do in the dream world. Promise me. She blinked her blue eyes and whispered in his ear. Rola nodded. I promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna contently smiled, slowly climbed onto him and held his cheeks with both hands. She murmured, now you're mine. She gently bit his collar all the way down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their sweet breathing sounds could be heard coming from the bedroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Phyllis brought the amazing news back to the third border city, the witches burst into a commotion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as we cut off the consciousness in the range of the light beam, we can return to our original appearance. It's not important at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most important thing is that we can restore the sense of touch and smell. Is KFC really that delicious? More delicious than roast meat with honey sauce? Could. Could you take me to the dream world? Me too. I would also like to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They surrounded Phyllis, eagerly asked her all kinds of questions, and behaved totally different from their ordinary calm selves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we go to the castle together, they'll suspect that we want to occupy Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alathia shouted and put a tentacle on Pasha. What do you think of it? Is this a trap by the king of the common people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if it were a trap, I'm afraid that they would probably willingly walk into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until now, she had not recovered from the shock after listening to the story told by Phyllis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A highly developed dream world, a place where all souls could regain their new life, was a temptation which none of Tequila's survivors could refuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the king of the common people, they also found the answer of how to defeat the demons, which they had sought for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After suffering for hundreds of years, they finally saw a glimpse of hope. This incredible feeling struck her with a rare dizziness. It had been a long time since she dreamed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Subconsciously, Pasha hoped that all this was true, but she was not entirely convinced that such a good thing could happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A common person without any magic power became the savior of tequila witches? No wonder Alathea would be vigilant and suspicious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luckily she was aware that she had to send someone to verify what Phyllis had said. That did not mean that she did not trust Phyllis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After breaking with the Union and going into exile, the survivors treated each other as sisters. She was just worried that Phyllis might have been deceived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, this sounded like a fairy tale and a sweet dream. She had to examine it with great caution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking of this, Pasha transmitted her consciousness to everyone's mind. Is King Roland really willing to let the others enter the dream world?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That world has rules that must be followed just as in the real world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To avoid unnecessary changes caused by any exposure, the first batch of people must fulfill his requirements to enter the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'll assume the Pioneer mission and prepare for the admission of more people in the future. Hearing that, Pasha became a little less worried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He needs witches who can move fast, sneak around, control and attack. That means he needs combat witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alephia question, but didn't you say that the power of that world is far above the demons? Isn't his requirement too self-contradictory?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't intend to let us fight against the whole world, but... But what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, to loot in private, Phyllis answered with embarrassment. Of course, the targets are evil people who deserve it. The crowd fell into a brief silence. Wait a minute. Did he think that we're gangsters and thugs? We're respected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her voice was overwhelmed by the sound of the crowd before she could finish her words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those guys have no god stone of retaliation, right? Is there anyone who can stop my continuous fireballs? You'll make too much of a loud noise. His majesty obviously needs quiet actions. My shadow dagger is perfect for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can only shoot within 10 steps, not to mention your weak attacking strength. I can cover for my teammates. Let's go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pasha soothingly patted the back of Alaphia and said, Don't mind them. They have just been bored for too long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The worries and doubts of the senior witches lasted only a day or so and were completely dispelled by the subsequent news. Everything that Phyllis said was real. The third border city began to seethe with excitement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this case, no matter how reluctant Alathea was, she could not stop the other witches who were looking forward to entering the dream world. At this point, the choice of Tequila was obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through the phantom instrument, Pascha conducted a meeting with Roland about the Covenant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The God's punishment witches in the underground city walked past the light curtain one by one, lifting the elbow and pressing on the chest to greet the Lord of Neverwinter, King of Grey Castle, and acknowledge him as the only leader of the United Front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The senior witches who were transformed into original carriers also bent down their main tentacles to show their allegiance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was a type of salute which had only been received by the three chiefs of the union, signifying that Tequila now had a ruler from the common people after more than 400 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alathea was the last one to show up in front of the light curtain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a higher ascendant, Alethe had joined the Blessed Army when she was 20 years old and had fought with the demons for more than a decade to defend the glory of Tequila. Pasha was worried that she would do something unexpected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But ultimately Alathea had chosen to put the Battle of Divine while in the expectations of her companions in the first place and bent her main tentacle to Roland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regardless of how reluctant she was at the moment, her decision still made Pasha feel relieved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it were still in the tequila age, this would definitely be an incredible scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, a long period of more than 400 years could change many things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When a common person showed his amazing potential and grace toward the tequila survivors, their resistance would seem pointless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pasha believed the unanimous view of the three chiefs of the Union that the witches would eventually stand out from the human community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Common people like Roland were only a minority, and the witches would one day return to the position of the rulers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But by then, the relationship between the two sides was bound to be much more harmonious than that of the tequila age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, if they could survive the third battle of divine will, the idea of the witches and the common people working together to maximize their strength would undoubtedly gain in popularity. She did not mind welcoming such a future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was already three days later when Roland actually implemented his looting plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To ensure that Zero would not suspect, he rented a warehouse near the tube-shaped apartment to serve as a temporary landing point for the witches to connect to the Dreamland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as the witch is assembled here before he interrupted the dream, they would still appear in the warehouse when they enter the next time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, the first connection would inevitably be room number 0825 of the tube-shaped apartment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland was puzzled about this and found no explanation for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, he had to wait until Zero went to school every time when a new witch came to the dreamland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During these three days, Roland selected for God's punishment witches, including Phyllis, as the first pioneers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the first two days, he bought some fast food and drinks to entertain them and satisfy their extremely strong desire for food and drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the third day, he could only afford some instant noodles and mineral water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even then, they still enjoyed every bite and nearly lit the seasoning packets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, they had tried, but were stopped by Roland. That would be a discredit to the United Front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As his savings started becoming less, he had to carry out the plan now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the night fell, Roland told Zero that he had to work overtime and would go home late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he went with the four witches to the villa area outside the third ring of the city in two caps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The witches do not just stay in the warehouse to enjoy food and drinks these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a former member of the Quest Society, Faldi had a strong detective ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was able to create a magic bug nest, link her consciousness with bugs such as moths and bees, and release them to spontaneously search for other sources of magic power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was very effective in preventing the attack of demons and could also be used to search for some areas inaccessible to ordinary people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the bugs could not provide visions for Faldy, they helped her to feel the types and sizes of the magic power, including the force of nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After three days of searching, she found more than a dozen magic reaction sources, including Garcia living in 0827.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After excluding the same type, there were still six targets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Among the six targets, the one living in the villa area was most worthwhile to loot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was Roland's plan, searching for the fallen evils through effective magic inspection and looting their force of nature and property.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These mutated monsters did not easily leave their habitats, so even if they were destroyed, their neighbors would not notice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moreover, even if their bodies were found by the police, the case would be transferred to the Martialist Association.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By then, the association would only believe that they were killed by another group of the awakened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would not suspect that another group of superpower bandits were in town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After getting off the cabs, they came to a dark corner and stood around Donnan. She then summoned the Matt curtains to wrap everyone together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This magical ability could make her companions within the reach of the curtain disappear, but it was far beyond being invisible as the vision, smell, and magic breath would also be blocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one could sense the existence of the hidden people without direct touch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Undoubtedly, Donnan would play a crucial role in a surprise attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Faldy's guidance, the five people passed straight through the main entrance and walked all the way towards the foothill of the villa area. Here was the residential area of the rich people in the city. Most villas were built by the hillside with wide yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hardly anyone walked around in the evening, which made it a perfect place for Roland's plan. Here we are. The target is in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Faldy stopped and pointed to a vast, detached compound on the side of the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its parvis was almost as large as the tube-shaped apartment. Damn the enviable rich people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland glanced at the flashing surveillance camera, turned around to look at Ling, the last member of the looting team. No, the pioneering team, and said, it's your turn to help us sneak into the house. Just do as you practiced before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ling nodded and slowly faded into the shadow as if she was sinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of the Tequila survivors could directly walk through any obstacles like Nightingale or Margie, but Ling's ability was enough for this task.