Thus was he magnified. Chu-bu was an idol of some antiquity, as may be seen from the colour of the wood. He had been carved out of mahogany, and after he was carved he had been polished. Then they had set him up on the diorite pedestal with the brazier in front of it for burning spices and the flat gold plates for fat. Thus they worshipped Chu-bu. He must have been there for over a hundred years when one day the priests came in with another idol into the temple of Chu-bu, and set it up on a pedestal near Chu-bu's and sang, \"There is also Sheemish.\" And all the people rejoiced and cried out, \"There is also Sheemish.\" Sheemish was palpably a modern idol, and although the wood was stained with a dark-red dye, you could see that he had only just been carved. And honey was offered to Sheemish as well as Chu-bu, and also maize and fat. The fury of Chu-bu knew no time-limit: he was furious all that night, and next day he was furious still. The situation called for immediate miracles.", "NEY WAS OFFERED TO CHIBAH AND MAIZE AND FAT THUS WAS HE MAGNIFIED CHIBO WAS AN IDOL OF SOME ANTIQUITY AS MAY BE SEEN FROM THE COLOUR OF THE WOOD HE HAD BEEN CARVED OUT OF MAHOGANY AND AFTER HE WAS CARVED HE HAD BEEN POLISHED THEN THEY HAD SET HIM UP ON THE DIARITE PEDESTAL WITH THE BRAZIER IN FRONT OF IT FOR BURNING SPICES AND THE FLAT GOLD PLATE FOR FAT THUS THEY WORSHIPPED CHEBAH HE MUST HAVE BEEN THERE FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS WHEN ONE DAY THE PRIEST CAME IN WITH ANOTHER IDOL INTO THE TEMPLE OF CHEBAH AND SET IT UP ON A PEDESTAL NEAR CHEBAZ AND SAYING THERE IS ALSO SHEISH AND ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICED AND CRIED OUT THERE IS ALSO SHEISH SHEMISH WAS PALPABLY A MODERN IDOL AND ALTHOUGH THE WOOD WAS STAINED WITH A DARK RED DYE YOU COULD SEE THAT HE HAD ONLY JUST BEEN CARVED AND HONEY WAS OFFERED TO SHEMISH AS WELL AS CHOBA AND ALSO MAIZE AND FAT THE FURY OF CHEBAH KNEW NO TIME LIMIT HE WAS FURIOUS ALL THAT NIGHT AND NEXT DAY HE WAS FURIOUS STILL THE SITUATION CALLED FOR IMMEDIATE MIRACLES" ], "begin_byte": 106150, "end_byte": 106442 } } ]	{ "id": "large/803/book_wonder_ge_librivox_64kb_mp3/bookofwonder_13_dunsany_64kb", "sources": [ { "type": "file", "channels": [ 0 ], "source": "download/librilight/large/803/book_wonder_ge_librivox_64kb_mp3/bookofwonder_13_dunsany_64kb.flac" } ], "sampling_rate": 16000, "num_samples": 10264654, "duration": 641.540875, "channel_ids": [ 0 ] }	{ "text_path": "download/librilight_text/output_text_large_cleaned/Book of Wonder/text.txt" }	MonoCut

Mother rode Jocko Root, Ted a first-class cavalry horse, I rode Renown, and with us went Senator Lodge, Uncle Douglas, Cousin John Elliott, Mr. Bob Fergie, and General Wood. We had a three hours' scamper which was really great fun.

She submitted, at Mrs. Austin's request; but it seemed as if she scarcely understood why the medicine was offered to her. She was like a sleep-walker, whose brain is peopled by the creatures of a dream, and who has no consciousness of the substantial realities that surround him. The draught Mr. Vincent had spoken of as a sedative turned out to be a very powerful opiate, and Margaret sank into a profound slumber about a quarter of an hour after taking the medicine. Mrs. Austin went to Clement to carry him these good tidings. \"I shall sit up two or three hours, and see how the poor girl goes on, Clement,\" the widow said; \"but I hope you'll go to bed; I know all this excitement has worn you out.", "AR THIS IS A LIVER BOX RECORDING ALL LIVERPOX RECORDINGS ARE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO VOLUNTEER PLEASE VISIT LIVERPOX DOT ORG RECORDING BY EMMA JOYCE HENRY DUNBAR BY MARY ELIZABETH BRADEN CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR FAREWELL MARGARET SUBMITTED TO TAKE THE SEDATIVE DRAFT SENT BY THE MEDICAL MAN SHE SUBMITTED AT MISSUS AUSTEN'S REQUEST BUT IT SEEMED AS IF SHE SCARCELY UNDERSTOOD WHY THE MEDICINE WAS OFFERED TO HER SHE WAS LIKE A SLEEP WALKER WHOSE BRAIN IS PEOPLED BY THE CREATURES OF A DREAM AND WHO HAS NO CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE SUBSTANTIAL REALITIES THAT SURROUND HIM THE DRAFT MISTER VINCENT HAD SPOKEN OF AS A SEDATIVE TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY POWERFUL OPIATE AND MARGARET SANK INTO A PROFOUND SLUMBER ABOUT A QUARTER OF AN HOUR AFTER TAKING THE MEDICINE MISSUS AUSTIN WENT TO CLEMENT TO CARRY HIM THESE GOOD TIDINGS I SHALL SIT UP TWO OR THREE HOURS AND SEE HOW THE POOR GIRL GOES ON CLEMENT THE WIDOW SAID BUT I HOPE YOU WILL GO TO BED I KNOW ALL THIS EXCITEMENT HAS WORN YOU OUT" ], "begin_byte": 584775, "end_byte": 585000 } } ]	{ "id": "large/8432/henrydunbar_1309_librivox_64kb_mp3/henrydunbar_34_braddon_64kb", "sources": [ { "type": "file", "channels": [ 0 ], "source": "download/librilight/large/8432/henrydunbar_1309_librivox_64kb_mp3/henrydunbar_34_braddon_64kb.flac" } ], "sampling_rate": 16000, "num_samples": 19623620, "duration": 1226.47625, "channel_ids": [ 0 ] }	{ "text_path": "download/librilight_text/output_text_large_cleaned/Henry Dunbar/text.txt" }	MonoCut
