[Assistant] You hold your goddamn breath, nigga, until you see me laying on the floor making a spectacle of myself for one of you freaks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His hands slid down to his penis, and he unconsciously began to stroke himself. His breathing became heavy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While his reptilian eyes closed and unclosed in ecstasy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terry was overwhelmed with repugnance as she watched him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fleeting thought that such a man held power over her filled her with dread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever you finished jacking off Porky, we would appreciate it if you would take care of your business. She held out a ten dollar bill towards him. Porky stared at her coldly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His small eyes glittered with open scorn. Many brought to his mind all the rejections he had received from girls while going to school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet time and time again he tried to reach out across the span that separated him from the other children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'd always been grotesquely fat, no matter how much he tried to lose weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their family doctor told his mother it was a gland problem, so not to worry about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was nothing he enjoyed more than sleeping with a woman who was petrified by fear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of them became paralyzed, practically statues of stone, when he started making love to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smokey took the money out of Minnie's hand as Porky lumbered over to his overstuffed chair and sat down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't get beside yourself, bitch," she warned Minnie as she gave them each a pack of dope. You bitches ain't getting paid just to lay on the floor. Porky yelled loudly at the two women on the floor. Minnie rolled her eyes at Smokey, but didn't reply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smokey resembled a robot. A walking zombie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Porky kept her so high that, most of the time, it seemed she wasn't aware of where she was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever the addicts discussed her abnormal habit, they spoke in voices full of awe. She was completely at the mercy of Porky's whims. If he were to put her out, her chances of staying alive would be small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her daily use of heroin would cost an addict on the street over $500 a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the run of a week, she used the retail value of over $3000 worth of dope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smokey headed back towards the bedroom, stepping over the two women on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Minnie and Terry took their dope and sat down beside each other, the two women on the floor began to perform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each woman stretched out with her head pointed towards the other's feet, while their legs interwove intimately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were using this scissors position, a favorite of professional lesbians, and as they rubbed cunt to cunt, it became apparent that there was nothing faked about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She cautiously glanced out the corner of her eye to see how the men were reacting to this grotesque display. To her astonishment, very few of the male addicts were really watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But on the whole, only the women addicts were interested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of them move their legs unconsciously as they watch the act build up to its climax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Porky stared at the women hungrily, saliva running out of the corner of his mouth and dripping down on his huge chest. After watching a little longer,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the women finished, they sat up on the floor and began to snort some dope off an album cover Smokey had set out beside them. Porky got up and waddled over to the bedroom door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came back, leading one of his huge German police dogs. He held the dog between his legs as he spoke to the women. I'll tell you what I'll do, he began, his voice thick with desire. I'll give either one of you half a fourth of dope if you'll freak off with Bush in front of everybody. He patted the dog on its back. Both of the women stared up at him angrily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess, the larger of the two, replied viciously, I'll tell you what I'll do, you fat black son of a bitch, you. I'll give you a fourth of dope if you let us watch your dog fuck you and your fat black ass. What about that, you freaking motherfucker, you? She spat out at him. For a brief moment, Porky felt a jolt of fear. He knew Tess was one of the most dangerous lesbians around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He searched the faces around the apartment until he saw one of his doormen watching them closely. He relaxed slightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because you've done time for cutting up a nigga girl, that ain't shit. He said with renewed courage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Between her and the prostitute she kept, they spent quite a bit of money in the run of a week. Ever since she was released from prison, she had been using. He was sure that she was strung out now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He removed a ten dollar pack of dough from his pocket and tossed it to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tess caught the pack and bit back the acid remark she had been about to make. Yeah, Porky, just so long as we understand each other, she said and smiled a knowing smile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Porky glanced across the room at Terry, who was nodding off her dope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her neat little dress was pushed up around her thighs, revealing golden tan skin just above her stockings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As her head dropped down on her chest her legs parted slightly, causing Porky to catch his breath. He stared in fascination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sliding down in his seat, he tried to peep up higher under a dress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His feverish mind began to undress her, until he could visualize her completely naked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He pictured his dog's large head stuck up between her beautiful thighs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the dog became excited, he imagined Butch biting and growling, his shaggy head shaking from side to side as blood from his bites came running down her legs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her screams of pain then turned to moans of pleasure as he snatched the dog away and stuck his huge head in its place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly becoming aware of his obscene stare, Terry closed her legs and blushed. Damn, she said to herself. You're beginning to sit just like some common whore. Legs gaped all open for any man to look under your dress. Perversely, she thought. Well, the bastard sure couldn't see nothing, no matter how hard he was trying. I should open them real wide. Maybe then the son of a bitch will see enough to get his kicks off.

[Assistant] The 8 News Now investigators have been all over the story since Kamara's arrest last year. Kyle Payne joining us now with the details. Kyle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, Kyle, thanks for that. We can also tell you that on Instagram today, the victim's attorney announced that his $10 million civil lawsuit has been settled. Those terms, though, are confidential. You can see more on this story.

