1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: M twelve Ghosts is a production of I Heeart three

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,039
Speaker 1: D audio and grim and mild from Aaron Banky Headphones.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: Recommended listener discretion advised. Out of the bosom of the air,

4
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: out of the cloud, folds of her garments, shaken over

5
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: the woodland's brown and bear over the harvest fields forsaken,

6
00:00:35,760 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: silent and soft and slow, descends the snow. But we

7
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: are warm here inside. Who are you? I'm the innkeeper, now, Annabel,

8
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: who are you? More wine? I think the Romans called

9
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: this conditum paradox um, and it was a bitter brew,

10
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: but it fortified the soul all the same, warmed the body, relaxed,

11
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: the mind, loosened the tongue. Over time, recipes changed based

12
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: on what was available, and eventually, praise all that is good.

13
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: It became palatable. But it doesn't matter, does it. The

14
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: spirit is still the same. So to speak. We fill

15
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: ourselves with the warming spices and alcohol courses through our veins,

16
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: and for a little while at least we forget the

17
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: cold wind rattling the windows. M Look at the time,

18
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: will you? Oh? We should be expecting our next guest

19
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: right about huh, Well, pardon me, won't you good evening traveler.

20
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: I've been expecting you come in. I was, I don't remember.

21
00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: It's so fine. Please sit. This is Annabelle. Hello. We

22
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: were just having a nice warm cup of mulled wine.

23
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: Would you like to join us knock a little of

24
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: the chill off your bones? Yes? Yes, thank you. Annabelle

25
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: and I were just discussing the history of drunkenness of

26
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: in a warmth. Here join us. Thank you. Something troubles you? Noel?

27
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: Have we met? We've not, but I've read your name

28
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: in my ledger earlier. Oh what is it that weighs

29
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: on your mind? I have a question, please, How does

30
00:03:52,800 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: one know if they've encountered something supernatural? Are are signs

31
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: spectral symptoms? Or are we ready made with just some

32
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: base human instinct where we can like smell the lack

33
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: of blood in their hollow little veins. I can't smell anything.

34
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Homer, Alaska? Folks call it

35
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: the end of the road. One way in, one way out,

36
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: and you have to really try to get there. You

37
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: don't just stumble upon it blindly. You have to seek

38
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: out the finite ends of things in this world. There

39
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: aren't many of them. And Homer is one of those few.

40
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: The town looks like a postcar it mountain back drops

41
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: nestled right up against the sea. Thousands are small and

42
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: candy colored. The air feels like cold nourishment, and I

43
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: see snake nuzzling your lungs, reminding you of the life

44
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: somersaulting through your body. If there's a heaven, it looks

45
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: like Homer. It's a small town, beautiful but small, just

46
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: over five thousand residents. Now, five thousand sounds like a

47
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: big number until you realize that you know everything there

48
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: is to know about each and every one of your neighbors.

49
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Which ones are cheating with which other ones, who's hiding

50
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: their drinking problem, who's not hiding their drinking problem, and

51
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: which ones came all the way to some tiny village

52
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: to start a new life where no one would come looking.

53
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: Now that last one, that's most of them. No shame

54
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: in it. I believe most people think about disappearing at

55
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: one point or another, leaving all of your possessions and

56
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: loved ones behind. The Residents of Homer were just brave

57
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: enough to pull the trigger and actually do it. You've

58
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 1: thought about doing it too, haven't you? Or you're thinking

59
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: about it now, at least just you alone, staring down

60
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: the end of the road. M HM. I used to

61
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: work the overnight shift at the Sheriff's Office rookie officer,

62
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: which in this sense means I was essentially a glorified

63
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: night porter. In all my time there, not one person

64
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: had ever been brought in late night. So naturally it

65
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: took me off guard when I found a stranger in

66
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: the holding cell halfway through my shift on a blustery

67
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: Tuesday evening, Dan, I'm near scared the iron right out

68
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: of my blood. No clue how long he had been

69
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: in there. There was no intake paperwork, no note from

70
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: the previous guard, just a sallow husk of an older man, gaunt,

71
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: his face patchy and red, chewed raw by the cracked

72
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: teeth of Alaskan winter air. He was thoroughly dehydrated, his

73
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: muscles and veins popping from his frame like a failed

74
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: escape Trapped to his body by only the worn elasticity

75
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: of his paper skin. The man was haggard, chased by

76
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: a massive debt of sleep. His eyes were open, though

77
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: yellow and bloodshot, as they were tracking my movements. As

78
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: I stepped closer to peer into his cell like he

79
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: was some diseased animal and a roadside zoo. I thought

80
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: it was a simple enough question, jen what's your name?

