Karen Savage, Chapter twenty nine, A weird tale. On an
4
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.640
early June evening, Rainbow Valley was an entirely delightful place,
5
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.160
and the children felt it to be so as they
6
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.920
sat in the open glade, where the bells rang elfishly
7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.480
on the tree lovers, and the white lady shook her
8
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.280
green tresses. The wind was laughing and whistling about them,
9
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.719
like a lale, glad hearted comrade. The young ferns were
10
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.240
spicy in the hollow. The wild cherry trees scattered over
11
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.759
the valley among the dark firs were mistily white. The
12
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:43.039
robins were whistling over in the maples behind ingleside. Beyond
13
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.719
on the slopes of the glen were blossoming orchards, sweet
14
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.719
and mystic and wonderful, veiled in dusk. It was spring,
15
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.359
and young things must be glad in spring. Everybody was
16
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.119
glad in Rainbow Valley that evening until Mary Vance froze
17
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.679
their blood. With the story of Henry war Laran's ghost.
18
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.840
Jem was not there. Jem spent his evenings. Now studying
19
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.680
for his entrance examination in the Ingleside garret, Jerry was
20
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.040
down near the pond trouting. Walter had been reading Longfellow's
21
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.439
sea poems to the others, and they were steeped in
22
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.799
the beauty and mystery of the ships. Then they talked
23
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.640
of what they would do when they were grown up,
24
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.719
where they would travel the far fair shores, they would
25
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.319
see Nan and Di meant to go to Europe. Walter
26
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.840
longed for the Nile, moaning past its Egyptian sands and
27
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.519
a glimpse of the Sphinx faith. The pined rather dismally
28
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.040
that she supposed she would have to be a missionary.
29
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.719
Old Missus Taylor told her she ought to be, and
30
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.480
then she would at least see India or China, those
31
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.959
mysterious lands of the Orient. Karl's heart was set on
32
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.959
African Jungles. Una said nothing. She thought she would just
33
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.560
like to stay at home. It was prettier here than
34
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.200
anywhere else. It would be dreadful when they were all
35
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.000
grown up and had to scatter over the world. The
36
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.879
very idea made Una feel low and homesick, but the
37
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.159
others dreamed on delightedly until Mary Vance arrived and vanished
38
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.039
Poesy and dreams at one fell swoop, Laws. But I'm
39
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.919
out of puff, she exclaimed, I've run down that hill
40
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.639
like sixty. I got an awful scare up there at
41
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.840
the old bailey place. What frightened you, asked I? I dunno.
42
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.560
I was pokin about under them lilacs in the old garden,
43
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.240
trying to see if there was any lilies of the
44
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.000
valley out. Yet it was dark as a pocket there,
45
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.000
and all at once I seen something stirring and rustling
46
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:31.759
around at the other side of the garden and those
47
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.400
cherry bushes. It was white. I'd tell you. I didn't
48
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.719
stop for a second look. I flew over the die
49
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.520
quicker than quick. I was sure it was Henry Warren's ghost.
50
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.240
Who was Henry Warren? Asked I? And why should he
51
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.719
have a ghost? Asked Nan Laws. Did you never hear
52
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.680
the story and you brought up in the glen? Well,
53
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:52.560
wait a minute till I get my breath all back,
54
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.560
and I'll tell you. Walter shivered delightsomely. He loved ghost stories,
55
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.840
their mystery, their dramatic climax, their eeriness gave him a
56
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:07.360
fearful exquisite pleasure, Longfellow instantly grew tame and commonplace. He
57
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.400
threw the book aside and stretched himself out, propped upon
58
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.319
his elbows, to listen wholeheartedly, fixing his great luminous eyes
59
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.280
on Mary's face. Mary wished he wouldn't look at her,
60
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.520
so she felt that she could make a better job
61
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.960
of the ghost story if Walter were not looking at her.
62
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.879
She could put on several frills and invent a few
63
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.479
artistic details to enhance the horror. As it was, she
64
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.039
had to stick to the bare truth, or what had
65
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.120
been told to her. For the truth, well, she began.
66
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.439
You know, Old Tom Bailey and his wife used to
67
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.680
live in that house up there, thirty years ago. He
68
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.240
was an awful old rip, they say, and his wife
69
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.280
wasn't much better. They'd no children of their own, but
70
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.080
a sister of old Tom's died and left a little boy,
71
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.240
this Henry Warren, and they took him. He was about
72
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.840
twelve when he came to them, and kind of undersized
73
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.719
and delicate, they say. Tom and his wife used him
74
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.960
awful from the start, whipped him and starved him. Folks
75
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.919
said they wanted him to die so's they could get
76
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.840
the little bit o money his mother left for him.