[Assistant] North Korea fires yet another missile, but Pyongyang claims this one will be able to hit the US mainland, striking cities like Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, and possibly even New York and Boston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this is the next day. So Flappy's been on this thing for the whole day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] HiBeeKids are telling me that they're hearing some more cracking going on, so let's see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, I need to figure out where Hobby Mom is. Yea, I haven't gotten a text or a call from her. I haven't heard from her for a while. Hobby Pig, have you gotten anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey HobbyKids, have you guys heard anything weird in the backyard lately? Like any snarls or like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No? Because last night I saw some footage on one of our night cameras. I saw something running around the pool. Here, here, let me show it to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was crazy, right? What do you think that is? I think that it was a plant. A plant? With arms and legs? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, I mean, we gotta make sure...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's still not in the yard. You guys wanna come around with me and look to see if we can find this thing? Alright. We just wanna make sure it's not in the yard anyway. Alright, so let's go. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking at the pool yard, there's nothing here. I'm not seeing anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, good job. Nothing? Nope, no rats in there. Okay. Let me see what's behind here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't know if it's a plant, it looks like there's plants involved. That could be a nest though, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just more equipment. Okay, it's not here. Maybe it's on the other side of the house. Let's go, the other side of the house. Alright, so we definitely know there was something here. And it looks like it put something in our pool, some type of a nest. Yea, it might be, like, a fish or an egg. Might be a chicken. I don't think it's a chicken. I mean, it could be a chicken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean unless he's climbing up onto the roof. Well I guess it'd be a girl laying eggs. Hmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's see if we can, uh, just do it easy, breezy, lemon squeezy. There he goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably helps it to not like break loose and fall away or something. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I guess you guys are on deck. You guys ready? Yep. Alright, here we go. Here comes Hobby Frog. One small step for man, one giant leap for Hobby Frog-kind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting closer to it. It's kinda hard to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, it's like an egg. Check this egg out. It's like an egg and a nest. Look at these branches though. These branches look familiar. Yeaah. Here, here. Might be a bird. Here, check this out. I think I know where this came from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The color of the egg though suggests that maybe this thing didn't come from nature, but it may have came from like escape from some type of a laboratory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. What if it comes up and it's hungry and wants to eat me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not a baby T-Rex, I don't, I mean, I don't think there's any T-Rexes. Could be a bird. A bird? Could be a bird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, let's find a way we can incubate. I think I have a way we're all gonna agree is gonna work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one wants to sit on the egg, I get it. I mean, we all have things to do. Uhm, I think I know someone who would like to sit on the egg. Yes, that's right, Flappy. WHAT?!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna have Flappy sit on this thing, and maybe we'll get it to hatch. Come on Flappy, let's go. Let's see how he does, let's put him on the egg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there we go. So we'll just keep them there. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you wanna see what's inside this egg?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must subscribe and ring the bell to see episode 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's okay. There are times when I want to be alone too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we do play, I'll wipe the floor with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things I try to do in my courses is actually use, not so much now over Zoom, but actually use AR, VR in these courses. So here's an example of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, to do this kind of stuff, uh, for design and for teaching. And uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then adding a new term like mixed reality, uh, to what kinds of misconceptions that, that, uh, uh, led. So I've been studying this. I've been studying key barriers to entry. It's been very fascinating to me what are the main challenges for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just, uh, shifting from designers and so non-technical, uh, I mean, designers also technical, but not programmers. And now recently working with instructors really has also shaped my thinking about how to use these technologies in teaching. So on the misconception side, I showed you a video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The person in VR, but from a typical


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Framework to think through the space. And if you, if you are trained in interactive technologies, you often distinguish interactive technologies based on input and output.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to be honest, when I started the research, I was excited about creating a few different tools and with the tools, try out what could be better practices and challenges. And in fact, the more foundational research, the more survey based or interview based research on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] User groups. And, uh, so there is more detail in the paper and it would be its own presentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it is very interesting to think about where the challenges occur. I'm going to talk to you about the challenges. And you need to look at the fact how rapidly growing the landscape is in terms of devices and features and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's difficult to make use of online learning resources. Actually, these technologies, while a professor will tell you they have been around for many years,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amateurs, so not directly from Facebook or Oculus, who publish their GitHub projects where they got the password to work and share it this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, experiences where you have relatively straightforward navigation paths. It's very difficult to design a story-driven immersive experience. And so I want to show you for the next, uh, 10 or so minutes, I want to take you on a little tour of, uh, some of the things I've been working on. And, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you want to keep the skills and resources required, uh, relatively low. And then obviously this seems like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I wanted to play a sound. Now, if it's too loud and not so pleasant for you, please interrupt me. But I'm gonna play the sound a little bit and I need to share the sound. And I wonder whether it's too loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see some of the themes in comparison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I've been working on techniques that allow you to very quickly create, uh, AR, mobile AR mockups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can see that a little bit and then we developed some techniques where you, uh, essentially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always like to show some of the creative art that my students did. So you see Ariel, one of my favorite sofas and really also details that are hard to model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something like this. You could, uhm, walk through one of my, one of my favorite examples is this Star Trek that we created as the next generation. If you're a Star Trek fan, uhm, maybe you, this is the look familiar, even though it's a paper prototype.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I showed you before how we can layer, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last thing I wanted to talk about is some more of the collaborative work that I've been looking at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anyway, uhm, I will focus on collaborative authoring and coordination. So coming back to our Disney example. So we took actually, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this work was really hard work. We took to Wist, where it was destroyed by one person who said, this is crude programmer art. And so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you feel the same way, then I can tell you I've heard this before, but the principles are what matters. We are not Disney. We had a $25 budget for the physical prototype and a $2,000 budget for the digital prototype. And so we prototyped some of these experiences digitally, but we did it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll show you an example of what this looked like from some of our, uh, test scenes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, the camera movement, I wish it were more pronounced. So I gave feedback to Katie, uh, you need to move the camera more. And we had a deal with the scale. And, um, so what I studied in this work was coordinating multiple, uh, designers who are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few tools to rescale and reposition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And collaborative AI VR is actually one of the hardest topics right now at CHI and UIST and so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish more people, uh, would, uhm, would build on this work, like extra director, which I think is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I've learned from working with instructors and now is the part of the presentation where I feel like I'm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we had to determine which of the poor people we need to take care of and which of the poor people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this disaster, we can't do much and we should therefore not prioritize. And there's a triage protocol for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A virtual environment and be scoped out using some of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The immersive prototyping tools and techniques that I've talked about previously. Here's a rough, a pre-vis of, so you come into this escape room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, there's a crisis in there. There might be some people who are injured and it's also bad weather and it's a little bit of a war zone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's a time to experience to create stress and it's uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's also an experience where you increasingly see injuries and you get triaged and we can display these injuries on, uhm, t-shirts that we created.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we have two versions, two levels of bloodiness. If you're a medical student, it's no problem for you to see glass coming out of a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How would you even assess how different students perform in the simulation? And so we created this toolkit, uh, to enable instructors to essentially conduct some of this work in their classroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, there's more work on how to track things and analyze things, uhm, that I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show traditional slides or we could have an activity like here with my students. And then I also have mixed reality capture support for different kinds of whiteboards. Here what I'm showing is kind of like what I would call a lightboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'll stop there before I over claim and throw it back to you, Sean. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is a very interesting type of user to work with. So how do I, I don't want to impose new practices and workflows. They have not really used ARV before. How do I get them to imagine