81
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: The man blinked at me, a whirlpool of delirium behind

82
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: his eyes. He opened his mouth, moved his lips around

83
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: a series of words, but soundlessly, like someone had put

84
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: the old bastard right on mute. Most unsettling thing I'd

85
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: ever seen at that stage of the night. Anyway, I repeated, sir,

86
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: what is your name? And there he went, moving his

87
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: mouth again. But this time I thought maybe I could

88
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: hear something buzzing deep in his gullet, like a tiny

89
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: faction of bees. I'm having a little trouble hearing you,

90
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: I said, Can you come a little closer? He stood,

91
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: wavering on his feet and shuffle toreward to the bars

92
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: of the cell. I planned my feet firm and pulled

93
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: my shoulders back. I'm not a big woman, but I've

94
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: learned how to fake stature in my time. I asked

95
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: him a third time, can you tell me your name?

96
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: This time I could confirm the man was indeed speaking.

97
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: He sounded like a recording of a recording put on

98
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: the lowest volume setting. And trapped in a tin can,

99
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: he said. His lips continued crawling around the shape of

100
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: his words long after the sentence fell from his mouth,

101
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: like a poorly dubbed movie, and then he jerked a

102
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: purple hand into his multi jeans pocket and pulled out

103
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: his wallet for me. I d red Kyle Gibbert, Los Angeles, California.

104
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: I told old Kyle he was quite a ways from home,

105
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: and in that staticy, faraway voice, he simply repeated, I

106
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: mean no offense to our host, but this wine tastes

107
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: like the forgotten dreams of a used up band aid.

108
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: It's weak as hell. You water it down. Oh, I

109
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: would never, but go on. I could probably stand to

110
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: drink more water anyways, So I put Mr Gilbert into

111
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: our database. Turns out he'd been missing since and was

112
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: officially pronounced dead seven years later. Funny thing. The man

113
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: prowling around in that cell like a feral animal only

114
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: looked half dead to me. But this wasn't the first

115
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: time someone new showed up in Homer to disappear. So

116
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: I ran a full background check. No jobs, no residences,

117
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: no taxes, paid nothing at all to indicate that Kyle

118
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Gilbert should be standing here in front of me, sucking

119
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: in the air that was intended only for the living.

120
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: I asked if he went by any other aliases, but

121
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: through that same thick, mismatched static, he wheezed again. I

122
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: just need to waste m hm. So I did the

123
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: next logical thing. I called his estranged wife in the

124
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: middle of the night, woke her plumb up and asked,

125
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: Mrs Gilbert, I swear to God, you never heard the

126
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: grog drop from somebody's voice faster in your life. Set

127
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: me straighter than spider silk. Mrs Gilbert made it very

128
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: clear that she did not go by that name anymore.

129
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: I older that I had Kyle with me, thirty miles

130
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: away in a dinky, little drunk tank at the end

131
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: of the road. Kyle, my Kayle, she asked. I checked

132
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: the idea again. The little picture showed a healthy young man,

133
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: handsome by some standards, life coursing through his cheeks and

134
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: hanging plump around his face and neck. This thing in

135
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: the cage across from me bore no resemblance. But before

136
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: I could say so, the woman on the line told

137
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: me she had long since made peace with the death

138
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: of her husband, and she'd take legal action if harassment

139
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: of this nature were to continue, and even if he

140
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: were alive, she didn't want him no more. She was done,

141
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: moved on, remarried and all and then click, she was gone,

142
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: and Kyle Gibbert was fully my problem. A saggy gray

143
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: holding cell ain't no proper place to get a good

144
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: night's eap. I knew nobody else would be coming in

145
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: that night, and I knew what it's like to turn

146
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: up brand new for the first day in a fresh life.

147
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Second chances are everything. We don't judge or ask questions.

148
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: And Homer, you want to wander out of your Los

149
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: Angeles apartment, disappear off the face of the earth, convinced

150
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: the world you're dead, then show up nearly ten years later,

151
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: ready to start all over. Well, I suppose I'm going

152
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: to give you a warm bed to sleep in that night,

153
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: and a hot cup of coffee in the morning to

154
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: get you on your way. It's the neighborly thing to do.

