<v Speaker 1>will be revealed. The Seventh Daughter. H Hello, Roy, come

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>in Rose. Fine, no one saw you come in. No,

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I came up through the cellar. Good, have a seat, Roy. Now,

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>if we can get another booking, we'll bring you back in.

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>But right now we're dark. Oh sure, Rose, I understand.

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, I hoped I might engage your services

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>in another way. Sure, what do you need a little

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>gumshoe work? I'm not exaggerating when I say Pandora's future

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>depends on it. Hey, I do anything for the kid. Rose.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>You know that I knew I could count on you.

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>So Pandora is doing a cabinet sitting completely cold and blind.

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>We've got the illusions covered, but we need to know

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>something about the woman who's hosting the seance. Truth secrets

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't need to be dirt, just things no body else knows.

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>That'll be a cinch. Who's the mark, that's just it?

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. They won't tell us. Come on, Rose,

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 1>ain't nobody could donny that they have clues. There's a

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>famous doctor in town. He set the whole thing up,

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>so he's our connection to the mystery woman. Here. I've

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>written down his name, Albert fry Hair, his title sort

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 1>of like a Baron von Shrink, not saying I wish

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I could afford a monica like that. He's in town

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to lecture at the mid Atlantic College of Medicine. So

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking this person, this woman is connected to the

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>school somehow, probably a donor, because we have reason to

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 1>believe she's wealthy, and if she's interested in spiritists, she

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>must have some heartrending secret she can't let go of.

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>She's a twenty minute cab ribe from the theater, if

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>that helps. That doesn't exactly narrow it down. The sitting

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>is a week from now, so we haven't much time.

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>If Pandora goes in there and gets it wrong, it'll

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>ruin her name. They will publicly humiliate. Maybe you should

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>put it off until we can figure out. We can't

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>show any reluctance, any sign of weakness. Start with shrink.

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Do whatever you need to do. Get us something. I'll try.

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're the delivery man, right, I expect you to

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>deliver here. Take this. It's two weeks payment. Consider it

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>an advance against any information you can scrape up. Wow, Rose,

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>that that's mighty generous. All right, Roy, I don't mind

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>putting my money on a horse like you, a sure thing,

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>short odds with a big payoff. Thanks Rose. Don't mention

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>it now that business is concluded, take a load off.

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I was just about to smoke a bindle. If you'd

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>care to join me, I shouldn't. I just managed to

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 1>get off the stuff and Dora. Pandora's here, yes, ma'am.

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Prepare my pipe enough for myself and our guest. You

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>don't have to smoke if you don't want to. You

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 1>can always just snuggle up close to us and breathe.

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Pandora has become quite adept. Look at her soft white hands,

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>how gently they tease the little brown pearl perfectly round,

0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>ready to hatch our little green friend here lie on

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>your side, you will have the first breath of paradise.

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Let the lamp warm the pearl, hum. Put the bamboo

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>against your lips, moisten the whole with your tongue. That's it. Now,

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 1>breathe it in. Allow the dragon to crawl through the

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>pipe into your mouth. M Let its tongue slither down

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>your throat. Feel its claws pricking the inside of your lungs.

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>You feel it, roy, I'm sure you do, warming your

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>blood with its breadth, every drop that flows through your veins.

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Did you see her hands? What's that, roy Her hands? Oh? Yes,

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>she has lovely hands. Pandora. Stroke the pearl like I

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 1>taught you, so it can feel the flame. Hats it

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'll take the pipe. Now. I think you've had

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>enough for the dragon to properly spread its wings. You've

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 1>got a job to do. I want to stay. It's

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>too late, roy Already I see you rising up, your body,

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>leaving the straw matt. Your head is no longer resting

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>on the silk pillow. You are levitating above us, moving

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>out through the walls, lifted skyward on dragons wings, sinking

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>down to the street, crawling along the ground like a

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>winter fog, a vapor permeating everything, spreading like a virus

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>from one person to the next, until you reach the

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 1>sidewalk outside the Medical College, and you lie there, silent

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>as a shadow, waiting until a door or window is

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>opened just enough to quietly steal inside and tip toe

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>through the hallways, searching, searching, starting at the College of Medicine,

0:07:53.680 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>lurking in the holes, crawling over the transoms, searching, watching. Yes,

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, I have a message to deliver the Baron

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>von Shrink. He's in a lecture right now. Leave it

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>with me. I'll see that it gets a no. No, no,

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I have strict orders to deliver it personally. Which way

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>is the lecture hall? You can't go in the lecture.