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Co-design and working and participatory design, but the interesting challenges you have when you work with people who have not previously experienced AIV are so priming techniques, elicitation studies, which is a technical term,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are I think very good techniques and tools to help shape the community's understanding and also allow new people to come into the area. Obviously, finally the tools I've worked on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of my dream was that the tools themselves would enable more, I use them in my teaching and they enable more students to do things, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't want to put in any spoilers, but essentially if you only have a 2G connection to this metaverse, your experience will be very sad and very black and white. And if you, uh, subscribe to the best cloud service provider, you will get the best AI experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a very philosophical question, a very cool topic to talk about. I hope I shared some of my perspective with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George Darling met and fell in love with the woman who became his wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But their wedding was just like one from a wonderful book about young love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At their wedding, Mrs. Darling was wearing a beautiful white dress and Mr. Darling was wearing a handsome black coat. As time moved on, they had three children. The oldest was their daughter Wendy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, their first son John, and then Michael.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. and Mrs. Darling loved their daughter and sons very much, and they were very devoted to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Darling often worried about the family's money. The Darlings were not a rich family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Darling worried about the cost of everything he bought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even such common things as bread and eggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their neighbors could all afford to hire nurses to take care of their children. The Darling family, however, could not afford a normal nurse. Instead, they had to hire a different kind of nurse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The darlings bought a large dog named Nana, and Nana was as good as a human nurse. Nana helped to bathe the children and get their clothes ready. She would comfort them when they had bad dreams in the nights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Wendy, John and Michael were going to bed, Nana would turn on a small night light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the children were all afraid of the Neverland. They worried that the Neverland was always hiding outside and would come and capture them if they were not careful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The children did not know what the Neverland was like, and each child


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Neverland didn't feel very scary. The children were only scared


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they worried about losing their family and going to a world where anything could happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the children's dreams about the Neverland were similar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was because they were all in the same family and they had all heard the same stories from their mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many stories talked about a boy named Peter Pan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter Pan lived in Neverland with the fairies and he could fly. Wendy especially believed in Peter Pan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even Mrs. Darling remembered stories about a boy named Peter Pan from when she was a child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He will always be a boy about the same age and height as me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Darling laughed when Wendy spoke about Peter Pan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not believe in Peter Pan or the Neverland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Peter Pan did not want the children to forget him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that same night, he came to the darling's house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He whispered dreams of the Neverland into their ears while they were sleeping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy had a wonderful dream about the Neverland that night. The next day,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are tree leaves on the floor, and he forgot to clean his shoes. Who forgot to clean his shoes? asked Mrs. Darling. Peter Pan, of course!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How could Peter Pan come into the house without first knocking at the door? Asked her mother. The door is always locked. He flew in through our window. Go upstairs and look. The tree leaves are next to the window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Darling did not want to tell Wendy that Neverland and Peter Pan were just a dream and make her daughter sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she walked upstairs after breakfast and examined some of the leaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was surprised to see that they didn't look like the leaves that grew on the trees next to the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we're gonna stay here all night, so we might as well make ourselves comfortable. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chocolate? Chocolates, you silly little man, these are matches. But I, but I... Matches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when the stationmaster couldn't get rid of us, they set to work scaring us out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Noah was a charity boy, but not a workhouse orphan. He at least knew who his parents were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for a long time, all the local shop boys had insulted him because he wore the uniform of a charity boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Fortune had brought him a creature in an even lower position in society than himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Noah intended to repay to Oliver every insults he had ever received and to make the new boy's life a misery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a few weeks, Mr. Sowerberry decided that he liked Oliver's appearance enough to train him in the undertaking business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oliver's permanent expression of sadness was very suitable, the undertaker thought, for collecting dead bodies from houses and accompanying the coffins to funerals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She told them how Peter Pan had saved her life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were very thankful to Peter, and they had a huge party with the Lost Boys to celebrate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lost boys and the Indians quickly became close friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They decided to fight against the pirates together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter would pretend that he was an Indian captain


