A Canterbury Tale1944

Thomas Colpeper, JP:
[hidden in the tall grass] Glorious, isn't it?

Alison Smith:
[startled] Is anybody there?

Thomas Colpeper, JP:
[standing] It's a real voice you heard. You're not dreaming.

Alison Smith:
You know, just now I - I heard sounds.

Thomas Colpeper, JP:
What sounds did you hear?

Alison Smith:
Horses' hooves, voices, and a lute. Or an instrument like a lute. Did you hear anything?

Thomas Colpeper, JP:
Those sounds come from inside, not outside. Then only when you're concentrating, when you believe strongly in something. Just now I was concentrating on who was coming up the hill to disturb me.

Alison Smith:
Disturb you? At what?

Thomas Colpeper, JP:
Breathing the air, smelling the earth, watching the clouds. Why don't you sit down?