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>It's fine, It's fine. I'll just wait outside third floor,

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 1>south end of the hall. Thanks plans today, city, I

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.360

<v Speaker 1>who is apparently quiet gifted not only with materializations but

<v Speaker 1>psychic pummunications. Is Davenport of the American Society for Psychical Research,

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>has graciously offered to host us as should be quite

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a demonstration indeed, but I hope that if my lecture

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:19.560

<v Speaker 1>God sorry to hear that, but happy to report that

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>cash isn't the only currency I accept. I am a

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>buyer and seller of useful information. And like I said,

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking to get in good with your boss. Then

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the girl you want to speak to was my girl,

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.439
<v Speaker 1>all of them, you know, like that, the one who's

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>addresses on the package. The girl works for Mrs Davenport.

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.559
<v Speaker 1>She dresses her in the morning and puts her to

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 1>bed at night. She and the old girl, and just

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>sort of like that. Gee, this olive sounds like a

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>swell kid. Well, don't get me wrong, I just want

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to do right by all. One day she's gonna have

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 1>my name. I'm just you know, I'm not there yet,

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 1>not this soon. Listen, pal, what's the doctor removes the pit,

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>You'll be free to start a family whenever you're ready.

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>So how far along is the little lady? Not enough

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>of Miss daven Boy to get wise. But if the

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 1>old lady does find out, show ship all of off

0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to some homeful way with girls, the nit booties and mittens.

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>So you've discussed this with the girl. Yeah, she's not

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>happy about it, but she knows it's the only thing

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>we could do right now. So when is Olive's next

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Liberty Sunday? Shall I send a car to pick her up? Here?

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm a chauffeur, I'll drive it. I can borrow Mr

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Davenports to day Sundays in my day off to Ah.

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting the picture now. I'll give you an address.

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 1>You memorize it, but you don't write it down. Madam

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Francis Howard, she's a specialist, but you can't hang out

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>a shingle for obvious reasons. You'll bring her over at

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>nine thirty Sunday morning. You'll walk her up to a

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 1>flat on the fifth floor. You'll greet the doctor. Then

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>you go back to your car and wait. You don't

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>pay her anything. You'll just say hello, doctor, delivery man

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>sent me here to return a package. Got that? Hello doctor, Hello,

0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Madame Francis. Yes, this is my gal. All of the

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>sent me here. Delivery man sent me here to cancel

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>a package. Olive. Such a pretty name, such a beautiful girl.

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Please come in. Do you mind if I think it'd

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>be better if you wait downstairs? Come back in an

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 1>hour if you'll say so, Drew, I say so. Lie

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>down here, be as comfortable as you can. Is this

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the first time you've been in this situation? Yes? M hm,

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>trust me, it's nothing to be frightened of. I'm going

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>to give you something to help you relax. What is it? Laudanum? Nonsense,

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>it's no different from ether. Most doctors use one or

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the other. I prefer laudanum, and this is my own formulation.

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I find that it provides pleasant dreams. It will, to

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 1>be sure, it will allow you to have a nice

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 1>rest while I perform my work. Here one spoonful M

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:45.440
<v Speaker 1>and then another to sweeten the dream. M fine, Now

0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll lie you back, sweetheart. I will need you to

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>keep talking while I do this. I need to know

0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.120
<v Speaker 1>that you are awakened, that your mind is alert and

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>that you're feeling no pain. Yes, ma'am, that's a girl.

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>One day you will have a baby, just not today. Yes, yes,

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'll be very careful so that you are unchanged

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 1>by this experience. I want to have a child. I do,

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and I think Drew will be wonderful father. But but

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 1>we can't. We don't have the money. And my employer

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't understand. Mm hmmm, her ladyship, I would have

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 1>to quit my job. Your boyfriend does not make enough

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>money for the two of you know, maybe I don't

0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 1>think so take a deep breath. Take a deep breath,

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>hold it. That's it good. Mm hmm. I thought about

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:20.399
<v Speaker 1>having the baby, giving it up to the orphanage. Mrs Davenport.

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what she would have had me do. Keep talking.

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>The cook's helper was having a baby. Mrs Davenport had

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>everything set for her, but may went back to the

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 1>country to have the baby instead. There are ways to

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:45.359
<v Speaker 1>avoid this situation, you know. I hear the club women

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Mrs Davenport's friends talk about birth control at their meetings.