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that the Indians were protecting his secret home from the pirates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone knew that Captain Hook was planning to attack the Indians and the lost boys. They thought that they would attack soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, no one had guessed that this was the family's last night in their happy underground house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On this night, the family ate a large pretended dinner, and then Peter went outside to see what time it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only way to know the time in Neverland was to find the crocodile and wait near him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until his clock bell rang on the hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one ever really knew what day it was, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The family decided to pretend that it was Saturday and have a party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all stayed up very late dancing and singing. After the party, Wendy told the boys to get ready for bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter returned from outside and they sat by the fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy put the children in bed and began to tell them a story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry, my children. Wendy told them. There was also a lady. Their name was Darling. Mr. and Mrs. Darling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the children had a dog called Nana who took care of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One night Mr. Darling became angry at their dog Nana and tied her to a tree in the yard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so all the children left the nursery and flew away. Where did they fly? asked Curly, who knew the answer already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all flew away to the Neverland where the lost children live, Wendy told them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Toodles? I am in one of Wendy's stories, Toodles happily told the other boys. I am too, shouted Curly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now be silent for a minute and think about how unhappy the children's parents must have been with all their children so far away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said to make Wendy happy. However, they didn't really care. Think of all the empty beds in the nursery, she said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] slightly said, If you understood how great a mother's love is, Wendy explained, you would not fear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy had now arrived at the part of her story that Peter hated most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That she would always leave the window of the nursery open for her children to fly back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they never worried about her and stayed in Neverland for years and had a wonderful time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ask Toodles. Well, said Wendy seriously, I will tell you about the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many years have passed, and a beautiful lady is getting off a train at London Station.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as excited as if he really didn't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the beautiful Wendy, and she is standing with two gentlemen, now adult men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are they? Well, they are John and Michael. All grown up and handsome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy said to her brothers, pointing up to the sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nursery window is still open and you will always be greatly rewarded for your deep faith in a mother's love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's impossible to tell you just how happy they all were. When Wendy finally finished her story, Peter made a deep angry sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boys all jumped out of bed and ran to Peter to try to calm him down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told them a story that he had never told anyone before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no way to know if Peter's story was true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he believed it was true, and that was the only important thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They cried loudly. Yes, she cried, putting her arms around them. Don't leave tonight, all the lost boys cried. Yes, we must leave at once, Wendy said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our mother and father may think that we are already dead. Wendy then turned to Peter. Will you help us prepare for our journey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He replied, trying to be calm. In his heart Peter cared very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not want Wendy to leave and he was full of anger at adults. Adults always ruined everything, he thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter went out to tell the Indians that Wendy was leaving and that he would be gone for a few days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the way back he cried, but made himself stop crying before going inside the secret house. When Peter came back inside he found great trouble in the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter yelled Tink was not sleeping. She was listening to their conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And although she was happy that Wendy was leaving, she hated Wendy and didn't want to help her. No, she yelled. Tinker Bell didn't often argue with Peter. He didn't like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy turned to say goodbye to the lost boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you all come back with me, I am sure that my parents will care for you. She had meant the invitation especially for Peter, but the other boys all jumped with joy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nibs asked. No, no! Wendy told them. We can put a few more beds in the nursery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boys all ran quickly to prepare their things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter, aren't you going to get your things ready?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, Peter, I will give you some medicine for strength before you go," said Wendy, thinking that Peter was going to come with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy didn't really have any medicine and could only give Peter some water but she looked serious and measured it carefully so that it would seem like medicine. When she finished, Peter said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? But you must come, Peter, she cried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter yelled angrily, But you should find your mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy could not do anything except tell the other boys that Peter wasn't coming with them. They stared at him and could not believe it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they all knew they could not change his mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He then turned to Wendy and weakly held up his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said simply, Will you remember to take your medicine, Peter? Wendy asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My family was very worried when they saw me and they were frightened that I would not answer any of their questions. I could not tell them anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to leave them immediately to save them from the monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But weeks went by, and I could not find enough courage to begin to build the second monster. The thought of the work gave me bad dreams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew the monster would do something terrible if I broke my promise, but I also knew that the job would take time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to study for many months before I could even begin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During these weeks, my health became better and my father was very happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day he said to me, Victor, it is time to end our sadness over William's death. We must continue our lives, my son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, your mother and I wanted you and Elizabeth to marry. I hope this will happen one day soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am growing older and I would like to see you happy before I die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Father, of course I want to marry Elizabeth. I love her. I told him quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was thinking of the terrible promise I had made to the monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before I could marry Elizabeth, I had to create a wife for the monster. It was the only way we could all be happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While I was at home, I read about some experiments on the human body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These experiments were being done in England and I decided to go there and do my work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to do this terrible job very far away from the people I loved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My father and Elizabeth were happy when they heard my plans. They wanted me to go to England, but because they were still worried about me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elizabeth asked my friend Henry Clerval to travel with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of September, Henry and I left Geneva.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We traveled through France, Germany and Holland before arriving in England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I spent four months in England reading the new information about the human body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During that time, I found all the tools and materials I needed to build a second monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, Henry and I spent two months visiting friends in Scotland. But by then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew that I should have begun my terrible work many months ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not know what would happen if the monster learned that I had not yet started to make his friend. Would he hurt Elizabeth and my father? Was he following Henry and me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I imagined I saw his ugly yellow eyes following me everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the days when no letters came from my father or Elizabeth I was afraid. I followed Henry everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Afraid that the monster would hurt him if I weren't with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, I decided when to start and where I would work. But first, I had to get Henry to leave me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told him, we've been happy in Scotland for some time now, but I need to be alone for a while. Maybe a month or two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know I want to be with you no matter where you're going. But if you want to be alone, that's fine. Just come back quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I left Henry, I went to the Orkney Islands, some small islands near Scotland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the islands had only five people living on it, and I wanted to work there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I rented a dark, dirty little house. It had two small rooms and dirty paint on the walls, but I did not care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cleaned the house and made one room into my workroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, I finally sat down to begin my work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hated my work more and more as I built the horrible monster woman's body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I could not go into the workroom for days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other times, I worked day and night and did not eat or sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought back to the first monster I had made and remembered how excited I was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, I did not know the horror of what I was doing. How stupid I was. I only wanted to become a great scientist. Now, I knew the meaning of what I was doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hated the monster for making me build him a friend, but I hated myself even more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked around me, thinking I would see the monster in front of me every second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I raised my eyes constantly, fearing to see the monster appear in front of me. But the work was going well. I was almost finished with the second monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would give the woman life, and both monsters would leave me forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why, then, was I afraid all the time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I arrived at my father's house, it was early in the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quietly I told the servants not to wake my family because they needed to rest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to the library and looked at the painting of my dear mother on the wall. A painting of William was next to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I held my sweet brother's picture to my heart and began to cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that moment, my brother Ernest ran into the library. We threw our arms around each other and began to cry. After a little while, I asked how Elizabeth and my father were feeling. I asked how my father and Elizabeth were bearing up. Father is hiding his sadness and anger from us. But Elizabeth has been miserable. She had blamed herself for William's death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now we have found the real killer. Before I had time to think, I cried out, You have found the killer? That is impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have found the killer, and it has only made us unhappier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was our servant girl, Justine, who killed William. Justine? I gasped. But I know what you are thinking. We didn't believe it at first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elizabeth still doesn't believe Justine is the killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And truthfully, the facts are very strange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another servant found Elizabeth's necklace in Justine's pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The servant did not talk to us first, but went to the police immediately. Then the police came and arrested Justine. Her trial is tomorrow. Ernest, I know she's innocent. I cried. I promise you, I know who the real killer is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ernest could not ask me any more questions because at that moment my father and Elizabeth came into the room. My father told me the rest of the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't want to believe that Justine is the killer because she has worked for our family for many years. She loved your mother and William. I hope that this terrible thing is not true, but we can do nothing. We must wait and see what the judges say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elizabeth waited until my father had finished speaking. And then she said to me, darling, you must find a way to prove that Justine is not the killer. Justine could never kill anyone. And she has cared for William since he was a baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rabbit decides to send in a little bill for help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it wasn't the mouse or even any of the other creatures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the white rabbit, running back again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was looking anxiously about like he had lost something important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice guessed that he must be looking for his fan and white kid gloves since he had dropped those things earlier in the hallway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She decided to good-naturally join in the hunt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she wasn't able to see the rabbit's belongings anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, everything was different since her swim in the pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great hall, the glass table, and the little door had all completely vanished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rabbit stopped in front of Alice, and rudely called to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's mistaken me for his housemaid, said Alice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quickly, as she was frightened about upsetting the Rabbit even further, she ran off in the direction of the Rabbit's house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure you'll be very surprised when he finds out I'm not Marianne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'd better first bring him his fan and gloves if I can find them again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice had not thought this any more when she saw a neat little house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not stopping to knock, she went inside and hurried upstairs to find the fan and gloves in case she was to meet the real Marianne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who she feared might tell her to get out of the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How strange it is, Alice remarked to herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be bringing gloves and a fan to a rabbit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose my cat Dinah will be sending me to do things like this next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had soon wandered into a small little room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where she found a pair of gloves and a fan on a table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as she was leaving, she noticed a bottle near the looking glass or mirror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although there was no sign saying, drink me, on the bottle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice took off the cap and took a little drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that something interesting is going to happen. She whispered to herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever I eat or drink anything in this place, I hope I will grow large again, for I'm really tired of being such a small little creature. Before she had drunk half the bottle, her head pressed against the ceiling, and she had to bend down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To keep her neck and head from being squeezed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This happened much sooner than she had expected, making her feel very uncomfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quickly she put the bottle down and said, That's quite enough for now. I hope I won't be growing any more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, I can't even get out of the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dear me, I wish I hadn't drunk as much as I did. It was too late for such wishes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice continued to grow until she was down on the floor on her knees. By the next minute, she had to lie down on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With one elbow against the door and the other curled around her head to fit inside the room. Still she went on growing. As a last attempt she moved one arm out of the window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And her foot into the fireplace and up the chimney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luckily for her, there wasn't a fire in the fireplace. Soon she stopped growing. Alice was quite relieved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was much more pleasant at home, Alice remembered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least there, I wasn't always growing larger or becoming smaller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus, I didn't have to be ordered about by mice and rabbits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I almost wish I hadn't fallen down that rabbit hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still, it's rather curious and interesting, this kind of life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to read fairy tales, thinking that things like this would never happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I find myself here, right in the middle of one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, Alice heard the rabbit's voice outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then came the sound of his soft feet on the stairs. Alice knew he would soon find her. She started to shake all over from fright, making the house shake as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She forgot that she was now about a thousand times larger than the rabbit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And didn't have any reason to be afraid of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon the rabbit reached the door and was trying to open it, but Alice had pushed her elbow against the door, and there was no way for the rabbit to get in. Just then she heard him say to himself,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no you won't, said Alice, determined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just when she heard the rabbit under the window, she reached out with her hand and tried to grab him. Although she was not able to catch him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She heard the rapid scream, fall, and crash into what sounded like a lot of glass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She supposed that the rabbit had fallen into the vegetable garden house. It was a while before Alice heard anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then at last she heard the approaching sound of a wagon, which seemed to be carrying a lot of people who were all talking at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Occasionally she was able to make out a sentence or two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's the ladder? Bill's got the other. Bill, bring it here. Catch hold of that rope. Will the roof hold up? Watch that loose piece. Oh, it's coming down. Who's going to go down the chimney? Here, Bill. It looks like you've got to go down the chimney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so they are going to send Bill down the chimney, are they? said Alice to herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why, I'm glad I'm not him, because even though this fireplace is pretty small, I think I can still kick a little. And that's exactly what I'm going to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice pushed her foot up the chimney as far as it would go and waited until she heard the sound of a little animal scratching and moving in the space above her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That must be Bill, she said, and made one swift kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then she waited to see what was going to happen next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There goes Bill! the voices outside cried. Then the rabbit shouted,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last Alice heard a little, weak, squeaking voice that she knew must be Bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you even think about trying, I'm going to send Dinah after all of you. Alice yelled as loud as she could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instantly the crowd was silent. Alice began to wonder to herself about what they were going to do next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they have any sense, then they will take the roof off, she thought. After a few minutes had passed, Alice heard the rabbit say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To her surprise, a shower of little rocks were thrown against the window. Some even hit her in the face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd better put a stop to this, she shouted. You had better not do that again. All she heard was more silence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice soon noticed that the pebbles were all amazingly turning into little, delicious cakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe if I eat one of these, it will surely change my size. Since I can't possibly get any larger, I'm sure these must make me smaller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She ate one of the little cakes and was happy to find that she began getting smaller almost at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she was small enough to fit through the door, she quickly ran outside and discovered


