[00:02.55] | Chapter 5 |
[00:05.96] | Slowly, Old Mrs White went back into the house. |
[00:10.38] | Her husband looked up and saw something strange in her face. |
[00:14.96] | 'What's the matter?'he asked. |
[00:18.27] | 'Nothing,'his wife answered, |
[00:21.12] | and she sat down to finish her breakfast. |
[00:24.70] | She began to think about Tom Morris again |
[00:27.71] | and suddenly she said to her husband, |
[00:31.00] | 'Your friend drank a lot of whisky last night! |
[00:34.78] | A monkey's paw! What a story!' |
[00:39.51] | Mr White did not answer her |
[00:41.80] | because just then the post man arrived. |
[00:45.12] | He brought two letters for them- |
[00:47.60] | but there was no money in them. |
[00:50.80] | After breakfast the two old people forgot about the money and the monkey's paw. |
[00:56.89] | Later in the day, at about one o'clock, |
[00:59.94] | Mr and Mrs White sat down to eat |
[01:02.20] | and then they began to talk about money again. |
[01:06.93] | They did not have very much money, |
[01:09.22] | so they often needed to talk about it. |
[01:12.25] | 'That thirty thousand pounds,' |
[01:15.26] | Mrs White said, 'we need it!' |
[01:18.97] | 'But it didn't come this morning,' |
[01:21.23] | her husband answered.'Let's forget it!' |
[01:25.12] | Then he said,'But that thing moved. |
[01:29.24] | The monkey's paw moved in my hand! |
[01:32.53] | Tom's story was true!' |
[01:35.59] | 'You drank a lot of whisky last night. |
[01:38.85] | Perhaps the paw didn't move,'Mrs White answered. |
[01:43.60] | 'It moved!'Mr White cried angrily. |
[01:48.16] | At first his wife did not answer,but then she said, |
[01:52.33] | 'Well, Herbert laughed about it…' |
[01:56.57] | Suddenly she stopped talking. |
[01:59.15] | She stood up and went over to the window. |
[02:02.00] | 'What's the matter?' her husband asked . |
[02:05.98] | 'There's a man in front of our house,' |
[02:08.58] | Mrs White answered. |
[02:10.36] | 'He's a stranger-very tall-and well-dressed. |
[02:15.21] | He's looking at our house… |
[02:17.82] | Oh,no…it's OK…He's going away…' |
[02:23.02] | 'Come and sit down! |
[02:24.94] | Finish eating!'Mr White said. |
[02:29.13] | The old woman did not listen to her husband. |
[02:33.52] | 'He isn't going away,' |
[02:35.20] | she went on.'He's coming back. |
[02:38.65] | I don't know him-he's a stranger. |
[02:42.61] | Yes, he's very well-dressed…' |
[02:46.17] | suddenly Mrs White stopped. |
[02:48.66] | She was very excited. |
[02:50.64] | 'He's coming to the door… |
[02:52.85] | Perhaps he's bringing the money!' |
[02:55.49] | And she ran out of the room to open the front door. |
[02:59.77] | The tall, well-dressed stranger stood there. |
[03:03.48] | For a minute he said nothing, |
[03:05.36] | but then he began,'Good afternoon. |
[03:09.28] | I'm looking for Mr and Mrs White.' |
[03:12.70] | 'Well,I'm Mrs White,' the old woman answered. |
[03:16.79] | 'What can I do for you?' |
[03:19.26] | At first the stranger did not answer, |
[03:21.98] | but then he said,'Mrs White, |
[03:25.66] | I'm from Maw and Meggins. |
[03:28.68] | Can I come in and talk to you?' |
[03:32.10] | Maw and Meggins had a big factory |
[03:35.19] | and Herbert White worked there on the machinery. |
[03:38.45] | 'Yes,of course,'Mrs White answered. |
[03:42.06] | ' Please come in.' |
[03:44.46] | The well-dressed stranger came into the little living-room |
[03:48.20] | and Mr White stood up. |
[03:51.12] | 'Are you Mr White?' the stranger began. |
[03:55.42] | Then he went on,'I'm from Maw and Meggins.' |
[04:00.69] | Mrs White looked at the stranger and she thought, |
[04:04.83] | 'Perhaps he has the money… |
[04:07.52] | but why Maw and Meggins? |