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 1>What kind of meetings, she said, pick shot in the

0:17:55.160 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 1>reform movement? Oh yes, what is she reforming the vote, temperance,

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 1>clean milk for the poor, fresh air for the orphans,

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>something new every week. I hear it when I serve

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.680
<v Speaker 1>them tea. After they had a meeting to talk about

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:22.040
<v Speaker 1>birth control, I asked Mrs Davenport if I could have

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the pamphlets they had given her. She wouldn't.

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:31.919
<v Speaker 1>She said birth control is for the criminal class, the

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 1>negroes and the emigrants, that healthy people should have babies.

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Deep breath, Where does this come from? Is she a

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>deeply religious person? Breathe? She goes to church? She goes

0:18:54.640 --> 0:19:00.199
<v Speaker 1>to church. Does she have a husband, this lady, no,

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>he died years ago. Tell me more about her, Mrs Davenport.

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Why we have to talk about something? And the Laudanum

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 1>works better when you're speaking, and I need to know

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you are awake. I don't want to think about her,

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>about him, about the way things are. I'd rather think

0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>about the way I want things to be. Tell me

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.520
<v Speaker 1>about the woman. It is the fair you must pay

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to get on the ferry, and once the boat leaves

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the shore, you will have the most wonderful dreams, and

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 1>this Davenport woman will be in none of them. Yes,

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>and you will walk in this land of promise, this

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 1>land where happiness is still possible, where a man's word

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>is never broken, where a woman can follow the path

0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of her own juices. She's a widow. Her husband made

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.160
<v Speaker 1>his fortune and copper mining enough for her to live

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>on forever. They had a child, but it died before

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:23.119
<v Speaker 1>its second birthday. It was a girl. This happened before

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I was in her service. She never talks about her husband.

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.679
<v Speaker 1>She's a photo. If I decide I want to walk

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:38.359
<v Speaker 1>on the path Withdrew, then I will. Ye will stop drinking,

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:43.680
<v Speaker 1>or her stop wasting his money on dices first love,

0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and become the kind of man he could be if

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>he would just allow himself the chance an artist. And

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 1>if he doesn't, then but her parents refused, I could

0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 1>choose another path with another man, itself, unkind man, a

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 1>man who is true to his word, who will love

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.119
<v Speaker 1>me in spite of everything and help me forget the

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:17.080
<v Speaker 1>difficult years of my youth. Yes, he'll let me speak

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 1>my mind. He'll want me to speak my mind. He'll

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.400
<v Speaker 1>want to hear the things I have to say. He'll

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 1>be interested in me, and I will reward his love

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:44.800
<v Speaker 1>with faithfulness, loyalty and children, healthy children. I will surround

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>him with their bright smiles and blonde hair and soft

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>voices and love. Feeling me arms of a child around

0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 1>my neck. I don't want to give it up. I

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>want my baby olive. I don't want to lose my child.

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to stop and let my baby live. We're

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:16.439
<v Speaker 1>all finished. I need you to come back to us,

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Come back where follow the trail of smoke. No back

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 1>here to my room and there so dark, filthy. You

0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:40.440
<v Speaker 1>can't stay in your dreams forever. You have to come

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:46.440
<v Speaker 1>back to our world. But I I don't want to

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 1>live in that world. You must, please, please, if you'll

0:22:57.080 --> 0:23:02.680
<v Speaker 1>let me stay and let me dream, just another hour,

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:08.639
<v Speaker 1>just a few more minutes. Feel yourself slipping back into

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:11.760
<v Speaker 1>your own skin, your own But I don't want to

0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 1>be here. I'm sick of being me. Let me be

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the woman I wish I could be. You did it once,

0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I felt so true. You can do it again. Only

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 1>make it less longer, make it last for I'm sorry.

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll live, truly I am, but we all have to.

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Please don't bring me back, Mrs Howard. I can't live

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 1>this life much longer. It's not as bad as all

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 1>that things will let me die now while I'm happy,

0:23:57.119 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 1>things will be better when you return, better than they

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 1>were before. I promise you can't promise me that I

0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:10.159
<v Speaker 1>can come back. I will prove it to you. But

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>it was so warm there. The light was golden, and

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>my skin never felt warmer than when the sun the

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 1>sun was shining on me. There. He was standing in

0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>a pond, at the edge of a pond in the sun.