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That a crowd of little animals and birds were waiting for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poor little Lizard Bill was in the middle of the crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Held up by two guinea pigs who were making him drink something out of a bottle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all ran towards Alice when they saw her but she ran off as fast as she could and soon


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Found herself safe in the middle of a thick wood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first thing I've got to fix, Alice told herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got to become my right size again. The second thing I'll do is to find my way back into that lovely garden. I think this is the plan I should use. It's certainly the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt it sounded like an excellent plan. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was the difficulty of not knowing how to carry out the plan. She didn't really have the slightest idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While she was anxiously looking among the trees, she heard what sounded like a sharp little bark just over her head. She immediately looked up. An enormous puppy larger than she had ever dreamed possible was looking down at her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had large round eyes and was carefully stretching out one pawl, trying to touch her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a poor little thing, said Alice in a friendly manner, and she tried to whistle to him. But she stopped herself all of a sudden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She became terribly frightened because it occurred to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the puppy might be hungry and could decide to eat her, even though she was just being friendly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hardly knowing what to do, she picked up a stick and held it out for the puppy to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He jumped off his feet high up into the air and with a delightful bark rushed to bring back the stick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice had to hide behind a huge flower to make sure he didn't run her over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Alice came around the other side of the flower, the puppy made another rush forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And fell head over heels in his hurry to bring back the stick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About being run over by his feet at any moment ran and hid behind the flower again. The puppy began to play with the stick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He made a series of short charges at the stick, running a little way forward and then a long way back, barking loudly. Finally,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He lay down quite far away from Alice, sighed heavily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his tongue was hanging out of his mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This seemed like a good opportunity for Alice to make her escape, so she ran away at once. She ran until she was out of breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] said Alice as she leaned against another large yellow flower to rest and fanned herself with one of its leaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really would have enjoyed teaching him some more tricks. But I'm not the right size to do it. Oh dear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd almost forgotten I have to grow big again. Let me think. How should I do it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I should start by eating or drinking something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking around at the flowers and blades of grass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She spotted a large mushroom that was about as tall as she was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then she decided to look at the top of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alice had to stand on the tips of her toes to look over the edge of the mushroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her eyes instantly met the eyes of a large blue caterpillar that was sitting on the top with his many arms folded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This interesting creature was also smoking a long hookah, which is also known as a water pipe. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't seem much interested in her, though, and did not pay the slightest attention to her or to anything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few days later, we met another ship named the Delight. Ahab again asked the captain the same question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The captain of the Delight replied by showing us a whale boat that was hanging. It was almost completely destroyed. Did you manage to kill him? asked Ahab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look what I have here, yelled Ahab, and he held up his new harpoon. God be with you, cried the captain of the delight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That cursed white whale has already killed five of my good men. This ocean is their grave. Fearing that only the worst could happen


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let our men return safely back to their wives and their children. Starbucks words seem to make Ahab soften.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his mother will be telling him about how I am at sea and how I will return again to play with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab stopped and something changed on his face. He said