155
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: The world looked different walking beside Kyle on the way

156
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: back to my home. I remember thinking, maybe I just

157
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: never really paid attention to the world. At night, Those

158
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: candy colored houses dulled to mute shades of their daytime glory.

159
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: In the shadows. I could feel the wind sawing at

160
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: the tip of my nose, but couldn't hear it's normally

161
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: persistent whale, and the snow that dripped from the sky

162
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: white crystall line fluffs during the day smeared like ash

163
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: on my fingertips under the moon's two tone pallor. Kyle's

164
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: mouth moved wordlessly as we walked, a steady drone of

165
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: static buzzing from his windpipe. At one point he threw

166
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: his head back, mouth wide, his throat undulating with the

167
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: heft of a screeching, feedback laden belly laugh. He quieted

168
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: contemn wide smile on his sunken, cracked face. I lived

169
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: alone in a cozy one bedroom. A rookie sheriff's salary

170
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: doesn't buy any much, but what I had suited me

171
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: just fine. Besides, the overstuffed couch stationed in my living

172
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: room had seen its share of wayward visitors, and it's

173
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: time never once with any complaint. I layered the cushions

174
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: a thousand blankets deep and fluffed my finest down pillows

175
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: for my guest. But Kyle stood frozen in the door

176
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: frame flickering underneath the faulty porch light. I took him

177
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: by the hand to lead him inside, cold, his fingers

178
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: rigid like they had snap under the pressure of my

179
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: gentlest touch. The winters are harsh and home. Come on,

180
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: let's get you to sleep, I whispered to Kyle. I

181
00:15:53,440 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: just me to rest, to spell. He crackled. The chill

182
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: of the next morning woke me earlier than usual. I

183
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: thought the pilot light must have gone out at some

184
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: point in the middle of the night. I bowled on

185
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: my thickest robe and warmest house shoes, hoping that the

186
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: veritable sauna I'd created out of blankets had been enough

187
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: to keep Kyle Gibert warm on the couch that to

188
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: no one's real surprise, Kyle wasn't there. The blankets were

189
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: pulled tight and ducked in, completely undisturbed aside from their wetness,

190
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: damp and freezing cold like, Kyle was nothing but a

191
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: man shaped block of ice that had melted right through

192
00:16:45,480 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: the sofa into the floorboards, absorbed into earth itself. Mh.

193
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: I didn't go back to work after that, never called

194
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: in or gave any notice. I just walked right past

195
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: the sheriff station, and kept on walking. They call Homer

196
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: the end of the road. One way in, one way out.

197
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: I never tried walking past the end of the road

198
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: before until that next day. The sky was overcast, blinding white,

199
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: perfectly camouflaged against a new layer of fresh snow, impossible

200
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: to tell where the ground ended and the sky began.

201
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: And then in all that whiteness, night fell, and everything

202
00:17:54,280 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: blotted out into an inky abyss there and then nothing.

203
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: There was something, the buzzing of a tiny faction of

204
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: best Kyle Gilbert's feedback laden laughter. And there were others too,

205
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: Recordings of recordings of droning, indecipherable whisper spattered through the dark,

206
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: static e siren songs for me to follow. So I did,

207
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: and then well you know where this is going, sparked

208
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: from the void. There was suddenly a beacon of light,

209
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: of flickering orange flame through thick tempered glass windows and

210
00:18:47,080 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: olden you all hunkered down inside. Oh yeah, I have

211
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: to say, it's been so nice meeting all of you.

212
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I think the Knight's caught up with me

213
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. I'm who's so tired? That's all right, though,

214
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: I'll be better. I just need to rest a spell.

215
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: You've come a very very long way, Noel, and it

216
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 1: just so happens that you've arrived at the very best

217
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: place to rest. Yes, good, I happen to have here

218
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: a beautiful key, simple brass, polished to shine, an older key,

219
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: hollow barrel, and baroque bow, one of my favorites. It

220
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: belongs to a door on the second all the second

221
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: door on the left. On the other side is the

222
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: very thing that you have come to find. I'll give

223
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: it to you. I hope that it will suffice. Thank you.

224
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: Go now, Noel, good night, good night? Ah Now where

225
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: were we? Oh? The wine? We were talking about the wine,

226
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: and before that you were going to tell me your story?

227
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: Was I I do believe so I don't recall agreeing

228
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: to that. Oh well, I must be mistaken. But the

229
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,600
