    Sorry for the delay with this one. Been a bit busy. Hope you enjoy this wonderful Marjorie Bowen tale. I made a tweak to the source text because I believe there was a confusion about which character was speaking and thought it would improve the listening experience. If anyone wants to take me to task over my pronunciation of "murrain", I chose the archaic pronunciation "murrein" as it seemed appropriate to the period in which the story's set. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it 😉 CONTENT WARNING: 🙉Derogatory language 📢Loud noises

    Good story-vividly told. I was confused by the fact that Horne has two names-Richard & Robert. But no one else seems to have been.

    Enjoyed this one, Jasper. Very atmospheric, even without your superb storytelling skills.
    The housekeeper Goody was an incredible character; I could see her vividly despite the only description given was of her large, clean hands.
    Just out of not-very-much-interest my old married name was Baitup. I can't remember where the name originates from though. ❤

      It's so frustrating. I suppose I could do a Community post at the same time as I do a new upload but I've read that you also get punished by the algorithm if they think you're spamming your subscribers...😔. It's just crazy to me that people who actually watch and engage (and are channel members) don't get notifications.

    So hard to find good horror readings on YT. Everything else is all "Crappy-Pasta" written by no-talent amateurs using the same tropes over and over, all written in first-person in a transparent attempt to mask the bland writing.

    Exercising your telepathic powers again, Mr L? I have been spending the past few days demolishing white hemlock around my place. It has a smell like the herb called rue here...one dislikes it heartily after a few hours of pulling it up. Ms Bowen perhaps could have benefited from an editor who gently steered her away from the unfortunately similar names of the characters. But your presentation is most entertaining & the source material well worth your efforts. It is, as we like to say these days, what it is.
