It must also be remarked that if, as sometimes chanced…

Track length8:21
Instead, then, of harrowing up my reader's soul…
Track length6:55
Hortense, when she mentioned…
Track length8:11
I sometimes, you are aware…

Track length6:56

Track length9:25
The morning passed as usual.
Track length7:53
'It will not be fair till the moon rises,'…

Track length8:39
'I ask again…'
Track length8:00

Track length8:57
Mr. Helstone opined that 'they were like other fools…'
Track length5:25
That was her father.
Track length5:42
For the whole remnant of your life…
Track length8:26
Not only was she destined to be favoured…
Track length8:02
The proceeds of such compulsory…
Track length7:36
These strictures, he seemed to think…
Track length7:20
And now, in the natural course of events…
Track length6:21
Now, having caught these words…
Track length7:18
Chapter 8
Track length8:19
'Joe's a sensible fellow,'…
Track length7:28
The active life to which he had been born…
Track length7:38
'Brayvo, Noah o' Tim's!'
Track length5:22
At length one of them approached.
Track length5:31
He still stood brooding in silence…
Track length5:33
Chapter 9
Track length8:11
The roof of the chapel did not fly off…
Track length7:37
Mr. Yorke, if a magic mirror were now held before you…

'He has been out of work three months.'
Track length8:05

Track length8:59
She was very quiet, and Robert paid her little attention…
Track length8:01
Mute was the room, mute the house.
Track length7:58
'But their houses are dismal: they are both old maids.'
Track length7:54
She went to work at this business…
Track length6:34
Caroline was soon at home in that tiny parlour.
Track length6:55
Chapter 11
Track length7:51
She felt this night and prospect mournfully lovely.
Track length7:48
People never die of love or grief…
Track length8:52
The brown-panelled parlour was furnished…
Track length6:03
Tartar was a rather large, strong, and fierce-looking…
Track length6:52
'You must choose me for your churchwarden…'
Track length5:28
Chapter 12
Track length7:41
'Our England is a bonny island,' said Shirley…
Track length7:52
'I often wonder, Shirley, whether most men resemble my uncle…'
Track length7:21
'Did you ever meet him?'
Track length7:36
Miss Helstone's new acquaintance soon became of value…
Track length7:48
Here the fragment stopped, because Shirley's song…
Track length5:59
'Of course, then,' observed Miss Keeldar…
Track length5:58
Chapter 13
Track length7:13
'I saw that Robert felt its beauty…'
Track length5:46
'How do you please to do?'
Track length5:48
Late in the afternoon she dressed herself.
Track length7:58
Now, as on a thousand other occasions…
Track length7:08
'We are aware that mermaids do not exist…'
Track length8:04
'Hortense will be ready to shed tears.'
Track length7:25
'Nothing, Robert.' But her voice faltered.
Track length5:34
'Do you observe that? Certainly I am disentangled…'
Track length7:44
Chapter 14
Track length8:58
'Shirley, I never had a sister – you never had a sister…'
Track length7:21
'Some people say we shouldn't give alms to the poor…'
Track length7:00
It was with some horror Miss Ainley heard this…
Track length5:55
Shirley caught and comprehended the expression.
Track length4:56
Chapter 15
Track length8:07
For the sake of air, as it appeared…
Track length8:17
Instead of re-entering the house, they strayed…
Track length8:38
'You would say it is not much in my way…'
Track length9:08
Chapter 16
Track length8:22
But this year Shirley was to be with her…
Track length7:33
Besides, the lady of the manor…
Track length6:44
Only half-hiding! Peter saw the laugh…
Track length5:56
Chapter 17
Track length5:49
And he strode on with such a determined and deliberate gait…
Track length6:44
Caroline's ears yet rung with that thrilling whisper…
Track length7:58
Now and then, from the way in which he looked down…
Track length7:37
Shirley, as she watched, grew restless…
Track length9:31
Chapter 18
Track length6:53
Caroline, going a little apart, paced to and fro…
Track length7:06
'I suppose you were angry with me, William?'
Track length6:49
'So am I, Joe,' replied Shirley…
Track length6:43
Chapter 19
Track length6:53
'There is neither spirit nor flesh in the house…'
Track length7:05
'They have done well,' returned Shirley…
Track length8:41
'Robert is prepared.'
Track length6:56
The chance was not vouchsafed her…
Track length8:00
Chapter 20
Track length7:35
By this time the news of what had happened at the Hollow…
Track length7:42
'Mr. Moore has, I believe, sent up for refreshments…'
Track length6:36
She resumed her usual cheerful and cordial manner…
Track length7:52
Chapter 21
Track length8:26