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She could melt into any shadow and move freely like water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roll and wave towards the black shadow which had deftly entered into the drapes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A smiling face emerged from the darkness as if to acknowledge his encouragement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This would have been a frightening sight if he had not known that it was a witch hiding inside. Your majesty, enemies are within the hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can sense that their magic powers are nearly as strong as hybrid demonic beasts. Fawlty caution. Can you handle them? Don't worry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Roland passed through the long porch, he discovered that the villa's windows were all covered up with boards and tape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were only a few lights within, making the hall seem rather dim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to the weak air conditioning, he felt as though he had just entered from early autumn into winter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furthermore, the rancid and putrid smell which filled the air caused him to feel nauseous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man dressed in a suit stood motionless in the center of a hall. He was clearly this trip's target.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The instant Roland stepped into the hall, he felt a warmth begin to swell inside his body with an intensity several times stronger than when he first saw the fake man. From the looks of it, Faldy had snagged a big fish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, what distressed Roland was a sculpture of a huge monster hung on the two-story mural wall which the man was facing. He could not tell if it was made of wood or seasoned leather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had a human face and a pair of wings, while its brawny hind legs and slender front paws were curled up in front of its body, a completely mismatching appearance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was close to four meters in length, while the carvings of feathers and veins on its body were highly lifelike, thus marking out its high value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The grotesque taste of rich people, Roland muttered to himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging from the craftsmanship, it was worth at least a million gold royals. Time to act. He looked away from it and placed his attention on the target. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making use of the mat curtains to sneak two meters behind the enemy, Phyllis initiated the first attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this time, the target seemed to sense something and turn his head sharply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, at this distance, even an extraordinary would have no time to dodge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cloth slid through the man's neck and out from his lower back, thereby cutting him diagonally into two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The enemy's eyes stared wide in disbelief as he collapsed onto the floor, and dark red blood spattered all over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The plundering we now have to do is the main point Roland answered while covering his nose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The putrid smell in the air had intensified once more though he was not sure if it was his own false perception. Do you still remember what I taught you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From his experience of plundering the holy city of Hermes, he knew that the price of gemstones fluctuated too greatly and hence it was difficult to sell them off at a suitable price. Gold was certainly far more stable. Of course, the best of all was cash notes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He news to himself. Hope this fella isn't too fond of online shopping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Roland bent his body and intended to convert the force of nature which was mounted on the belly of the man, Faldi suddenly frowned and remarked, Hold on, why do I still sense the presence of magic reaction? What? The other three people startled at once. The source of magic power isn't gone. Instead, it's grown bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as she finished speaking, the sculpture abruptly opened its mouth and revealed a frog-like tongue which thrust directly at Roland. Careful, Your Majesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With no hesitation, Phyllis shielded in front of Roland and used her claws to obstruct the path of the incoming tongue. But Roland was much improved from his former self.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He anticipated the monster's attack before catching hold of Phyllis' waist and rolling toward one side in order to avoid the tongue which was as sharp as an arrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that, the crimson core flew in the direction of the sculpture's mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland noticed that the force of nature, which had entered into a solid state, began to rotate once again upon the monster's touch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monster's movements caused a large swarm of insects to fly out from its back and panically flee in all directions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had obviously been attracted by the monster's magic power, but because Roland could not share what he saw with Faldy, she was not able to discern that there were two different sources of magic reaction in the hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, what do I see? A bunch of martialists delivering themselves to me. The sculpture swallowed the core and began to speak. Thieves like you have no place in this sacred territory. Go to hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It raised its neck as if to inhale a deep breath, and then blew a gush of blood-red air at the people in the hall. It was magic power in its purest form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a flash, the furniture in the room was ripped into smithereens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the mat curtains were struck, Donnan and Falby, who were hiding within, suffered several wounds on their bodies and fell heavily on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortunately for them, they got away from the central and most powerful region of the magical attack by a hair's breadth, or they would have suffered the same fate as the furniture. On the other hand, Roland was in much better shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the magical attack came upon him, the warmth inside him spread all over his body and protected his vital organs like a piece of armor. What form of attack is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland was disconcerted that its ability was completely different from that of witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had never seen magic power directly turn into a potent energy before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever since he acquired the Strange Force, he was able to better understand how magic power worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monster's attack was certainly not something a fallen evil was able to perform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The expressions on the witch's faces were also that of extraordinary surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was clear that the monster's understanding of magic power was a level above theirs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It easily snapped off the rivets, which fixed its wings to the wall, then leapt onto the floor and stooped like a gargoyle in front of the party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You try to take energy from the divine domain without permission and now call the chasers demons? Sheer stupidity. Divine domain? Chasers? Roland began to frown involuntarily. What's it referring to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, a beam of black light sprung from the shadows behind the monster and flew against its cheeks. It was Ling's shadow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A crisp clicking sound was heard as she stuck a dagger into its eyes and out from the back of its head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without pausing to contemplate her success, she escaped back into the shadows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A crack appeared on its wooden-like face, and it now spoke in a shriveled voice which sounded cold and indifferent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think this piece of common metal and tiny amount of magic power can harm me? You have no idea what the divine domain's all about. Now, I shall let you witness the true might of the Lord.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before it finished talking, a series of rupturing sounds broke out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The crack on its face extended to its entire body and subsequently its pitch black shell split into fragments and peeled off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The now revealed interior emitted a dark red glow, as though it was flowing with burning blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When all of its true body was revealed, Roland gaped in shock and horror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Underneath the shell had been a body which was purely formed by magic power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Small clusters of star jades glistened inside its body and gradually converged into a huge star ring at its chest. It was what you could call a magical creature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland somehow sensed that this creature was much more emotionally rich than the fallen evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He thus hoped to gather more intelligence by asking it more questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While doing so, he gestured towards behind him for the two wounded persons, Faldy and Donnan, to leave the place at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a situation arose where the party had to flee quickly, he would certainly run faster than these witches. My lords a being that's everything and nothing at the same time. A presence that none of you can fathom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The creature spread its phantom wings, which emitted a red glow, and stretched its hands towards the floor. Your clever tricks are useless here. You want them to escape now? Too late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scarlet blood flowed from its body and rapidly extended across the surfaces of the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the blink of an eye, the floors, walls and ceiling of the hall turned into a bright red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ling, whose hiding place was now uncovered, was pushed out of the wall by an unknown force, and she fell by Phyllis's side. What, what's this? Faldi cried out softly from behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Roland turned his head, he saw that spiked tentacles had emerged out of the red and black void and ensnared the witch's legs. He recalled that he had seen something similar before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he had no time to contemplate further as the situation was fast deteriorating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An extremely powerful force burst forth from its palm towards Roland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It felt like a huge hammer blow upon impact and sent Roland flying and crashing into the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was, at present, the only person who could move other than Roland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The blade claws on her back danced up and down, hurriedly cleaving the tentacles which had protruded from the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, with an endless number of them to deal with, she was not able to draw close to Roland at the moment. It was now the crunch time, but Roland's mind remained exceptionally clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was entirely no fear in him, as if he had deleted the feeling of fear from his brain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The warm current in him surged ever faster accompanied by the vigorous beating of his heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could feel that an extraordinary change was occurring in his body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of the world's magical power was gravitating towards him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the red glow that extended across the walls became sluggish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The trails of blood circumvented his body as they passed by, and wherever he touched, a blue mark would appear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This process was entirely out of his control. He was unclear about what was happening himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A strange sound reverberated beside his ear while the tones of the tumultuous cries seemed to harmonize. Kill it. Kill it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monster had also begun to notice that something was not right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a slight fluctuation in its drive voice, it asked, What's happening? What've you done to my magic power? Roland did not reply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could feel that the warm current had swelled to its limits and his body subconsciously arched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Repeating its old tactic, the monster raised its hand towards him once more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this time, Roland was not struck down by the monster's force.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the first time, he saw the warm current rush out of his body to form a pair of blue light curtains in front of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the pair collided with each other a dazzling radiance burst forth and hovered above his head which then brought him flying directly into the monster's chest. He swung out a punch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The impact of his fist on the monster's chest was not as he had expected. It felt as if he had just struck a lump of soft liquid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He saw his arms sink into the monster's body, only a finger breath away from the star jades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gritting his teeth, Roland opened his fist and grabbed hold of the most prominent star ring on its chest. At once, the monster let out a deafening roar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mel, this is the Lord's strength. How did you touch it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The galaxy-like ring began to quiver and it gradually changed from its rich red into blue and white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, however, occurred at an extremely slow rate, and there were several relapses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this moment, Roland felt as if he was tussling with a fierce bull.