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a monster inside of me that is making me do this. No, Starbuck. I will never rest until I have killed the evil Moby Dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next morning Ahab smelled the sea air and said, A whale is near.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon everyone could smell the strange smell that a sperm whale has, and the old man quickly changed the ship's course to follow it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will make the first sighting myself, cried Ahab. And I will have the gold coin for sighting the whale first, Ahab alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He pointed to the gold coin he nailed to the main mast so long ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab raised himself up the main mast for a full look at the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was about two thirds of the way up when we heard him shout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The men on deck were excited to have a quick look at the famous whale they had been chasing for so long. Moby Dick was about a mile or so ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we could all see his tall but silent spouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was I the first to see him? cried Ahab to all the men standing around on the ropes. I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost that same moment as you," said Tosh to go, and I cried out. Not the same instant, though, cried Ahab. No, the coin is mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heaven has saved it for me, for me, alone. Only I could make Moby Dick appear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab started to climb down and began shouting orders in excitement. Stand by! Stand by! Get the boats ready! Quicker! Quicker! And he lowered himself onto the deck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon all the boats but Starbucks were lowered into the ocean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab was close enough to see the lines on the white whale's head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The broken pole of a whaler's harpoon was still in Moby Dick's back. From here, the whale seemed so calm and peaceful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whale lifted up his body and made a high, white arch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he waved his tail like he was warning us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After this, he quickly sank below the surface of the ocean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three boats waited in the stillness for the return of Moby Dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab looked hard with concentration over the side of his boat into the deep sea. He saw a white form rising quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With one huge sweep of his steering oar, move the boat away from the jaws of the whale,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Moby Dick came up above the surface of the water again and was facing Ahab's boat. But with evil cleverness


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of his teeth became stuck in the lock for an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab's head was six inches from Moby Dick's mouth when the whale began to shake the boat gently, like a cat will do with a mouse in its mouth. Except for Fidala,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rest of the crew ran and fell over each other to reach the back of the boat. Fadala just sat there with his arms crossed. Ahab was crazy with anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He grabbed at the mouth of the whale with his bare hands and tried to pull it apart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this had no effect and Moby Dick, as if making fun of Ahab's efforts, bit the boat completely in two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The men had no choice but to jump into the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moby Dick angrily circled the area, mixing and turning up the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Pequod came between the whale and the swimming men. As Moby Dick swam away,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other boats flew to rescue Ahab and the men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though he was soaking wet, he jumped to his feet and shouted, Get your hands off me! Set the sail! Put the men behind the oars! We're going after that whale!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Stub's boat could not match the speed of the whale, even with the added men behind the oars. Moby Dick sped away into the ocean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, everyone was back on board the Pequod. Ahab spoke again of the coin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's going to stay there until the white whale is dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If any of you first sights the whale on the day he is killed, then the coin is yours. And if on that day I should again be the one to sight Moby Dick


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After saying this, Ahab took his position on deck with his leg in the deck's hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stood there until dawn, sleeping and awakening himself from the most horrible dreams. This was the first day of hunting Moby Dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahab's tiger yellow men seem to be made of steel and whale bone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like five strong hammers, they rode with hard, regular pulls on their oars. Fidala, at one end of the boat, pulled the harpooner's oar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While at the other end Ahab steadily managed the steering oar to direct the boat. Flask! called Ahab across to the other boat. Move your boat more to the leeward side, man. Yes, sir. Flask moved his large oar round. Row hard, men! he shouted. I can see the whales right ahead, boys. Roar and row as strong as thunder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, Stubb was helping his men to row in a very different and rather funny way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'd start with the most funny jokes and even tell stories to them. His tone was half angry and half joking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Row, row, my little ones! shouted Stubb. Why aren't your backs broken, boys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry about those five in that boat over there with Ahab. Hurrah for the golden cup of sperm oil!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The devil comes and takes you lazy bones away? You're all asleep! Wake up and roll!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take out your knife and start rowing with the blade between your teeth. That's more like it now. Starbucks, in another boat, had a different way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He whispered commands in a low, strong voice. Pull! Pull! My good boys! He wasn't one to say much to his crew. And they didn't say anything at all to him. The sight was all wonder and awe. The roaring waves of the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boats moving to the top of a watery hill, then sliding down its other side. The winds tossing them about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cries of the harpooners was mixed with the loud quick breathing of the rowers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Behind the boats came the Pequod with her full sails,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Following like a mother chicken chasing after her screaming babies. It was exciting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Queequeg jumped to his feet and waited for Starbuck's command. Then we heard, That's his hump! There, there! Give it to him! Queequeg's harpoon made a rushing sound. And then there was confusion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seemed like an invisible push coming from the back of our boat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then something rolled like an earthquake beneath us, tossing all of us helplessly into the sea. The wind, our boat, and the harpoon seemed to all mix together, and the whale, only touched by the iron, escaped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After some swimming, we were able to pick up our floating oars and climb back into the lonely boat. Because of the storm, we couldn't see the Pequod.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mist was getting deeper and it was no use to cry for help. Soon the dawn came on and we sat in our boat soaked with water, shaking from the cold and without hope. It was Queequeg who first heard a noise. He jumped to his feet, putting his hand to his ear. In the silence we heard a very soft creaking sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before any of us knew what was happening, the Pequod appeared heading toward us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all jumped into the sea just seconds before our boat was crushed by the Pequod.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On deck we learned that the three other boats had gotten back all right. Queequeg, I said, still shaking from the cold. My dear friend, does this happen often? He calmly told me that yes it did. Stub and Flask also agreed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because these three men thought it rather normal to be overturned in a small boat,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because that they saw nothing strange in starbuck going after a whale in the middle of a huge storm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also because of Ahab's mad desire to hunt for the white whale, I decided to be sensible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am going below deck to make a rough copy of my will. Come along, you shall be my lawyer and advisor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 13 Lying there, still thinking I was asleep, I could hear a voice speaking to me. Can you hear me? Please, you must wake up now. Can you hear me? I felt my body being shaken violently, followed by the same words. Soon I was able to open my eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found myself lying on one of the work tables in the laboratory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dr. Elsner was looking over me with worried eyes. He's awakening! Quick! Help me to sit him up!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I felt several pairs of hands lifting my back from the table and turning me so that my legs hung over the side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then a hand put something that smelled very horrible under my nose. I jumped back from it and found myself suddenly much more clear headed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They destroyed your machine just as we surrounded them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My heart felt like it would stop beating from sadness. I was going to have to stay in this world and watch it die before my eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was never going to see my beloved laboratory or any of you ever again. Why had I stopped here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elsner said I could not have returned home even if I had tried, but was that really true? Come on, man. There is still hope to save us, Elsner shouted. No, I said. I've seen the future. I know what will happen to your world. You say that I had no choice, that I had to stop here, but I tell you that I stopped here on my own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stopped here because it was the very end of modern humanity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm afraid that all of this must soon come to an end. We are aware of all that. Things have already started to get worse for us here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is why we need you to finish building our time machine. Please man, help us. I felt that I really had no choice. If I ever wanted to return to our time, I would have to build this machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew that they would first want to use it themselves to carry out their plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was the risk that whoever used the machine might be killed during his mission or somehow failed to return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, I decided that these were chances I would simply have to take. I agreed to finish the machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking more closely at their machine, I realized that they were not just missing a few parts, but they had actually made many mistakes in its construction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Several connections were made using different materials from my own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made a list of the problems and the new materials I would require and gave it to Elsner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within a few hours everything I needed was laid before me on the laboratory work table. Several assistants were assigned to me and I never once had to lift a finger. I simply told the men what to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were excellent workers, and they used tools I had never seen before, but wished I had, for I could not believe the speed with which they worked. They did, in just eight hours, what took me eight days to do. By evening the machine was finished. Elsner and I looked it over very carefully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He seemed very satisfied with the work, but still quite nervous. A question then came to me. Who would operate the machine? Traveling through time was a dangerous task.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it seems we have no choice but to send two people on the mission. One person will simply operate the machine while the other carries out the plan. Do you mean to use me? I asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are the only experienced time traveler that I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who may I ask will be my travel companion? At this Elsner smiled and said, Me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm afraid is information I cannot share with you at this time. Besides, it is hardly any concern of yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is my concern if it means being involved in a murder, I replied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still had many questions, but Elsner did not seem to want to hear them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It frightened me a little, the idea of trying to change history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this terrible entusian leader were never born, who might replace him as leader? Maybe someone much worse. Surely they had thought about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either their plan was very poorly developed, or there were many other missions that I had not been told about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put them on now, for we'll be leaving as soon as you're ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I must warn you doctor, it is dangerous for us to travel in the machine from this laboratory. Was this building here 94 years ago? No, it wasn't actually, he answered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] then this machine must be moved to the ground floor if we were to travel here