'For errors of this sort is he to be the victim of mob outrage?'
Track length6:49
Shirley gazed at the questioner with rising colour.
Track length7:02
The sort of reverent pleasure with which Caroline listened…
Track length6:32
'I said nothing to Mrs. Hardman…'
Track length7:28
'You echo my uncle's words!' exclaimed Caroline…
Track length6:53
Chapter 22
Track length8:11
Meantime John moots doubtful questions…
Track length7:02
Separated from Miss Keeldar for the present…
Track length4:31
'People hate to be reminded of ills…'
Track length5:33
Chapter 23
Track length7:18
Her reasons for the preference, as assigned by herself…
Track length7:56
She stopped, then went on…
Track length7:52
It was seldom she met with all these obnoxious qualities…
Track length6:01
After the meal Rose restored her to good-humour…
Track length6:43
She took her bonnet from the table where it lay…
Track length6:06
She saw a visage like and unlike – Robert...
Track length6:42
Chapter 24
Track length6:58
With all this care it seemed strange the sick girl did not get well…
Track length9:34
She fell back on her pillow.
Track length7:50
The hymn followed him faintly…
Track length7:28
She held her to her bosom; she cradled her in her arms…
Track length7:32
'It seems. so natural, mamma…'
Track length5:01
The respected ecclesiastic looked pleased…
Track length5:40
Chapter 25
Track length6:08
Long before the emaciated outlines of her aspect began to fill…
Track length6:32
'Mamma, I am determined you shall not wear that old gown…'
Track length6:01
Chapter 26
Track length7:59
Henry Sympson, the only son and youngest child of the family…
Track length8:04
'Well, well,' was her comment.
Track length7:55
Yet that name astonished her 'Shirley Keeldar, Sympson Grove…'
Track length6:24
'Whether do you like me or mr. Sam Wynne best…'
Track length6:33
But Shirley was cool and lofty no longer…
Track length6:48
Chapter 27
Track length8:09
During Miss Keeldar's stay at the fashionable watering-place …
Track length6:57
His appearance had at first elicited some laughing…
Track length5:03
Her pure white dress, her fair arms. and neck…
Track length5:34
Possibly Miss Keeldar resented her former teacher's…
Track length8:17
There is one in this tribe too often miserable…
Track length7:50
'This is a son of God…'
Track length7:28
'We sat one on each side of him.'
Track length8:06
Chapter 28
Track length8:14
Harry limped forward.
Track length7:01
'Well, sir, that if I lived to inherit my father's…'
Track length7:05
'Did you want me, sir?' she asked.
Track length8:12
'As I stood leaning…'
Track length5:44
'Why, Mr. Moore?'
Track length6:54
'Miss Keeldar, I had once, for two years…'
Track length6:18
Chapter 29
Track length6:48
'It is pleasant to write about what is near and dear…'
Track length6:50
'I myself am not her slave – I declare it…'
Track length8:19
Chapter 30
Track length7:39
'Would you advise me to propose…'
Track length6:16
'With this sensible resolve I walked up to Fieldhead…'
Track length8:11
'"There has been error in what I have done," I said…'
Track length6:39
'Mary Cave was not what you think her, Yorke.'
Track length9:15
Chapter 31
Track length8:15
Mr. Sympson had been out…
Track length8:01
'What, madam – what could be your reasons…'
Track length7:57
Mr. Sympson rose up furious.
Track length6:55
Mr. Sympson was becoming a little bewildered.
Track length7:12
Chapter 32
Track length6:48
For the best part of one winter night…
Track length7:01
Being seated, he takes from his satchel a book…
Track length6:07
'Martin, how is Mr. Moore?'
Track length8:33
Chapter 33
Track length8:18
It struck four. He heard the church clock…
Track length8:24
They sat down. Caroline drew her chair up to his.
Track length8:34
Chapter 34
Track length9:52
Satisfied or not, he had time to get very angry
Track length8:14
Chapter 35
Track length6:22
He entered the house. It was afternoon…
Track length7:08
'I am glad you are better.'
Track length8:05
Caroline was moved, much moved.
Track length9:00
Chapter 36
Track length8:11
'I took my usual seat at the desk…'
Track length9:06
'"Juno could not cook a buffalo steak…"'
Track length8:06
'"With having nothing but a very plain person…"'
Track length7:53
'She took the coin out of her apron pocket…'
Track length8:08
'Had I been obtrusive…'
Track length7:31
Once again he writes, a week after…
Track length6:07
Chapter 37
Track length6:33
I doubt not a justice-loving public will have remarked…
Track length7:46
It had needed a sort of tempest-shock…
Track length8:22
'I love you, too, Robert…'
Track length7:55
'Caroline, the houseless, the starving, the unemployed…'
Track length5:19