[Assistant] Fortunately for him, more and more magical power flowed towards him, and it felt like the entire world was blending into one with him. So that's it. I understand now. A vortex-like eye on top of the monster's head opened. You're the one responsible for creating this world. It was you who defeated my lord. Didn't you already call him everything and nothing? How could I even touch him? Roland laughed sardonically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My Lord may be almighty, but He can't stop all of this Himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go back and never return here. Your actions are destroying everything. HSST.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All living things and not only yourself will perish because of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its voice became increasingly unclear, as if it was affected by severe interference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland could feel that the resistance of the star ring was weakening. The color change also became faster. All living things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've no idea where you're from or what intention you possess, but certainly, this world will be better without you. From HSST.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monster was no longer able to spit out a complete sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland further noticed that it was not as emotionally expressive as it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its voice had turned flat and monotonous, as if it was one of those answering machines which provided a fixed response.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it finished speaking, the resistance in Roland's hand vanished instantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The star ring began to spin rapidly and drew all of the surrounding star jades towards itself to form a dazzling white light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a moment, Roland seemed to hear the heartbeat of the earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time, the scene of the surging of magic power was even more spectacular than the previous two times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monster shrunk into a round mass and released a column of silver light that shot straight to the ceiling for an extended period of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Standing in front of it, Roland felt an indescribable satisfaction and bodily pleasure which exceeded the sum of his previous two encounters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was nothing which could compare to the sight of this light column.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The witch's conditions were nothing too serious, except that they had expended all of their magic power. They were still able to walk on their own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Phyllis, when Roland was in a deadlock with the monster, the magic power of all four witches was taken in by him. This was something which could never have happened in the real world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, it was simply one more thing to add to a night when so many unimaginable events had already taken place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a quick search, Roland, carrying a heavy safe together with the car key taken from the suited man, led the witches quietly out of the Foothill Villa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I had a couple of questions that uh, you know, hopefully won't take too much time, so maybe I can do two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the first question I had was whether you've looked at whether these kinds of tools also help sighted people because it seems to me like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having this kind of extra feedback, you know, extra in the case of someone who's sighted would maybe like improve their experience of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and the other question I have is how you think about, uhm, the trade-off or the tension between learning something new that might