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We would fall from the sky once we came to a stop and that would be the end of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would suggest that we put the machine in the room you used to catch me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And travel from the same place I was traveling before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immediately, Elsner instructed the police to gather as many men as possible to have the machine move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In just half an hour we were back in the room of windows, ready to begin. Climbing into the machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to take a few moments to get used to the few differences there were from my own machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The future and past levers were turned around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I warned him about the first feeling of time travel. How it would seem like he were falling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I assumed that it was his nervousness that caused him to be so impatient. I started the machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And immediately the lights on the dials turned on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, taking hold of the past lever, I pushed it forward a few inches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The machine suddenly started racing very quickly into the past. Every second we traveled at least two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was moving too fast for me to control very accurately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried pulling the lever back a little, but the machine did not slow down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How was I to stop the machine at exactly 94 years in the past when I could not see the change in years very clearly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have to guess, and then stop the machine very suddenly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This would certainly throw both Elsner and me violently from the machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For just a second, I looked over at my companion to see how he was doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had thrown up all over himself and then fainted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought to myself that this might be for the best, since he could not know or fear what was to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The machine was going faster and faster through time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could only see the first three numbers on the dial. They read 303.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided that as soon as the third number changed to zero, I would pull back the lever. That moment arrived only two seconds later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I immediately pulled the lever back as hard as I could and was happy to find myself still seated in the machine when it stopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had forgotten to look at the dial to see how close we had come to the year 2994.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks as though we are two years earlier than we had planned, I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dial says we're in the year 2992. It doesn't matter, as long as it is before his birth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his parents are still living in this area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can still carry out our mission, said Elsner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking around us, it appeared that we were in a forested area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked Elsner how far he thought we were from the edge of the city now. We are still very near. Less than a mile, I would say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then seeing the vomit all over his clothing. Goodness! What happened here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, sorry about that, but there seems to be something wrong with the machine. I could not control the speed of our travel. I'm afraid you became quite ill. Well, I guess I'll have to change. Excuse me. Elsner then climbed out of the machine, taking the two small bags with him, went behind a large oak tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took the opportunity to look over the machine and tried to find out exactly what was wrong. Can you fix it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asked Elsner, coming out from behind the tree, wearing a new pair of pants and buttoning up a black shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but I'll need to remove part of the engine. We'll have to find some tools. Fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's move the machine over behind that row of trees. It will be harder for people to see there. We can look for tools in the city. Elsner seemed familiar with the woods we were in, for after hiding the machine,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My friends and I would ride our bicycles out here at six in the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And catch fish in a pond just on the other side of that hill over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We walked for about fifteen minutes until we came upon a cement path with a line down the center. It ran through the forest for what seemed like miles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I put my hand to the ground and found that it was vibrating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Ellsner grabbed me by the back of my shirt and pulled me to where he was standing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, there appeared a long train-like vehicle filled with people. It sped silently past us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon we found ourselves in front of a large silver building through which the train seemed to travel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elsner bought some tickets and we boarded the next train that came along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speeding through the city, I thought of something that upset me a great deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The leader of Entus was born here in our country. It was a year later that he moved to Entus. In fact, he was born in this very city. I felt very relieved to hear this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to finish this so-called mission as soon as possible, for the idea of being at work again within the walls of my laboratory was an extremely comforting one. I did not care so much for the world I was in, I must admit. It was much too frightening and fast for me. And this threat of war, although wars are common enough in our own time, they hardly threaten world destruction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least, in our day, the wars are left to the soldiers to fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wars of the future would make everyone a victim. Men, women, and children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got off the train 20 minutes later at a station in the center of town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The area was full of people rushing about on foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That train seemed to be the only form of transportation they had on land. I did not see a single horse or wagon


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come to think of it, I never saw any animals while visiting that time period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elsner suddenly stopped in the middle of the walkway and began looking through one of his bags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then quickly pushed the paper back into his bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was moving far too quickly, and the street was so full of people that I kept getting held back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon, all that I could see of him was his black collar among the bright red, yellow and green of the crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to shout for him to stop and wait, but he was too far to hear me, and I did not feel like calling attention to him or myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually, I made it through the street crowd and found myself in a narrow alleyway. Elsner was nowhere to be found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I called out his name as quietly as I could, but no response ever came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then something happened that nearly caused me to faint. A woman walked past me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was fairly short and very, very thin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her beautiful yellow hair brightly reflecting the intense sunlight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was wearing a long flowing purple dress. I could not take my eyes from her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt that I knew her and suddenly had the strong urge to call to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not know what to say, so I just yelled the first thing that came into my mind. Weena! She stopped and turned to look at me. Her face was nothing like Weena's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was about to say sorry to her and that I had made a mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When suddenly the woman fell hard to the ground, I ran over to her


