/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/4898-28461-0051.wav | 494,124 | i found however that this was impossible in such a place i therefore tied his arms to his sides with my suspenders and necktie to prevent as much as possible inflammation from movement i then left him telling him to lie still |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/4898-28461-0052.wav | 507,884 | to make sure that it was not interrupted by sheer precipices i concluded that with great care and the digging of slight footholds he could be slid down to the glacier where i could lay him on his back and perhaps be able to set his arms |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/4898-28461-0056.wav | 99,564 | and succeeded in getting one of his arms into place |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/4898-28461-0057.wav | 466,124 | i therefore bound it closely to his side and asked him if in his exhausted and trembling condition he was still able to walk yes he bravely replied so with a steadying arm around him and many stops for rest |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/4898-28461-0060.wav | 484,844 | and a leafy bed beside it i now told him i would run down the mountain hasten back with help from the boat and carry him down in comfort but he would not hear of my leaving him no no he said i can walk down don't leave me |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/4898-28461-0061.wav | 307,564 | i reminded him of the roughness of the way his nerve shaken condition and assured him i would not be gone long but he insisted on trying |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/4898-28461-0063.wav | 484,524 | at a considerable angle i briefly explained to mister young's companions who stood looking down at us that he had been hurt in an accident and requested one of them to assist me in getting him aboard but strange to say instead of coming down to help |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/4898-28461-0064.wav | 497,644 | they made haste to reproach him for having gone on a wild goose chase with muir these foolish adventures are well enough for mister muir they said but you mister young have a work to do you have a family you have a church |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/4898-28461-0068.wav | 485,804 | then with a man holding down his shoulders we succeeded in getting the bone into its socket notwithstanding the inflammation and contraction of the muscles and ligaments mister young was then put to bed and he slept all the way back to wrangell |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0002.wav | 281,804 | as for m danglars absorbed in an interesting conversation with m cavalcanti he paid no attention to anything that was passing |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0003.wav | 305,004 | he had noticed the approach of villefort to madame danglars and he soon guessed all that had passed between them though the words had been uttered in so low a voice |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0004.wav | 459,084 | without opposing their arrangements he allowed morrel chateau renaud and debray to leave on horseback and the ladies in m de villefort's carriage danglars more and more delighted with major cavalcanti |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0007.wav | 431,724 | amongst whom with dilating eyes he saw the king's attorney then he had been seized upon by danglars who with a rapid glance at the stiff necked old major and his modest son |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0010.wav | 493,804 | then after dinner on the pretext of business he questioned the father and son upon their mode of living and the father and son previously informed that it was through danglars the one was to receive his forty eight thousand francs |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0012.wav | 413,804 | nay almost the veneration of danglars for cavalcanti the latter faithful to the principle of horace nil admirari had contented himself with showing his knowledge |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0013.wav | 273,644 | by declaring in what lake the best lampreys were caught then he had eaten some without saying a word more |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0014.wav | 509,324 | danglars therefore concluded that such luxuries were common at the table of the illustrious descendant of the cavalcanti who most likely in lucca fed upon trout brought from switzerland and lobsters sent from england |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0015.wav | 465,004 | by the same means used by the count to bring the lampreys from lake fusaro and the sterlet from the volga thus it was with much politeness of manner that he heard cavalcanti pronounce these words |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0018.wav | 317,324 | and that not having come together it would not be difficult for them to leave separately the major seated himself therefore by the side of danglars |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0019.wav | 412,844 | who was more and more charmed with the ideas of order and economy which ruled this man and yet who being able to allow his son sixty thousand francs a year |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0023.wav | 433,164 | and had returned just as they were starting but instead of either of these he saw nothing but a strange face sunburnt and encircled by a beard with eyes brilliant as carbuncles |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0024.wav | 429,644 | and a smile upon the mouth which displayed a perfect set of white teeth pointed and sharp as the wolf's or jackal's a red handkerchief encircled his gray head |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0025.wav | 466,444 | torn and filthy garments covered his large bony limbs which seemed as though like those of a skeleton they would rattle as he walked and the hand with which he leaned upon the young man's shoulder |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0026.wav | 384,684 | and which was the first thing andrea saw seemed of gigantic size did the young man recognize that face by the light of the lantern in his tilbury |
/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0027.wav | 356,364 | or was he merely struck with the horrible appearance of his interrogator we cannot say but only relate the fact that he shuddered and stepped back suddenly |

/data/libriadapt/en-gb/clean/respeaker/train/60-121082-0035.wav | 492,526 | at this name no doubt the young man reflected a little for he went towards his groom saying this man is right i did indeed charge him with a commission the result of which he must tell me walk to the barrier |