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of speed of adoption, which makes some, you know, in the case of a racing game, it's really cool if someone can within a few laps be totally proficient at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also, you know, if it's sort of a more advanced or more difficult technique, you know, maybe speed of adoption is not really the right metrics because it might take longer to pick up, but then actually be like more effective in the long term. So I'm just thinking about how you evaluate your tools and think about that trade off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The options range from a harder Brexit to a softer Brexit. And what better way to judge people's political tastes


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Relationship with your users. Uhm, do you have people that you can follow long term to see the trajectory of their use of potential solutions and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning, and it is not given to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will consider each day's effort, but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, or itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet, when challenge sweeps, the oak will eventually tumble, so it will be my efforts of today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A new chapter in a novel is something like a new scene in a play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I draw up the curtain this time, reader, you must fancy you see a room in the George Inn at Millcote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With such large-figured papering on the walls as inn rooms have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such a carpet, such furniture, such ornaments on the mantelpiece, such prints, including a portrait of George III and another of the Prince of Wales, and a representation of the death of wolves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All this is visible to you by the light of an oil lamp hanging from the ceiling, and by that of an excellent fire, near which I sit in my cloak and bonnet. My muff and umbrella lie on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I am warming away the numbness and chill contracted by sixteen hours exposure to the rawness of an October day. I left Loughton at four o'clock a.m., and the Millcote town clock is now just striking eight. Reader, though I look comfortably accommodated, I am not very tranquil in my mind. I thought when the coach stopped here there would be someone to meet me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked anxiously round as I descended the wooden steps, the boots placed for my convenience, expecting to hear my name pronounced, and to see some description of carriage waiting to convey me to Thornfield. Nothing of the sort was visible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I asked a waiter if anyone had been to inquire after a mis-air, I was answered in a negative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I had no resource but a request to be shown into a private room, and here I am waiting, while all sorts of doubts and fears are troubling my thoughts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a very strange sensation to inexperienced youth, to feel itself quite alone in the world, cut adrift from every connection, uncertain whether the port to which it is bound can be reached.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And prevented by many impediments from returning to that it has quitted. The charm of adventure sweetens that sensation, the glow of pride warms it, but then the throb of fear disturbs it, and fear with me became predominant when half an hour elapsed and still I was alone. I bethought myself to ring the bell. Is there a place in this neighbourhood called Thornfield? I asked of the waiter who answered the summons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, ma'am, I'll inquire at the bar.' He vanished, but reappeared instantly. Is your name eh, eh, Miss? Yes. Personally, I'm waiting for you. I jumped up, took my muff and umbrella, and hastened into the inn passage. A man was standing by the open door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the lamplit street I dimly saw a one-horse conveyance. This'll be your luggage, I suppose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the man, rather abruptly, when he saw me, pointing to my trunk in the passage,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hoisted it onto the vehicle, which was a sort of car, and then I got in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before he shut me up, I asked him how far it was to Thornfield. Matter of six miles. How long shall we be before we get there? Up in an hour and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He fastened the car door and climbed to his own seat outside and we set off. Our progress was leisurely and gave me ample time to reflect. I was content to be at length so near the end of my journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as I leaned back in the comfortable, the not elegant, conveyance, I meditated much at my ease. I suppose, thought I, judging from the plainness of the servant in the carriage, Mrs Fairfax is not a very dashing person. So much the better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never lived amongst fine people but once, and I was very miserable with them. I wonder if she lives alone except this little girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Lowood, indeed I took that resolution, kept it, and succeeded in pleasing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging by the number of its lights, it seemed a place of considerable magnitude, much larger than Loughton. We were now, as far as I could see, on a sort of common, but there were houses scattered all over the district.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt we were in a different region to Lowood, more populous, less picturesque, more stirring, less romantic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now boys. Henry dear, where's the robe you used before we bought you the new one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I, I know what you're thinking. Go ahead and think it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for a night and a day I had all the love and attention two men could give. Now I have nothing, and they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you both to understand that this has been taken out of our hands now. This is the law deciding our lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People fall in love in the steering wheel's race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hiya, JB. Got here as soon as I could. Remind me to give you a medal. Scotch and soda, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, you got enough money to buy all the scotch in town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, I've seen your verse of benevolence before. Ah, but this one is different. So was Goggin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very well. If you'd lived any kind of life at all, you'd know about it too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just received a reservation for Lieutenant Mrs. Robert Taylor. Oh, that would be Ruby Stevens. Forget what she changed her name to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yes, that's it. A bottle of champagne for Ruby and Bob and no check. Yes, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, the Stork Club is the mecca for celebrities from all over the world. They come here to eat, see, and be seen. As part of our audience, they attract an audience. Get it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want the right people here in the club and on my staff. And one thing I demand of my staff is punctuality, a fact you continue to ignore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need plenty of help, good help. People who think of me once in a while. Like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, then use your head. Be on time. I'd like to see you around. Go along now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like things to stay the same. Makes the guy feel like he's really home again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I gotta work fast. If I don't get us a job, I'll lose them. You can't hold guys like these together without dough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing but the best for me. Well say, I brought you a little something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a pretty nifty looking dress you got on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you stop lying? I've heard of things like this happening to other guys while they're away, but I didn't think it could happen to me. I kept thinking you were different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well don't bother then. I wanna make a deal with you. You take care of the checkroom and let me run the store club. Do you mind?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No? Well the way you two came out just now, I thought we were all set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I come back and find you at the York Towers. Dressed like something out of Vogue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the company of an old man you can't explain, and now I see you with the boss's arm around you. Some circumstances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no, but we'll get started eventually and then- Never mind that. I'm all port, what do you guys say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello Miss Peabody, how are you? Yes? Uh-huh. Of course, of course. Alright, I'll be right out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have the key and we're all set. There's only one thing I'd like to make clear to you. I'm accepting your hospitality because I have to. But I want you to know that you're going to get every cent back. Every cent, do you understand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm fine. I've never saw you before in my life. Hi! Is he annoying you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you mustn't do that. Your benefactor is a very generous man, but he wants to stay unknown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, you're a solvent. What can it cost you? Two or three hundred thousand dollars. And of course, the gift tax. Gift tax? What's that? Well, if you'd ever given anything away before, you'd know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I'd use the elevator if you wanted to get there tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were gonna be. It looks like all bets are off, fellas. There isn't a chance of skinning a job for two weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you guys to realize that I appreciate your willingness to string along with me. I was wishing you a lot of luck wherever you go. I'll see you later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are you, son? Very glad to meet you, sir. Walter Winchell tells me you've got a great band. You did?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Swell band, Mr. Weldon. Thank you very much. But you, Judy, you were great. And I'm not too surprised either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always knew you were tops, but I didn't think you had all that talent beside. It's a terrific kick for me to have Judy come through like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just goes to prove you can get so used to a person doing one thing that you fail to realize they can do anything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you understand that, Mr. Wilton? Oh, sure, sure. I understand it very well. I'm proud of you, Judy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing doing. No waltzes there. There's never been a waltz played in the Star Club. Huh. Can't be much of a place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Stork Club was built on soft, peppy music, and it never stops. That's why I have three orchestras, understand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, uh, and by the way, Judy, I know that voice of yours anywhere. Besides, I was sitting with Mr. Winchell when you phoned. Good night, Austin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't think a band was ever engaged under such circumstances before. Expensive apartment to rehearse in, all the food you want to eat. The boss arrives for a nice cozy audition and we're hired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, good morning, Judy. I've got a little surprise for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I've gotta get you straightened up. Now get this. I never gave you anything. Ever. Huh? Why should I? What are you in my life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been in this town for years and nobody ever gives anything away for long without letting you know why. You just sit tight. You're a clever girl. Stick to your singing. It's your real future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand, Mr. Billingsley. No you don't, but you will. Come in, I want to straighten you out too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wilton, what do you think I am, a chump? Not exactly. Thanks. Are you a chump? No, sir. Oh, you're sure about yourself? That's right. But not of me, huh? Well, Mr. Billingsley, my eyes have been opened. How would you like somebody to close them again? Can't we settle this like gentlemen? Well, now you're talking my language. I like you, Wilton. I like your band. And I like Judy. Yes, sir. Don't say yes, sir, like that. Sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at those photographs. Take a good look at them. Those are the only women in my life. That one's pretty young, isn't she? That's my daughter. Oh. They all are except my wife and I'm married to her. Oh, I see. It's about time. Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Billingsley. That letter should have tipped you off. Tom Curtis isn't my lawyer. Tom Curtis? What letter? Oh, she didn't show you the letter. No. And I wonder why. Well, forget I mentioned it to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Mr. Billingsley, what would you do if you were in my spot?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing much. Billingsley's okay. I was wrong about you and him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now you may have made some first mistakes in that first term too. I have in mind for the fact that you were first lady, but you kept your maiden name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock. Written by T.S. Eliot. Let us go then, human eye, while the evening is spread out against the sky. Like a patient etherized upon a table. Let us go through certain half-deserted streets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Streets that follow like a tedious argument of insidious intent to lead you to an overwhelming question. Oh, do not ask what it is. Let us go and make our visit. In the room, the woman come and go. Talking of Michaelangelo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The yellow fog that rubs us back upon the window panes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let fall upon its back the soot that fall from chimneys, slipped by the terrace nearly suddenly, and seeing that it was a soft October night, curled once about the house and fell asleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And indeed, there will be time for the yellow smoke that slides along the street, rubbing its back upon the window pane. There will be be time. There will be time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet. There will be time to murder and create. And time for all the work and days of harm. To lift and drop a question on your plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My howl is his marms and legs are thin. Do I dare disturb the universe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a minute, there is time for decisions and reversions. For a minute, we're reverse. For I have known all of them already. Known them all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have known all the evenings, mornings, and afternoons. I've measured out my life with coffee spoons. I know the voice is dying with a dying fall, beneath the music from a farther wall. So how shall I presume? And I have known the eyes already, known them all. The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase. And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then how should I begin to spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways? And how should I presume? And I have know that the arms already know them all. Arms that are bracketed and white and bare, but in the lamplight, down with light brown hair,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it perfume from a dress that makes me so digress?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully. Smooth by long fingers, asleep, tired, or in malangers. Stretched on the floor, here beside you and me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should I, after tea and cakes and ice, assist?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And would have been all worth it after all. After the cups, the marmalade, the tea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would have been worthwhile to have bitten off the matter with a smile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To have squeezed the universe into a ball. To roll it towards some overwhelming question. To say, I am Lazarus, come from the dead. Come from, tell you all, I should tell you all. If one, setting a pillow by her head. Should say, that is not what I meant at all. That is not it, at all. And would have been worth it, after all. Would have been worthwhile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the sun sets, and the door rewired, and the sprinkled streets. After the novels, after the teacups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a string, would I have been worthwhile if one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl, and turning towards the window, should say that is not it at all. That is not what I meant at all. No, I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was I meant to be. Am I an attendant in Lord? One will do. To swell a progress,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Start a scene or two. Advise the prince, no doubt. An easy tool. Differential. Glad to be of use. Politic. Cautious. And meticulous. So of high sentence. But a bit of tues. At time indeed, almost ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost at times, the fool, I grow old. I grow old. I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they would sing to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have seen them writing C words on the waves, combing the white hair of the wave brown back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With seaweed red and brown, till human voices wake us, and we drown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the car is a farmer, Bill. He's hot and tired. He wants to go home and have a bath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He rubs his eyes. The sun is very hot and the road is long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bill does not want to go to sleep, so he sings some more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A kangaroo hears him and jumps away. Bill laughs, then rubs his eyes again. Just then, Bill sees something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly he is not tired and he is not laughing. The hair on his head stands up. There is something on the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stops the car and gets out. The thing is a long way in the front of Bill. He cannot see what it is. But he does not like the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My first quarter at Lowood seemed an age, and not the golden age either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It comprised an irksome struggle with difficulties in habituating myself to new rules and unwonted tasks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fear of failure in these points harassed me worse than the physical hardships of my lot, though these were no trifles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During January, February, and part of March, the deep snows and after their melting the almost impassable roads prevented our stirring beyond the garden walls, except to go to church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But within these limits, we had to pass an hour every day in the open air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our clothing was insufficient to protect us from the severe cold. We had no boots. The snow got into our shoes and melted there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember well the distracting irritation I endured from this cause every evening, when my feet inflamed, and the torture of thrusting the swelled, raw and stiff toes into my shoes in the morning. Then the scanty supply of food was distressing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the keen appetites of growing children, we had scarcely sufficient to keep alive a delicate invalid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From this deficiency of nourishment resulted in abuse which pressed hardly on the younger pupils.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever the famished great girls had an opportunity, they would coax or menace the little ones out of their portion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after relinquishing to a third half the contents of my mug of coffee, I have swallowed the remainder with an accompaniment of secret tears, forced from me by the exigency of hunger. Sundays were dreary days in that wintry season. We had to walk two miles to Brocklebridge Church, where our patron officiated. We set out cold. We arrived at church colder. During the morning service we became almost paralysed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the same penurious proportion observed in our ordinary meals were served round between the services.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the close of the afternoon service, we returned by an exposed and hilly road, where the bitter winter wind blowing over a range of snowy summits to the north almost flayed the skin from our faces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can remember Miss Temple walking lightly and rapidly along our drooping line, her plaid cloak