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is difficult for me to remember it clearly enough to share it with you in detail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I do remember is Elsner then calling to me from behind. Let's go. Our work is done. I was too surprised to say anything to him. I felt as though I had been tricked somehow. He had promised not to kill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had said that it was just a matter of a little poison to prevent her from having children. I felt terrible. I had let another Weena die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said nothing to Elsner the entire way back to the machine. Nor did he speak to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, he seemed a little relieved and calmer than before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We arrived back at the forest just as the sun was beginning to set. So it was much more difficult to see one's way through the trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet, this did not seem to prevent Elsner from easily finding our hiding place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We removed all of the leaves and tree branches that we had used to cover the machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The room we landed in was not the glass one designed to catch me. It was an empty office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We both got out of the machine and stood there in the dark silence for several minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out the window, the sky seemed a dark reddish purple color. Elsner ran to the window to have a look. He seemed worried about the results of his work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lay a large city full of people just as before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only difference was that there were no surrounding trees and that high up into the sky,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Words of light seem to hang over the city in a deep dark red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, of course, could not read the words, so I asked Elsner to translate. He did not say anything for a few moments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, when I started walking away from the window, he said to me in a very low and weak voice, it says, Ecton City, the second capital of Antusia. I did not bother to say anything to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I let him stand there at the window looking pitiful and proceeded toward the machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And watched Elsner disappear with the rest of the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shows that passports are useless to detectives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The detective quickly went to the console's office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe my man is a passenger on the Mongolia. Well, Mr. Fix, replied the Consul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shall not be sorry to see the thief's face. But perhaps he won't come here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A robber doesn't like to leave evidence behind, and he's not required to have his passport signed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he is as smart as I think he is, console, he will come. To have a visa put in his passport? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passports are only good for annoying honest folks, and aiding the flight of thieves. But I hope you will not give him a visa. Why not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the passport is real, I have no right to refuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still, I must keep this man here until I can get a warrant to arrest him from London. Ah, so that's what you want. But I cannot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The console did not finish his sentence, because two strangers entered the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One was the servant Fixhead met, and the other held out his passport. The Consul took the document and carefully read it. You are Mr. Phineas Fogg, said the Consul. I am. And this is your servant. He is. A Frenchman named Passepartout. You are from London. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you are going to Bombay. Very good, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that you do not need a visa and that no passport is required. I know it, sir, replied Phineas Fogg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I wish to prove that I came by Suez. Very well, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But don't you think he matches the description of the robber?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but you know all descriptions. I'll make certain of it. Interrupted Fix. The servant is French and can't help talking. Fix started off in search of passepartout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Fogg returned to the boat and took his notebook, which contained


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wednesday, October 2nd at 8.45 pm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reached Paris, Thursday October 3rd at 7.20 a.m. Left Paris, Thursday at 8.40 a.m.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reach Turin by Mont Senes Friday, October 4th at 6.35 a.m.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Left Turin Friday at 7.20 a.m.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arrived at Brindisi, Saturday, October 5th at 4 p.m.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sailed on the Mongolia, Saturday at 5 pm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reached Suez Wednesday, October 9th at 11 a.m. Total of hours spent


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 158 plus. Or, in days, six days and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 30 Phineas Fogg simply does his duty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three passengers, including Passport 2, had disappeared. Had they been killed? Were they taken prisoners by the Sioux? There were many wounded, but none killed. Colonel Proctor was hurt very badly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He fought bravely and he was shot between his legs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aouda was safe, and Phineas Fogg had not been hurt. Fix was slightly hurt, but Passepartout could not be found. Aouda cried and cried. Everyone got off the train. The wheels were red with blood. The last of the Sioux were disappearing in the south. Mr. Fogg did not move. He had a serious decision to make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Auda looked at him and said nothing, but he understood her. I will find him, living or dead, he said quietly to Auda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She cried, and she grabbed his hands. Phineas Fogg had sacrificed himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A single day would make him lose the steamer at New York, and he would lose his bet. But he thought, it is my duty. The commanding officer of Fort Kearney was there. Sir, said Mr. Fogg to the officer, three passengers have disappeared. Will you follow the Sioux? That's very serious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I risk the lives of fifty men to save three? I don't know whether you can, sir, but you ought to do so. Nobody here, the officer replied, has a right to teach me my duty. Very well, said Mr. Fogg coldly. I will go alone. You, sir, cried Fix.

[Assistant] You would go alone after the Indians? Sir, you shall not go alone, cried the officer. You are a brave man. He called thirty men to join the search. Will you let me come with you? asked Fix. Do as you please, sir, but if you wish to do me a favor, you will stay with Aouda. In case anything should happen to me,

[Assistant] Fix did not know what to do. He had followed this man for so long. Would he let him go now? I will stay, he said. A few minutes later, Mr. Fogg left. But before going, he said to the soldiers, My friends,

[Assistant] I will give you five thousand dollars if we save the prisoners. It was a little past noon.

[Assistant] As Aouda waited, she thought about Phineas Fogg.

[Assistant] He had given up his fortune and risked his life for his servant. Fix thought differently. He felt foolish for letting Fogg go alone. He was very angry at himself. I have been an idiot. He thought. This man has seen it. He has gone and he won't come back. He thought of following Fogg.

[Assistant] At two o'clock a whistle was heard coming from the east. No train was expected from the east, and there was no time for other help to arrive.

[Assistant] It was the engine that had been separated from the train. The engineer was not dead. When he woke up, he saw that the engine was far away and he knew the train must be in trouble.

[Assistant] Said Aouda. Meanwhile, the passengers had boarded the train, including Colonel Proctor. The engineer whistled, the train started, and the train soon disappeared. Several hours passed. The weather was horrible, and it was very cold. Fix did not move from his seat. Aouda kept coming outside to look, even though the storm was very bad.

[Assistant] She heard and saw nothing. Evening came and the group had not returned. Where could they be? The officer was anxious, but he tried to hide it. Night came and the snow stopped, but it was extremely cold. Fix did not move, but did not sleep. The night passed this way. At dawn Phineas Fogg had not returned.

[Assistant] The officer, who was very worried, did not know what to do. Should he send more soldiers? Should he sacrifice more men? He did not wait long though. Gunshots were heard, and the soldiers rushed out of the fort. Was it a signal? It was Mr. Fogg.

[Assistant] Behind him were Passepartout and the two other travelers.

[Assistant] Passepartout and his companions had begun to struggle with the Sioux. The Frenchman beat three of them with his fists. They were welcomed with joyful cries. Phineas Fogg gave the reward to the soldiers. Passepartout said to himself, I cost my master dearly. Fix did not say a word.