[04:10.52] | And his face is very unhappy… Why?' |
[04:15.20] | suddenly the old woman was afraid. |
[04:18.98] | 'Please sit down,' Mr White began, |
[04:23.02] | but now his wife could not wait. |
[04:25.81] | 'What's the matter?'she cried. |
[04:28.70] | 'Is Herbert…'she could not finish the question. |
[04:33.54] | The stranger did not look at their faces- |
[04:36.50] | and Mr White began to be afraid too. |
[04:39.68] | 'Please, tell us!' he said. |
[04:43.42] | 'I'm very sorry,' the man from Maw and Meggins began. |
[04:49.34] | He stopped for a minute and then he began again. |
[04:54.26] | 'I'm very sorry, |
[04:56.65] | but this morning there was an accident at the factory…' |
[05:00.98] | 'What's the matter? |
[05:02.80] | Is Herbert OK?' Mrs White cried again. |
[05:07.51] | 'Well…' the man began slowly. |
[05:11.77] | 'Is he in hospital? |
[05:13.96] | the old woman asked, very afraid now. |
[05:17.43] | 'Yes, but…' the stranger looked at Mrs White's face and stopped. |
[05:25.40] | 'Is he dead? Is Herbert dead? |
[05:31.09] | Mr White asked quietly. |
[05:33.54] | 'Dead!' Mrs White cried. |
[05:36.43] | 'Oh no… please…not dead! |
[05:40.64] | Not Herbert! Not our son!' |
[05:45.77] | Suddenly the old woman stopped |
[05:48.35] | because she saw the stranger's face. |
[05:51.31] | Then the two old people knew. |
[05:53.99] | Their son was dead! |
[05:57.14] | Old Mrs White began to cry quietly |
[06:00.22] | and Mr White put his arm round her. |
[06:03.72] | Sometime later the man from Maw and Meggins said, |
[06:08.34] | 'It was the machinery-an accident Herbert called, |
[06:13.42] | "Help!". The men heard him- |
[06:16.73] | and ran to him quickly, |
[06:19.15] | but they could do nothing. |
[06:21.48] | The next minute he was in the machinery. |
[06:24.77] | I'm very, very sorry,' he finished. |
[06:30.30] | For a minute or two the room was quiet. |
[06:33.85] | At last Mrs White said, |
[06:36.68] | 'Our son! Dead! We're never going to see him again. |
[06:42.82] | What are we going to do without him?' |
[06:46.16] | Her husband said,'He was our son. We loved him.' |
[06:53.20] | Then Mrs White asked the stranger, |
[06:56.49] | 'Can we see him?Can we see our son? |
[07:00.56] | Please take me to him. |
[07:02.50] | I want to see my son.' |
[07:05.14] | But the stranger answered quickly, |
[07:07.74] | 'No!' he said.'It's better not to see him. |
[07:12.51] | They couldn't stop the machinery quickly. |
[07:15.80] | He was in there for a long time. |
[07:18.64] | And at first they couldn't get him out. |
[07:21.29] | He was… 'the man stopped. |
[07:24.55] | Then he said ,'Don't go to see him!' |
[07:29.01] | The stranger went over to the window |
[07:31.66] | because he did not want to see the faces of the two old people. |
[07:35.67] | He said nothing, |
[07:37.26] | but he stood there for some time and he waited. |
[07:41.82] | Then he went back to the old people and began to talk again. |
[07:46.86] | 'There's one more thing,' he said. |
[07:50.68] | 'Your son worked for Maw and Meggins for six years and he was a good worker. |
[07:56.54] | Now Maw and Meggins want to help you at this unhappy time.' |
[08:02.10] | Again the stranger stopped. |
[08:05.23] | After a minute he began again. |
[08:08.58] | 'Maw and Meggins want to give you some money. |
[08:12.75] | ' Then he put something into Mr White's hand. |
[08:16.37] | Old Mr White did not look at the money in his hand. |
[08:20.21] | Slowly he stood up and looked at the stranger, afraid. |
[08:24.93] | 'How much?' Mr White asked, very quietly. |
[08:30.77] | He did not want to hear the answer. |
[08:33.77] | 'Thirty thousand pounds,' the stranger said. |