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And encouraging us, by precept and example, to keep up our spirits and march forward as she said, like stalwart soldiers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other teachers' poor things were generally themselves too much dejected to attempt the task of cheering others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And behind them the younger children crouched in groups, wrapping their starved arms in their pinafores.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little solace came at tea time, in the shape of a double ration of bread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A hole instead of a half slice, with a delicious addition of a thin scrape of butter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I generally contrived to reserve a moiety of this bounteous repast for myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the remainder I was invariably obliged to part with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Sunday evening was spent in repeating, by heart, the Church Catechism, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters of St. Matthew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And enlisting to a long sermon read by Miss Miller, whose irrepressible yawns attested her weariness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of the reporters who were in the newsroom were gathered around the news desk. And two of the top people from corporate, from Scripps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're there. And immediately when you see that scene, given what's happening to journalism across the country, they're not there to tell you good news. When they explain that the Rocky was for sale for a month,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a difficult and shocking announcement. And do you know what the reaction of so many people in the newsroom was? To whip out a notebook and a pen and start taking notes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, a few of us were writing about it, but not all of us. But that's what we do. It's in our DNA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's difficult for other media to get to the depth. I mean, The Rocky is known for the hard-hitting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Investigations for the stories that get to the bottom of the serious questions that the people who live here have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the announcement, and then there was the weekend, that Sunday evening at dinner, uhm, I think you were at a ball game. That Sunday evening at dinner I said to them, as nonchalantly as I could,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will, how you doing? And Will, we're going to school tomorrow. And by the way, the Rocky Mountain News is for sale. Should we break open our piggy banks and buy it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And was hoping that the conversation would then just sort of go on to the next thing. But our seven year old said, well, she was quiet for a minute. And then she looked at me and said, what happens if nobody buys it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everywhere you go in the community these last two months, I mean, this week I was on the West Slope and talking to, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I would just like to say to our sources, to our readers, thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that I was finally free, I wanted to obey the king's conditions. So, I helped the men build more buildings by lifting large stones, and immediately measured the size of Liliput.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few days after I had been set free, I decided to explore Mildendo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I walked around, the king sent a guide to answer any questions I might have about Lilliput and its people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The city of Mildendo looked like a beautiful city in some rich part of England or Europe. There were many trees, parks, wide streets and large houses. The guide told me that Mildendo had over 500,000 people.