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:45.479
<v Speaker 1>And I saw someone I know I haven't seen for years,

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and I was talking to her. She was holding something

0:24:56.920 --> 0:25:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and it was and you sit up for me, trying

0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:12.080
<v Speaker 1>to remember now what was her name? She was holding

0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 1>something and it was so important that day. What time

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:25.679
<v Speaker 1>is it? Quarter past ten in the morning. But I was, oh,

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 1>wait for so long that can't be stand up and

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 1>let's see if you're feeling well enough to walk. Your

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:39.480
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend Drew, isn't it. He's waiting for you. I asked

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:43.200
<v Speaker 1>him to come back for you. Drew is still here. Yes,

0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:49.400
<v Speaker 1>he waited like the gentleman. He is beneath his course exterior. Yes,

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:55.919
<v Speaker 1>you can come in now. I wish you every happiness

0:25:56.520 --> 0:26:03.680
<v Speaker 1>as you start your life. Anew, thank you, thank you, madam.

0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Howard is Is she okay, She's fine, healthy as can be.

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Take her directly home and see that she goes to

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:16.119
<v Speaker 1>bed and stays in bed until morning. And tomorrow she

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 1>should stay off her feet as much as possible. Sure thing, doctor, goodbye,

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:37.680
<v Speaker 1>my child? Good bye? Were you watching, Pearl? I think

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be sick? Were you watching as I

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:44.840
<v Speaker 1>told you to? So you understand why I did what

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I did. It is important that you learn about such things,

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>whether it serves as a warning to you, something to

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 1>avoid at all costs, or something you could do if

0:26:55.560 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you had to to survive. You killed that woman's baby.

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 1>You may be a child, but there are things you

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:09.160
<v Speaker 1>need to learn, painful and difficult things. Sacrifices a mother

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:12.040
<v Speaker 1>must make for the sake of herself and her child.

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 1>You kill it to avoid it, having a childhood with

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>no future, to avoid, a kind of motherhood that is

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:22.439
<v Speaker 1>death itself. You cannot understand. But she did it for

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the sake of her child. Not this woman, but the

0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 1>child to come, the second daughter, maybe the third, or

0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:35.439
<v Speaker 1>the seventh. I wish to God your mother were alive.

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:41.200
<v Speaker 1>If you knew your mother, you would understand sacrifice valued

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:45.040
<v Speaker 1>her child's life more than her own. Sometimes I think

0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 1>she was a fool to do such a thing, but

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 1>it's what she wanted. Prepare my pipe. I'm tired. I'm

0:27:57.400 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 1>going to sleep. Fine, fix my pie, and then get

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:10.480
<v Speaker 1>in bed. Pearl, Could you prepare the pipe yourself? Prepare

0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:15.359
<v Speaker 1>it myself? Not one night, after all, I've been doing

0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:21.360
<v Speaker 1>just this once. That's fine. You don't have to prepare

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the pipe. I don't no go to bed. You won't

0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 1>prepare my pipe tonight, and I won't prepare it either,

0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 1>and no spoonful of YINCHI yes, it will be a

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:40.840
<v Speaker 1>valuable lesson for you to see what happens to me

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:45.480
<v Speaker 1>if I don't have the pipe. I'll tell you now,

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>neither of us will sleep tonight. By sunrise, you'll be

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>begging me to taste the dragon's breath, but I won't

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 1>because you need to see how strong my will is

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and what a monster become. If denied the pipe, you

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 1>could quit if you wanted to. We could see a doctor.

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there. Why would I want to quit? Deny myself?

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 1>One of the only pleasures to be had in this

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:32.719
<v Speaker 1>foul and rotten world here, breeze world, devoid of meaning,

0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 1>permeated with filth, lacking justice. We don't count for much

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>in this world, but we will put one thing right.

0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:50.360
<v Speaker 1>There's still time for you to do some reading before

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you sleep, Madame Blavatsky. I think a hint of Eastern

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:58.680
<v Speaker 1>religion would serve as a little more bait for the hook.

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:04.000
<v Speaker 1>M hm. We just need to coax the baron to

0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:10.800
<v Speaker 1>come a little closer and have a taste and want

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 1>it's in his throat. We pull just firmly enough, Pearl, Pearl,

0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I must now replace my blind hold. As my vision

0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 1>begins to fade, your own senses will gradually return, Return

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:54.600
<v Speaker 1>to the warmth and the light of your own reality.

0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:01.400
<v Speaker 1>The Seventh Daughter is a pro auction of I Heart Radio,

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>written and directed by Brett Wood, recorded and mixed by

0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Rob Gal, featuring Minca Wilkes as Rose and Elizabeth Hunter

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:21.960
