0:28The argument that I had with my brother
0:30in his great lonely house
will scarcely interest you.
0:33Not those, at least, whom I hope may be
attracted by the experiment that I undertook,
0:39and by the strange things that befell me
in that hazardous region into which
0:43so lightly and so ignorantly
I allowed my fancy to enter.
0:48It was at Oneleigh that I had visited him.
0:55I’m sorry, I just don’t agree with you.
0:58Hearing stories from others is no
real evidence of their existence.
1:02Fine, fine, think what you will.
1:04I just don’t think you should be so fast
to dismiss the possibility altogether.
1:08Why else would there be
so many reports of them?
1:11Reports? They’re stories brother!
Myths! Fairytales!
1:16Have you ever seen a ghost yourself?
1:21Of course not,
I think I would have said earlier.
1:26Let’s just drop it, brother,
it’s getting dark and I’m hungry.
1:45You must be starving.
1:46Extremely, but you can take it back.
I want to try something.
1:51Don’t be silly,
you’ve had a long journey
1:53and besides, what am I to do with it?
I’ve had my share.
1:56Then save it for the morning,
tonight I shall go without food.
2:00Ah, you stubborn fool.
2:15It was a windy winter,
and outside the cedars were muttering
2:19I know not what about;
but I think they were
2:22Tories of a school long dead,
and were troubled about something new.
2:37My brother went to bed
bored with our argument.
2:40But I had other plans in mind.
2:45In the distant corners
old masses of darkness
2:50sat still like chaperones
and never moved.
2:56Over there,
in the darkest part of the room
2:59stood a door that was always locked.
3:03It led to a hall,
but no one ever used it;
3:07near that door
something had happened once
3:09of which the family are not proud.
3:13We do not speak of it.