77
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:07.080
Henry didn't die right off, but he begun having fits epileps,
78
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.560
they called him, and he grew up kind o simple
79
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.639
till he was about eighteen. His uncle used to thrash
80
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.680
him in that garden up there, cause it was back
81
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.680
of the house where no one could see him, but
82
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.959
folks could hear, and they say it was awful sometimes here,
83
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.399
and poor Henry plead with his uncle not to kill him,
84
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.560
but nobody dared interfere, cause Old Tom was such a
85
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.920
reprobate he'd have been sure to get square with him.
86
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.560
Someway he burned the barns of a man at harbor
87
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.040
Head who offended him. At last Henry died, and his
88
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.120
uncle and aunt gave out. He died in one of
89
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.759
his fits, and that was all anybody ever knowed. But
90
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.319
everybody said Tom had just up and killed him for
91
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.120
keeps at last. And it wasn't long till it got
92
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.319
around that Henry walked That old garden was haunted. He
93
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.600
was heard there at nights, moaning and crying. Old Tom
94
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.000
and his wife got out, went out west and never
95
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.879
came back. The place got such a bad name nobody'd
96
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.560
buy or rented. That's why it's all gone to ruin.
97
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.959
That was thirty years ago. But Henry Warren's ghost haunts
98
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:08.959
it yet. Do you believe that, asked Nan scornfully. I don't. Well,
99
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.279
good people have seen him and heard him, retorted Mary.
100
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.800
They say he appears and grovels on the ground and
101
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.079
holds you by the legs and gibbers and moans like
102
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.600
he did when he was alive. I thought of that
103
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.759
as soon as I seen that white thing in the bushes,
104
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.000
and thought if it caught me like that and moaned,
105
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.480
I'd drop down dead on the spot. So I cut
106
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.079
and run. It mightn't have been his ghost, but I
107
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.879
wasn't going to take any chances with a haunt. It
108
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.759
was likely old missus Stimson's white calf, laughed. I it
109
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.040
pastures in that garden. I've seen it, maybe so, but
110
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.720
I'm not gonna go home through the Bailey garden any more.
111
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.319
Here's Jerry with a big string of trout, and it's
112
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.759
my turn to cook em. Gem and Jerry both sam
113
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.079
the best cook in the glen, and Cornelia told me
114
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.240
I could bring up this batch of cookies. I all
115
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.839
but dropped em when I saw Henry's ghost. Jerry hooted
116
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.360
when he heard the ghost story, which Mary repeated as
117
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:59.639
she fried the fish, touching it up a trifle or so.
118
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.199
Since Walter had gone to help Faith to set the table,
119
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.800
it made no impression on Jerry, But Faith and Una
120
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.120
and Karl had been secretly much frightened, though they would
121
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.720
never have given in to it. It was all right
122
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.879
as long as the others were with them in the valley.
123
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.639
But when the feast was over and the shadows fell,
124
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.759
they quaked with remembrance. Jerry went up to Ingleside with
125
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.879
the Blythes to see jem about something, and Mary Vance
126
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.839
went around that way home, so Faith and Una and
127
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.920
Karl had to go back to the manse alone. They
128
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.399
walked very close together and gave the old bailey garden
129
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.560
a wide berth. They did not believe that it was haunted,
130
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.160
of course, but they would not go near it for
131
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:47.160
all that End of Chapter twenty nine

00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.919
out of puff, she exclaimed, I've run down that hill
40
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.639
like sixty. I got an awful scare up there at
41
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.840
the old bailey place. What frightened you, asked I? I dunno.
42
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.560
I was pokin about under them lilacs in the old garden,
43
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.240
trying to see if there was any lilies of the
44
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.000
valley out. Yet it was dark as a pocket there,
45
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.000
and all at once I seen something stirring and rustling
46
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:31.759
around at the other side of the garden and those
47
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.400
cherry bushes. It was white. I'd tell you. I didn't
48
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.719
stop for a second look. I flew over the die
49
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.520
quicker than quick. I was sure it was Henry Warren's ghost.
50
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.240
Who was Henry Warren? Asked I? And why should he
51
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.719
have a ghost? Asked Nan Laws. Did you never hear
52
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.680
the story and you brought up in the glen? Well,
53
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:52.560
wait a minute till I get my breath all back,
54
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.560
and I'll tell you. Walter shivered delightsomely. He loved ghost stories,
55
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.840
their mystery, their dramatic climax, their eeriness gave him a
56
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:07.360
fearful exquisite pleasure, Longfellow instantly grew tame and commonplace. He
57
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.400
threw the book aside and stretched himself out, propped upon
58
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.319
his elbows, to listen wholeheartedly, fixing his great luminous eyes
59
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.280
on Mary's face. Mary wished he wouldn't look at her,
60
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.520
so she felt that she could make a better job
61
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.960
of the ghost story if Walter were not looking at her.