[Assistant] Seeing this beautiful, strange new city made me want to spend time with these tiny, wonderful people. I could hardly believe that I was the first man to discover Liliput, and I wanted to learn more about the people's history and culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The king's palace was in the center of the city. There was a wall around the palace as high as my waist. The palace itself was five feet tall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked the king's permission to step over the wall so that I could look more closely at the palace. On the palace, there was a large tower with many windows. My guide told me that the king and his family lived inside the tower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The king hoped that I would look at his rooms, and I was very interested to see them. I walked up to the tower, bent down, and looked through the little windows one by one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside, I saw beautiful rooms with old furniture and paintings on the walls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though the palace was tiny, it looked just like the homes of the great kings of the world. In one window, I saw the room where the Queen of Lilyput lived. She had many children who lived with her. My guide told me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the king and queen were the only parents who raised their own children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the other children in Lilyput were sent to schools when they were young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were only allowed to visit their parents twice a year and each time only for half an hour. This custom seems strange to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She smiled at me and walked over to the window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She opened the window and reached out her tiny arm so that I could kiss her hand. It was a wonderful feeling to be treated so well by this great and beautiful queen. One morning about a week after this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The king's secretary, Redrisal, came and visited me at my temple house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He asked me if he could speak to me for an hour. Of course I said


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reldrassal had been a good friend to me and had said many nice things about me to the king and his officers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reldresal told me that at this time, the country of Liliput was facing many dangers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He explained to me that there were two groups in the government. One group was called the Tramexen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This group followed the old laws of Lilliput and had many violent ideas. The other group was called the Slamaksin and they followed the new laws, which the king had created. The Tramaksin wore shoes with high heels and the Slamaksin wore shoes with low heels. Though there were more Tramaksin than Slamaksin,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The slamaksan held all the highest positions in the government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Reldrassal told me that the anger between these two groups was so great that they would not speak to each other or even eat in the same building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems that the prince cannot decide which group he agrees with, and we are afraid that when he becomes king, he will become a Tramexon. We do not want a king who follows the old violent ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, we have another problem that is even more serious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are at war with the people of the island of Blefuscu. Who are they? Are they as small as you are I asked?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, they are as small as we are, answered Reldresal. Why are you at war with them? Have they done something to hurt your people? I asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reldresal then told me a very strange story. You see, man-mountain, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many years ago, when our king's grandfather was the leader, all men in our land broke their eggs on the large end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But one day, when the king's son was opening an egg, he cut one of his fingers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of this accident, the old king made a law that all people must break their eggs on the small end. He ordered that all men breaking their eggs on the large end should be killed. I thought the actions of the old king were very strange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why should people be killed for breaking open eggs the wrong way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said nothing and continued to listen to Reldresal's story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old king's law angered the people of the island of Blefuscu because they had always opened their eggs at the large end. They disagreed with the Lilliputian king's new law and they felt that breaking eggs from the small end was a terrible thing to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There have been six wars between our two countries. In this time, one of our kings has died and another has lost his position as leader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, many of the Lilliputian people still like to break their eggs at the large end, so they left Lilliput and moved to Blefusku. In Lilliput, we have already put 11,000 people to death for breaking their eggs at the large end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many Lilliputians wrote books about which end of the egg was best, and the writers who did not agree with the new law were killed, and their books were burned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the people of Blefuscu have prepared many ships to attack our country. The King hopes that you will help us fight the Blefuscudians and protect our great country from harm, Man Mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was not attacking another country. I was only defending Liliput.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, I agreed to help the Lilliputians with their war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Twenty thousand kilometers into the sea. Written by Jules Verne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1866, everyone was excited about one thing. There was a strange monster in the sea, people said. Different ships saw it at different times in the Atlantic and in the Pacific.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was very big, very long and it moved very fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It threw water up into the sky too. Perhaps it was a whale? Of course some people did not believe in the monster. But then, in 1867, some important ships had bad accidents. The worst of these accidents happened to a famous ship, the Scotia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After it hit something at the sea, the scotia had a hole in it of two and a half meters. People said, the monsters did this. We must find it and kill it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now that we know how to populate an array and loop through an array, uhm, let's populate an array


