/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142371-0078.wav | 312,844 | and not by other people's fault i'm none for worreting said mister poyser rising from his three cornered chair and walking slowly towards the door |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0000.wav | 517,484 | with two beds in it one laid on the floor it is ten o'clock on thursday night and the dark wall opposite the window shuts out the moonlight that might have struggled with the light of the one dip candle by which bartle massey is pretending to read |

/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0002.wav | 278,444 | he has one arm over the back of the chair and he seems to be looking down at his clasped hands he is roused by a knock at the door |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0003.wav | 464,844 | said bartle massey rising hastily and unfastening the door it was mister irwine adam rose from his chair with instinctive respect as mister irwine approached him and took his hand i'm late adam |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0004.wav | 383,724 | let us all sit down adam took his chair again mechanically and bartle for whom there was no chair remaining sat on the bed in the background have you seen her sir |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0005.wav | 478,444 | yes adam i and the chaplain have both been with her this evening did you ask her sir did you say anything about me yes said mister irwine with some hesitation |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0006.wav | 498,604 | it is not only you some fatal influence seems to have shut up her heart against her fellow creatures she has scarcely said anything more than no either to me or the chaplain three or four days ago before you were mentioned to her |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0007.wav | 427,404 | when i asked her if there was any one of her family whom she would like to see to whom she could open her mind she said with a violent shudder tell them not to come near me i won't see any of them |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0008.wav | 174,604 | if they now urge you strongly to go and see her to morrow morning even without her consent |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0009.wav | 483,084 | that the interview might affect her favourably but i grieve to say i have scarcely any hope of that she didn't seem agitated when i mentioned your name she only said no in the same cold obstinate way as usual |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0010.wav | 454,764 | and if the meeting had no good effect on her it would be pure useless suffering to you severe suffering i fear she is very much changed adam started up from his chair |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0011.wav | 471,402 | and seized his hat which lay on the table but he stood still then and looked at mister irwine as if he had a question to ask which it was yet difficult to utter bartle massey rose quietly turned the key in the door |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0012.wav | 498,286 | and put it in his pocket is he come back said adam at last no he is not said mister irwine quietly lay down your hat adam unless you like to walk out with me for a little fresh air |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0013.wav | 486,124 | i fear you have not been out again to day you needn't deceive me sir said adam looking hard at mister irwine and speaking in a tone of angry suspicion you needn't be afraid of me i only want justice |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0014.wav | 510,444 | i want him to feel what she feels it's his work she was a child as it ud ha gone t anybody's heart to look at i don't care what she's done it was him brought her to it and he shall know it he shall feel it |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0015.wav | 475,244 | to sin and misery i'm not deceiving you adam said mister irwine arthur donnithorne is not come back was not come back when i left i have left a letter for him he will know |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0016.wav | 442,284 | he will know he will suffer long and bitterly he has a heart and a conscience i can't be entirely deceived in his character i am convinced |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0017.wav | 218,924 | he may be weak but he is not callous not coldly selfish i am persuaded |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0018.wav | 478,124 | all his life why do you crave vengeance in this way no amount of torture that you could inflict on him could benefit her no o god no adam groaned out sinking on his chair again |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0019.wav | 502,284 | but then that's the deepest curse of all that's what makes the blackness of it it can never be undone my poor hetty she can never be my sweet hetty again the prettiest thing god had made |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0020.wav | 484,044 | smiling up at me i thought she loved me and was good adam's voice had been gradually sinking into a hoarse undertone as if he were only talking to himself but now he said abruptly looking at mister irwine |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0021.wav | 406,444 | but she isn't as guilty as they say you don't think she is sir she can't ha done it that perhaps can never be known with certainty adam mister irwine answered gently |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0022.wav | 475,564 | in these cases we sometimes form our judgment on what seems to us strong evidence and yet for want of knowing some small fact our judgment is wrong but suppose the worst you have no right to say |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0023.wav | 436,684 | that the guilt of her crime lies with him and that he ought to bear the punishment it is not for us men to apportion the shares of moral guilt and retribution we find it impossible to avoid mistakes |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0024.wav | 158,604 | even in determining who has committed a single criminal act and the problem |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0025.wav | 389,324 | you have a mind that can understand this fully adam when you are calm don't suppose i can't enter into the anguish that drives you into this state of revengeful hatred but |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0026.wav | 498,124 | for it is passion and you deceive yourself in calling it justice it might be with you precisely as it has been with arthur nay worse your passion might lead you yourself into a horrible crime |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0027.wav | 444,844 | no not worse said adam bitterly i don't believe it's worse i'd sooner do it i'd sooner do a wickedness as i could suffer for by myself than ha brought her to do wickedness |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0028.wav | 494,124 | and then stand by and see em punish her while they let me alone and all for a bit o pleasure as if he'd had a man's heart in him he'd ha cut his hand off sooner than he'd ha taken it what if he didn't foresee what's happened |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0029.wav | 192,684 | he foresaw enough he'd no right to expect anything but harm and shame to her |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0030.wav | 267,244 | not half so hateful as that let a man do what he will if he knows he's to bear the punishment himself |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0031.wav | 495,724 | and knows all the while the punishment ll fall on somebody else there again you partly deceive yourself adam there is no sort of wrong deed of which a man can bear the punishment alone you can't isolate yourself |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0032.wav | 516,364 | i feel the terrible extent of suffering this sin of arthur's has caused to others but so does every sin cause suffering to others besides those who commit it an act of vengeance on your part against arthur would simply be another evil |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0033.wav | 494,444 | added to those we are suffering under you could not bear the punishment alone you would entail the worst sorrows on every one who loves you you would have committed an act of blind fury that would leave all the present evils just as they were |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0034.wav | 464,044 | as long as you do not see that to fix your mind on arthur's punishment is revenge and not justice you are in danger of being led on to the commission of some great wrong remember what you told me about your feelings |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0035.wav | 429,164 | after you had given that blow to arthur in the grove adam was silent the last words had called up a vivid image of the past and mister irwine left him to his thoughts |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0036.wav | 408,044 | while he spoke to bartle massey about old mister donnithorne's funeral and other matters of an indifferent kind but at length adam turned round and said in a more subdued tone |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0037.wav | 396,524 | is dinah morris come to em sir seth said they'd sent for her no mister poyser tells me she was not come when he left they're afraid the letter has not reached her |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0038.wav | 246,764 | it seems they had no exact address adam sat ruminating a little while and then said |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0039.wav | 63,724 | but perhaps the poysers |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0040.wav | 468,524 | since they won't come nigh her themselves but i think she would for the methodists are great folks for going into the prisons and seth said he thought she would she'd a very tender way with her dinah had |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0041.wav | 484,684 | you never saw her sir did you yes i did i had a conversation with her she pleased me a good deal and now you mention it i wish she would come for it is possible that a gentle mild woman like her |
/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/2817-142380-0042.wav | 425,964 | if i'd thought of it earlier i would have taken some measures for finding her out said mister irwine but it's too late now i fear well adam i must go now try to get some rest to night |

/data/libriadapt/en-in/clean/shure/train/125-121342-0001.wav | 434,604 | but old monotony is there endless avenues of rain oh might i rise again might i throw off the heat of that old wine see the new morning mass the sky with fairy towers line on line |