[02:29.13] | The old woman did not listen to her husband |
[02:33.52] | ' He isn' t going away,' |
[02:35.20] | she went on' He' s coming back |
[02:38.65] | I don' t know himhe' s a stranger |
[02:42.61] | Yes, he' s very welldressed' |
[02:46.17] | suddenly Mrs White stopped |

[03:55.42] | Then he went on,' I' m from Maw and Meggins' |
[04:00.69] | Mrs White looked at the stranger and she thought, |
[04:04.83] | ' Perhaps he has the money |
[04:07.52] | but why Maw and Meggins? |
[04:10.52] | And his face is very unhappy Why?' |

[05:07.51] | ' Well' the man began slowly |
[05:11.77] | ' Is he in hospital? |
[05:13.96] | the old woman asked, very afraid now |
[05:17.43] | ' Yes, but' the stranger looked at Mrs White' s face and stopped |
[05:25.40] | ' Is he dead? Is Herbert dead? |
[05:31.09] | Mr White asked quietly |
[05:33.54] | ' Dead!' Mrs White cried |
[05:36.43] | ' Oh no please not dead! |
[05:40.64] | Not Herbert! Not our son!' |
[05:45.77] | Suddenly the old woman stopped |
[05:48.35] | because she saw the stranger' s face |

[06:53.20] | Then Mrs White asked the stranger, |
[06:56.49] | ' Can we see him? Can we see our son? |
[07:00.56] | Please take me to him |
[07:02.50] | I want to see my son' |

[03:55.42] | Then he went on,' I' m from Maw and Meggins' |
[04:00.69] | Mrs White looked at the stranger and she thought, |
[04:04.83] | ' Perhaps he has the money |
[04:07.52] | but why Maw and Meggins? |
[04:10.52] | And his face is very unhappy Why?' |
[04:15.20] | suddenly the old woman was afraid |
[04:18.98] | ' Please sit down,' Mr White began, |
[04:23.02] | but now his wife could not wait |
[04:25.81] | ' What' s the matter?' she cried |
[04:28.70] | ' Is Herbert' she could not finish the question |
[04:33.54] | The stranger did not look at their faces |
[04:36.50] | and Mr White began to be afraid too |
[04:39.68] | ' Please, tell us!' he said |
[04:43.42] | ' I' m very sorry,' the man from Maw and Meggins began |
[04:49.34] | He stopped for a minute and then he began again |
[04:54.26] | ' I' m very sorry, |
[04:56.65] | but this morning there was an accident at the factory' |
[05:00.98] | ' What' s the matter? |
[05:02.80] | Is Herbert OK?' Mrs White cried again |
[05:07.51] | ' Well' the man began slowly |
[05:11.77] | ' Is he in hospital? |
[05:13.96] | the old woman asked, very afraid now |
[05:17.43] | ' Yes, but' the stranger looked at Mrs White' s face and stopped |
[05:25.40] | ' Is he dead? Is Herbert dead? |
[05:31.09] | Mr White asked quietly |
[05:33.54] | ' Dead!' Mrs White cried |
[05:36.43] | ' Oh no please not dead! |
[05:40.64] | Not Herbert! Not our son!' |
[05:45.77] | Suddenly the old woman stopped |
[05:48.35] | because she saw the stranger' s face |
[05:51.31] | Then the two old people knew |
[05:53.99] | Their son was dead! |
[05:57.14] | Old Mrs White began to cry quietly |
[06:00.22] | and Mr White put his arm round her |
[06:03.72] | Sometime later the man from Maw and Meggins said, |
[06:08.34] | ' It was the machineryan accident Herbert called, |
[06:13.42] | " Help!" The men heard him |
[06:16.73] | and ran to him quickly, |
[06:19.15] | but they could do nothing |
[06:21.48] | The next minute he was in the machinery |
[06:24.77] | I' m very, very sorry,' he finished |
[06:30.30] | For a minute or two the room was quiet |
[06:33.85] | At last Mrs White said, |
[06:36.68] | ' Our son! Dead! We' re never going to see him again |
[06:42.82] | What are we going to do without him?' |
[06:46.16] | Her husband said,' He was our son We loved him' |
[06:53.20] | Then Mrs White asked the stranger, |
[06:56.49] | ' Can we see him? Can we see our son? |
[07:00.56] | Please take me to him |
[07:02.50] | I want to see my son' |
[07:05.14] | But the stranger answered quickly, |
[07:07.74] | ' No!' he said' It' s better not to see him |
[07:12.51] | They couldn' t stop the machinery quickly |
[07:15.80] | He was in there for a long time |
[07:18.64] | And at first they couldn' t get him out |
[07:21.29] | He was ' the man stopped |
[07:24.55] | Then he said ,' Don' t go to see him!' |
[07:29.01] | The stranger went over to the window |
[07:31.66] | because he did not want to see the faces of the two old people |
[07:35.67] | He said nothing, |
[07:37.26] | but he stood there for some time and he waited |
[07:41.82] | Then he went back to the old people and began to talk again |
[07:46.86] | ' There' s one more thing,' he said |
[07:50.68] | ' Your son worked for Maw and Meggins for six years and he was a good worker |
[07:56.54] | Now Maw and Meggins want to help you at this unhappy time' |
[08:02.10] | Again the stranger stopped |
[08:05.23] | After a minute he began again |
[08:08.58] | ' Maw and Meggins want to give you some money |
[08:12.75] | ' Then he put something into Mr White' s hand |
[08:16.37] | Old Mr White did not look at the money in his hand |
[08:20.21] | Slowly he stood up and looked at the stranger, afraid |
[08:24.93] | ' How much?' Mr White asked, very quietly |
[08:30.77] | He did not want to hear the answer |
[08:33.77] | ' Thirty thousand pounds,' the stranger said |