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bit differently, instead of doing it in the code like we did here, let's do it, let's populate the array from data from a worksheet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, I want to put a, I want to display a message box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That has the current, that tells me what the current month is. So let's do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's create a sub procedure. Sub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Populate one dimensional, so we're going to populate a one dimensional array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now, uh, let's see, how many variables do we need to hold? We need to hold 12 variables, so I'm going to declare an array that can hold 12 variables, dim months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the upper bound of the array is going to be 11.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's going to be able to hold all 12 months because the index of the array begins at 0. So the index is going to go from 0 to 11 with the upper bound being 11. So I put that in the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the parentheses, and then I, these months are strings, so I'm gonna put as string here for the data type of the array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I'm going to declare a couple other things, uh, dim i as integer. I'm going to use that as a counter variable and then dim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I told you it would be a counter variable, and it will be, but it'll also be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It will be a placeholder for the index of the array. So i is gonna be, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A variable for the index of the array. And then x row is going to equal two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I put x row is equal to two because my month is starting row two. And now I want to populate the array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With these months. So I'll do, I'll do a do until loop. I'll do do until cells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Row index. Okay, I need to put a row in here, so I'm gonna use my variable xRow. Column index, well, the months are in column one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I do, I wanna do a loop, I wanna do something until


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get to this blank sell down here, so I'm gonna start in row two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And loop down until I get to a blank cell. So I'll do, do until cell's x row comma one dot value is equal to blank. And then I'll put loop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want to increment my row variable each time through the loop. So I'll do xRow is equal to xRow plus one. And now I want to populate my array. So to do that, I gotta use the name of the array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The variable for my index of the array, monthsI, is equal to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cells, X row, comma, one, dot value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That populates the array. But after I do that, after I put i in there,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After I put the value in the array at index i, the next time through the loop,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to have, when I put a value in I need to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, set to one bigger, so I'm gonna do i is equal to i plus one. Right after I put a value in it, so that the next time there's a loop, when I put a value in it, I put it in the next, the next, uh, element in the array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I move this over. What we should see, and I pull up the locals window here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I'll put a breakpoint there and I'll put my cursor in there and hit run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this month go, it's, it's an array that I can hold strings and you could see the index starts at zero and it goes down to 11. That means it can hold 12 things. And here I get to the loop line and if I step through this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the first time through, xRow is going to be equal to, if I go down to the locals window, xRow is equal to 2, right? Because we set it equal to 2 here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now it does this, it does cells x row comma one dot value. Well that's row two comma one. That's this January here. It's gonna put it in the months array at index i and i is equal to zero. So what we should see after this line of code is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Month zero here gets assigned the value January. And there it is. After I stepped over that line. January is now in the array. And then I could step through again. And now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] i is, went to i plus 1 here in this line, and x-row went to x-row plus 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that means now I'm gonna put something in a place where i is equal to 1. And what I'm gonna put in it is row 3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I incremented the row here and I incremented i. So now I'm ready to move on and put another piece of data in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can see now I have February in the array after I, after I do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm incrementing my index in the array, at the same time I'm moving down column A, and if I just hit play, I'll put a breakpoint here on nsub, if I hit play,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look what happens. My arrays populated with January, February, March, April, May, June, July.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the way to December. And i is equal to 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And x row is equal to 14. So it did, you know, the loop, it looped until,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It came to a cell that's blank and the cell that's blank is in row 14 and that's why when it jumped out of the loop and it came to the end sub and the loop finished it's x row is equal to 14 because row 14 column 1 has a value of blank. So what we just did is populate an array


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You encounter a blank cell, or loop until something, or if you know how many times you're gonna loop, you can use a for next loop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you can do, you can do it many different ways because there's different ways to loop as we've seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now I want to loop through this array and I want to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll use this for next loop to loop through this months array, so I'll do for i is equal to zero to ubound months comma one, and we know what that does. Next i.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I declared a variable i up here and I used it in this loop and we saw just now that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I get out of this loop, i is equal to 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or reset it to the right thing. So I need to set i equal to zero. So I'm using the i variable in this loop, and I'm gonna use it in this loop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here I'm resetting it to zero, and that's critical. If you didn't reset it, uh, you would, or if you didn't reset it or you reset to something wrong,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would get some bad results. So what do we want to do? We have an array that has an index that starts at 0, ends at 11, and this for next loop will loop from 0 to 11, and we know that this is 11.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ubound comma months comma one gives us the number 11 because it's the high, Ubound is the highest index in this array months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in this dimension, because we only have a one dimensional array. So now we can loop through the months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We get looped with the months array. And I want to write an if statement. So now I'm going to do something like this. If months i is equal to a month name


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I want a message box to display the current month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how do I find the current month? Like today is September, September 9th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do I, how does a computer tell me that it's the current month of September? Well that's what this line does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what does this line do? Well these are all, uh, things that VBA provides us. If you want to know what date it is, you can just write the word date


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it'll return the current date. If you want to know what month it is, like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, all the way out to 12, this returns a number, this month function, you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You put in a parameter that's a date and it'll return a number between 1 and 12. That'll give you the month. And then there's another function called monthName where you give it a parameter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a number between 1 and 12 and it will give you the name of the month. So these are, these are functions


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if I get the current date, and then I grab a month number between 1 and 12, that's what I can do here. I can use the month function to get that number between 1 and 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I could use the monthName function to get the current month. So all I'm doing is using


