Wondering if your ever going to do anymore JT Rolt, I’ve read and listened to a bunch of his stuff, and he’s another of my favorites. I’m sure you have an entire list of stuff you need to get to, especially for you patrons. so, no worries or hurries. Was curious, and if you hadn’t thought of it recently, just hoped to keep it… (what was it Biden’s press Secretary called it, after he signed a press release mourning a Congresswoman lost in a car crash, then went and asked where she was a couple weeks later, the same week he was to dedicate a hospital to her?): “Top of Mind”. Cheers
Absolutely delightful!! As always. An unusually hard day today left me wanting nothing but whiskey and oblivion, but this story offered a thrilling diversion and has reset my mood a great deal. Thank you so much for - once again - producing such a fantastic video.
I’ve been trying to find this! I didn’t know the title, but I do love A.M. Burrage - imagine my surprise that he coined the term “fourth wall” with this work, a term that I thought was modern, and so never used it in searching for this story! Yet, here you’ve supplied it for me. Much thanks Jasper! It’s a bit of an eerie coincidence, a fourth wall break for myself? Are we all but players on a stage, as Shakespeare suggested? Who was William Shakespeare, for that matter? Was he real? Who knows...
@Goochie Gum Girl same here!! I literally couldn’t believe it when I heard ‘Huntingdonshire’ and then St Ives! I’m just over the border in East Cambs now but used to live in Somersham… from the description of the place in the story, it could be Somersham!
lovely reading..enjoyable vocal characterisations. the cottage set reminiscent of the super bright cosiness of the parlour in Dead of Night...more layers to this tale than evident at first.
When things appear down I can always count on Jasper to spread joy. I need to get more money to you mate. I'll have to sell some body parts. I think my neighbor has some that would appeal to people.

@@MSYNGWIE12 Luckily these stories are all uploaded for people to listen for free...which is a pretty good deal these days. I keep the tip jar open for those who can spare a few quid and I'm lucky that a few folk still can. But I don't take it for granted, nor do I expect it. The stories stay free regardless 👍
I guess l'd call that story 'quaint'. I discovered A.M. Burrage through finding you, Jasper, l like his dialogue, it's so much of its time.... People got 'nerves'. Always makes me smile.
Nerve trouble? Prescription: a bit of fresh air (two months' worth to be exact). I agree this is a quaint story. I was interested in the particular nature of the "haunting" in this one, although I think a later author would have made more of it.
Master L'Estrange, with both Halloween and The Day of The Dead fast approaching can we expect an original tale? What sort of "picnic" lunch might one pack for El Dia de Los Muertos?! ( one shudders to speculate!) Silliness aside, I would find such an outing very, very interesting- I have always been drawn to graveyards- Namaste Enjoy your weekend
Though probably of quite different meaning or context to the phrase. Today we more associate it to the phrase "Breaking the Fourth Wall" to Comedies in Film or Television with most of us unaware of the Theatrical meaning to it.
I Iove the originality of this tale. Your characterizations are perfect as usual. I thought I'd miss TV when I ditched ATT, the only choice I have where I live. How wrong I was! I wish I had that money back to send to my You Tube favorites. Oh well, too soon old, too late smart.

I love A.M. Burrage.
Excellent story and narration! I really wish A.M. Burrage and his work was better known!
The pace of your narration matched up perfectly with the pace of the story. Wonderful work.
Absolutely delightful!! As always. An unusually hard day today left me wanting nothing but whiskey and oblivion, but this story offered a thrilling diversion and has reset my mood a great deal. Thank you so much for - once again - producing such a fantastic video.

Jasper!!! I am from Hunts and five mins drive from St ives. What a pleasure. Thanks ❤
Lovely part of the world, used to travel that way a fair bit 😊

Thanks!
Thank You!

Beautifully narrated as always my good sir.
Loved it. Thank you Jasper.
You're very welcome. Thanks Melanie 🙏
Very neat story. Everything fits nicely. Not too many words...well-created atmosphere🖤
Thank you Jasper🙏

Really liked this one Jasper, and the music. Thank you! The river Ooze sounds tantalising......
Actually "Ouse", but I probably overdid the Oooos. It's a lovely river.
You narrate the most wonderful stories that I’ve never before heard!

Very entertaining! Captivating narration and vivid sound-images, Thank you!
You're welcome, Marti 👍
I've read and heard a lot of Burrage. I don't think I've come across this before. Thanks!
You're very welcome 👍
Oh yay another Burrage. I'm not familiar with this one, so very excited to hear it. Thx again Jasper
You're welcome! Like the pumpkin avatar too 😄 It's smashing.
@@EnCryptedHorror Good one Jasper! 🎶
There's a funny thing. A title that's probably much more readily understood by more people now than it was during the author's lifetime.
Yes, I think you're right there.
And 180 rule
Though probably of quite different meaning or context to the phrase. Today we more associate it to the phrase "Breaking the Fourth Wall" to Comedies in Film or Television with most of us unaware of the Theatrical meaning to it.
@@inisipisTV Good point. Modern readers would probably expect the characters in the story to acknowledge they're just characters in a story.
I wish Jasper would come back to RUclips 😢. I found this channel right after the last video dropped... last yr

Sorry, Jean. Got a bit carried away 😁