62
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.879
She could put on several frills and invent a few
63
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.479
artistic details to enhance the horror. As it was, she
64
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.039
had to stick to the bare truth, or what had
65
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.120
been told to her. For the truth, well, she began.
66
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.439
You know, Old Tom Bailey and his wife used to
67
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.680
live in that house up there, thirty years ago. He
68
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.240
was an awful old rip, they say, and his wife
69
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.280
wasn't much better. They'd no children of their own, but
70
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.080
a sister of old Tom's died and left a little boy,
71
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.240
this Henry Warren, and they took him. He was about
72
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.840
twelve when he came to them, and kind of undersized
73
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.719
and delicate, they say. Tom and his wife used him
74
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.960
awful from the start, whipped him and starved him. Folks
75
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.919
said they wanted him to die so's they could get
76
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.840
the little bit o money his mother left for him.
77
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:07.080
Henry didn't die right off, but he begun having fits epileps,
78
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.560
they called him, and he grew up kind o simple
79
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.639
till he was about eighteen. His uncle used to thrash
80
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.680
him in that garden up there, cause it was back
81
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.680
of the house where no one could see him, but
82
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.959
folks could hear, and they say it was awful sometimes here,
83
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.399
and poor Henry plead with his uncle not to kill him,
84
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.560
but nobody dared interfere, cause Old Tom was such a
85
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.920
reprobate he'd have been sure to get square with him.
86
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.560
Someway he burned the barns of a man at harbor
87
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.040
Head who offended him. At last Henry died, and his
88
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.120
uncle and aunt gave out. He died in one of
89
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.759
his fits, and that was all anybody ever knowed. But
90
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.319
everybody said Tom had just up and killed him for
91
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.120
keeps at last. And it wasn't long till it got
92
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.319
around that Henry walked That old garden was haunted. He
93
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.600
was heard there at nights, moaning and crying. Old Tom
94
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.000
and his wife got out, went out west and never
95
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.879
came back. The place got such a bad name nobody'd
96
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.560
buy or rented. That's why it's all gone to ruin.
97
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.959
That was thirty years ago. But Henry Warren's ghost haunts
98
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:08.959
it yet. Do you believe that, asked Nan scornfully. I don't. Well,
99
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.279
good people have seen him and heard him, retorted Mary.
100
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.800
They say he appears and grovels on the ground and
101
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.079
holds you by the legs and gibbers and moans like
102
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.600
he did when he was alive. I thought of that
103
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.759
as soon as I seen that white thing in the bushes,
104
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.000
and thought if it caught me like that and moaned,
105
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.480
I'd drop down dead on the spot. So I cut
106
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.079
and run. It mightn't have been his ghost, but I
107
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.879
wasn't going to take any chances with a haunt. It
108
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.759
was likely old missus Stimson's white calf, laughed. I it
109
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.040
pastures in that garden. I've seen it, maybe so, but
110
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.720
I'm not gonna go home through the Bailey garden any more.
111
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.319
Here's Jerry with a big string of trout, and it's
112
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.759
my turn to cook em. Gem and Jerry both sam
113
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.079
the best cook in the glen, and Cornelia told me
114
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.240
I could bring up this batch of cookies. I all
115
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.839
but dropped em when I saw Henry's ghost. Jerry hooted
116
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.360
when he heard the ghost story, which Mary repeated as
117
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:59.639
she fried the fish, touching it up a trifle or so.
118
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.199
Since Walter had gone to help Faith to set the table,
119
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.800
it made no impression on Jerry, But Faith and Una
120
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.120
and Karl had been secretly much frightened, though they would
121
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.720
never have given in to it. It was all right
122
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.879
as long as the others were with them in the valley.
123
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.639
But when the feast was over and the shadows fell,
124
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.759
they quaked with remembrance. Jerry went up to Ingleside with
125
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.879
the Blythes to see jem about something, and Mary Vance
126
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.839
went around that way home, so Faith and Una and
127
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.920
Karl had to go back to the manse alone. They
128
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.399
walked very close together and gave the old bailey garden
129
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.560
a wide berth. They did not believe that it was haunted,
130
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.160
of course, but they would not go near it for
131
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:47.160
all that End of Chapter twenty nine