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Functions that are provided to us by VBA, and I'm saying if the current month here, if this current month is equal to the month in my array, then I want to do a message box, message box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The current month is, then I'll append something, months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I'll get a message box that says the current month is, is, is whatever the current month is. So if we run this, let me just run this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says the current month is September. And that's correct because it is September right now. Uh, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main point of this video are two things. One, how do you populate an array with data from a worksheet while you do something like this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you fill the array with whatever's on the worksheet. So here's my array, month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And use a variable for the index, and then you increment that variable. And every time through the loop, when you're incrementing that variable, you want to put something in that particular element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what you're putting through that element, what you're putting in that array also has to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Change as you iterate through the worksheet. So you want to increment also the row or the column in the worksheet and then throw data in that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and the other thing that's interesting about this video is that sometimes you're gonna need to loop through an array and pick out an element that matches a condition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could do that here, like here use a for next loop like we've seen before to loop through an array. But then within that for next loop you can put an if that will check some, check, check an element or check the elements of the array and if they match a condition like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, if the element is this or that, in this case I did, if the element is the current month,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you could write some code. In this case all I did is say, if the element in the array is the current month, then you know, tell me that. But you could put all kinds of stuff in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The real interesting thing to remember is that this code is looping over the entire array. So if your array had a thousand things in it, this loop would loop through, that loop would, it would loop through all a thousand things with just this code. If months had, if there were a thousand months in the year, this code, this for next loop would loop over all a thousand months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then this is checking each element in the array and it's going


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it meet a, does it meet a condition? Does it meet a condition? Does it meet a condition? A thousand times it's checking. And if it does, it's gonna do something. Uh, so, that's all this video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was about, it was about how to populate data from a worksheet and then how to loop through the array and match on a condition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the next video, we will look more at arrays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we will look, look at, uh, two dimensional arrays and how to loop over them because it's a little bit different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the next few years, I lived with my wife and children. Our lives were very happy and I felt content living in England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a joy to watch my children growing older.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon, my wife was pregnant with a third child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was very excited. I hoped that my child would be a boy so that I could name him Gulliver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, I did not get the chance to see my new baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was offered a job as the captain of a ship that would trade between England and the South Seas. The thought of leaving my family made me sad, of course, but I decided to take the job because the pay was high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My work on this ship, as its captain, was not easy. While traveling to the South Seas, many of my men became sick and died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of this, I had to find some new men to work for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we landed on the island of Barbados, I found some strong men who wanted to go to sea. Unfortunately when we were at sea again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I learned that these men were criminals who were escaping from the police.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One night while I slept these men told my other sailors that if they could control the ship then they would pay them all a lot of money. When I woke up the next morning


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found that my door was locked from the outside. I was a prisoner on my own ship. For two days no one spoke to me, and I was not given any food. Finally, on the third day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My door was opened and one of the criminals entered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told me that everyone had decided that I must leave the ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was put on one of our small boats and left near a small island. Luckily, the criminals allowed me to keep certain things so that I still had my knife and some gold coins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since I had no food or water, I had no choice but to row to the island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I reached the island's beach, I rested for a short time and then began to search for any people who might live on the island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hoped they would give me some food to eat and fresh water to drink. As I walked around the island, I saw some human footprints and many prints of horse's feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no farmland, but only natural fields with tall green grasses. I followed some of the footprints until I arrived in an open field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly I saw a group of animals in the distance. Some were standing on the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While others were sitting in the trees like monkeys. These animals were not like the animals I had seen before. And they were as large as people. I thought they were ugly and strange looking. And they frightened me. So I hid in the grass and watched them for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These animals walked on four legs, yet their bodies looked quite like humans. However, their backs and chests were covered with very thick hair, like a monkey's or a bear's. Two of these animals began walking towards me, and I was afraid they would see me. All of a sudden, however,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stood up to look around but I did not see anything except a horse walking slowly through the grass. When I stood up, the horse seemed surprised to see me. After a moment,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He walked towards me and did not stop until he had come very close. He stared at me and walked around me three times. This horse is acting very strangely. He seems almost intelligent, I thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I tried to step around him and walk away, the animal put himself in my way, it would not let me pass. All the time his large gentle eyes looked at me calmly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I reached out to try and touch the horse, but it stepped back and shook its head as if telling me not to do this. Then the horse began to neigh and the sounds almost seemed like a kind of language.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, the horse gave an especially loud neigh, and immediately another horse came running over to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The horses continued to neigh to each other for a few more minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided that they were definitely communicating with each other. Then they hit each others hooves again. The first horse I had seen, who was grey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moved his head to show me that I should walk in with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since I had no other place to go, I decided I might as well follow the strange animals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was very tired from the adventures of the last few days, so I could not walk very quickly. The horses were looking closely at me all the time. They seemed to understand that I was tired, so they walked slowly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone who convinces you that there is really an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend hold your hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And tell you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such friend, you feel happy and complete. Because you need no worry. You have a forever friend for life. And forever has no end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so can you, sorry to follow up though, do you have any suggestions as to how we can get that mentality into the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a nice place old John has got here. It's an old Georgian house, isn't it? I bet it cost him a packet to redecorate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Beeky Thwait. He must be old Johnny's wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet you traded one with Johnny Soldam. Soldam? What for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For money, of course. The fella's gotta pay his racing debts, hasn't he? You know, Johnny dropped a packet of money at Newbury, I can tell you that. You know, these bookies don't trust a chap for long. Not a chap like Johnny, that is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dear, you mustn't take it so seriously. After all, it's Johnny. Wonderful chap, Johnny. There's nobody like him. I needn't tell you that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on a minute. You say he offered you a hundred a piece for him? That's right. Let's have a look at the check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you send it along? I bet you ten pounds to a shilling. You wouldn't dare let your wife pick up the telephone and ask old Middlebeck or whatever his name is if he ever saw this American.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 200 pounds of 10 to 1, why that's 2,000 quid. Oh, Biggie, that's amazing. What have you been? Well, the way you work that out so quickly. What have I been? Well, you know, a little something. Something, something. Oh, you fool, my leg will be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well done, old bean. Actually, look, Ethel's done her stuff. What about celebrating? You can always trust Beaky to say the right thing at the right time. Well, come on, old bean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say, oh girl, that's a bit thick. Why, he's president of the whole baddie thing, would you? Gets a salary, writes his own checks. Yes, that's what I mean. Oh, what's wrong about that? I say, oh Bean, Ena's been telling me you're a bit soft in the head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time I play anagrams, I can only make three-letter words. D-O-U-B, there's no such word. D-O-U-B-T, dot, F-U-L, dot. I'll take that, I'll go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're very close to it. Let's drop the subject.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He certainly did. Came jolly close to losing his own too.


[User] Please transcribe this text
